With the unprecedented success of the 3 Lord of the Rings movies it was pretty much a no-brainer that director Peter Jackson would get the chance to make the prequel to the LOTR storyline, The Hobbit. What isn't well known is Jackson's concerns over making The Hobbit, the movie.
As readers of the books can easily attest, The Hobbit is by far the weakest of the four books. This will put the pressure on Jackson to create a movie on par with the 3 already completed. He is going to have to do it with a greatly reduced budget as well. The special effects that were such a grand part of the blockbuster movies will not be much of a factor in the rather pedantic Hobbit storyline and the movie is budgeted accordingly.Added to this is the problem of characters. Both the Bilbo Baggins (played by Ian Holm)and Gandalf (played by Ian McKellen) characters appear in The Hobbit but that storyline occurs many years before the time of the other movies. Jackson has resolved this issue by recasting the parts. Leonard Nimoy has been cast to play the younger Gandalf. At the time of this writing it is unknown who will play the lead roll of Bilbo Baggins.
Despite his difficulties and concerns, Jackson remains upbeat and optimistic over his new movie project.
I'm happy that Peter Jackson remains optimistic but if you're a fan of the first three movies and you've seen The Hobbit advanced teaser trailer you might agree with me that there is some definite cause for concern. If you haven't seen it yet you should probably take a minute to do so and form your own opinion.
Whatever you think of Peter Jackson, please DON'T watch "Meet The Feebles." My GF (Gorgeous Fiancé) has it in her movie collection and I accidentally watched it a couple of weekends ago.
I was really hard to go see the third movie after that. All the time I kept thinking – “This guy made Meet The Feebles?” “How did he possibly get the Film Studio to back him for this epic after that?” It was the worst movie I have ever seen. So bad in fact you want to watch it again just to be sure...
I'll put that right next to Master of Disguise in the category of "Movies that are so bad there is no need to see them just to be sure if the people who said they were so bad were right about how bad they are".
That "trailer" is so funny. You really had more for a second. Dan "WTF?" Nimoy "Bilbo Baggins!" Dan- runs around screaming. Pat yourself on the back por favor.
No, no, no, no, no, The Hobbit is NOT the weakest of the four books, it is the strongest. The LOTR trilogy is long and boring and lacks a sense of humour. It has glaring plot errors (like, it takes Frodo and Sam three freaking books to reach Mount Doom in Mordor, and then once the ring has been disposed of, they are taken back to safety in under a chapter by the eagles, making you wonder WHERE THE HELL WERE THOSE EAGLES WHEN YOU NEEDED THEM?)
I prefer The Hobbit, which is complete in itself, which manages to pack more into 200 pages than the LOTR manages to pack in 1000 pages, and which doesn't make so much fuss and bother over a little invisibility ring (in The Hobbit, it's just an ingenious plot device; in the LOTR, it's taken out of all proportion). I mean, sure, nice bits in LOTR, some good characters and decent ideas and all that, but The Hobbit is much better, I reckon. Sorry, guys, but that's how I feel!
Okay. I knew it couldn't possibly be a real trailer. I knew it would be something funny.
But you have to die for putting that awful, awful tune and image in my head.
Die. Quickly, but painfully.
I'm one step closer to hell for making this post, aren't I? At a minimum I've put a serious hit on my karma. I better go out and adopt a kitten real quick.
"a little invisibility ring"? Ooookay, TimT. Whatever.
Can't. Stop. Watching.
I'll get you, my little pretty.
And your little kitten, TOO!
I would like to see Peter Jackson do the Simillarion instead of The Hobbit. The Hobbit is a precursor for the ring, but The Simmillarion opens the story to the trilogy.
