With three movies being about that long, they may actually do justice to the book. I won't hold my breath, but it could happen.

I can't wait. I love the Lord of the Rings trilogy. I will definately see this in theather. Word is they are making two hobbit movies.

Hell I heard they were making it into a trilogy. I reckon we'll find out.

EDIT: Didn't read all the way to the back. Apparently this has already been confirmed.

to be sore from sitting so long. But seriously I'm stoked about the movie! I read all the LOTR books and then the Hobbit and found out about the film being made just after I finished the book.

Doesn't make me want to see it as much as the other one.

I agree, the first one was better.

My son and I just finished reading the book again. He's 8 and it has been his bed time book for the last couple months. He is geeked up about the films (I suppose I am too), but was disappointed in the trailers because he didn't see Beorn. Here is the first look at him that they've leaked out.

Here is the guy playing him. Not exactly what I had pictured, but I'm sure he'll pull it off well.

Well this thread convinced me that I have to read Hobbit, I have never read it before. I went and checked it out from the library, but it felt so weird getting a book from the children section. I just have 2 finish 2 other books that I am reading now, then I will start on this one.

I have seen all the LOR movies, but this will be my first experience with any of the books. I hope you all have good taste in books.

The Hobbit is a much better book than LotR IMO. Less "Epic" but a a fun adventure/quest story.

My wife and I are all geeked up! I've been re-reading the There and Back Again. Should have it done in time.

Prolly the first movie I have been excited to see in a long time.

I have to admit I'm conflicted. I'm a huge Tolkien fan and loved the books and the LOTR movies, but I'm concerned about this movie. First off The Hobbit was a fun book and was not dark at all like the LOTR books. I have a feeling, watching the previews, that the movie is going to be darker than the book was.

Also a trilogy? The book isn't long enough to be a trilogy. The LOTR movies were for the most part, one movie per book. The Hobbit isn't as long as any of the individual LOTR books, but it's somehow big enough for three movies? It makes me wonder what content is being added to fill in the time.

Hopefully I'm wrong though as I'd love it if the movies were awesome. We shall see.

Check out the video that Printcraft linked above. They explain where they got the extra content. Given that they had to cut so much out of the LOTR to fit it into three movies, it actually is believable that if they insert some related content, they can turn the Hobbit into more of an epic. Apparently, the story will be more than just "There and Back", but will also cover what is going on in the larger world leading up to the LOTR.
