The Hobbit Trilogy Discussion Thread

From Peter Jackson's Facebook-


Right, time to start answering the 20 questions. So here goes...


OFFICIAL QUESTION #1

VALERIA KEMENTARI asked, "Are we going to see the White Council attacking Dol Guldor?"

[Show spoiler]
This was quite a popular topic, with JOHN LIDDLE, TOBY PHILLIPS and SETH DONALD, along with many others, asking variations of this same question.


I'm not going to say just what and when, but I will confirm that both the White Council and Dol Guldur will feature in the movies. And not just in one scene either. Just how to visualise it has been a challenge, but fortunately Alan Lee and John Howe went crazy with ideas, and it should look pretty cool.


In fact to celebrate the start of these 20 questions, I'll show you an exclusive photo of the White Council planning the attack on Dol Guldur! Even if you don't want to be hit with spoilers, you should still take a look. For the first image of Gandalf, Elrond and Galadriel brandishing an array of fearsome Elvish weapons, CLICK HERE!



.

Another question soon...



Cheers,

Peter J

Proud of PJ for using Facebook this time out, instead of AICN, for the 20 questions.

Agreed.


Also from his Facebook-


STEVEN BEDDOE asked, "Will you have time to sift through 4,000 questions just to answer twenty of them?"


Yes, I will. I've been very busy recently, not just with shooting, but with location scouting and prep work during our days off, so I've found it hard to get to the questions. However, today I have enjoyed sitting down and reading through them all. I'll get started and continue to answer what seem to be the most popular questions during the next few weeks (as well as some one-off, quirky ones!).


Actually, that question was just a little dull (sorry Steven), so I'm not going to include it in the official twenty...

It's printed on her shirt.

It just might be an invitation.

My biggest issue with this prequel is that it effectively makes the ridiculously awesome prologue that begins the Fellowship of the Ring pointless, if you're to watch these two films before we watch the Lord of the Rings Trilogy...

...unless Jackson's going to re-edit the opening of the Fellowship of the Ring in that mega-box set of all five films that we absolutely, positively know is going to come out in about five years.

Loving the subtitles for the films and will definitely be in the theater opening week.

It was printed on the T-shirt of the Hobbit in 5 girl. My answer would be "no".

I see. Well since I'm single, I would respond to her something like "Let's talk".

Sorry, it's not a prequel but a precursor. J.R.R. Tolkien didn't write THE HOBBIT after The Lord of the Rings but prior.
Still can't wait for these two films and enjoying the film titles subtitles for both.

If you mean the Extended prologue, where Bilbo is writing his book, he's writing "There and Back Again", about his adventures.

(Not to mention, that in the Extended Fellowship, the characters see a group of stone trolls, and all we have to go on is the earlier scene of Bilbo telling the children the story at the party...Was he just making it up?)

God I can't wait for these.

I love how PJ actually creates sets. It makes a difference in his films.

Could you imagine Lucas's vision of LOTR?
