Coming SOon
Peter Jackson just confirmed on Facebook that "The Hobbit" will now be three films:
It is only at the end of a shoot that you finally get the chance to sit down and have a look at the film you have made. Recently Fran, Phil and I did just this when we watched for the first time an early cut of the first movie - and a large chunk of the second. We were really pleased with the way the story was coming together, in particular, the strength of the characters and the cast who have brought them to life. All of which gave rise to a simple question: do we take this chance to tell more of the tale? And the answer from our perspective as the filmmakers, and as fans, was an unreserved ‘yes.'
With the new The Crow remake coming soon, we take a look back at the 30-year-old cult classic original–and where the stars are now.
Kaam Chalu Hai Review: Based on true events, this movie is thought-provoking and inspiring
Rebel Moon Part 2 Review: This movie doesn't feel anything new or worth remembering, which is a shame.
Hardly a shocker here. I actually did quite enjoy the Hobbit books so I thin this is rather exciting news but I really didn't like Lord of the Rings. I hope this doesn't feel too much like that series.
Two's not bad, but three seems a bit much.
And completely confirmed that I wont be watching any.
I don't know how they're going to do this but I hope it means they're covering the books extensively in as much detail as possible and not just shortening each film to make extra $$
The problem I see with this though is that it might make it a little.. boring. If it's at the same level as LOTRs movies, I doubt that'd be possible but despite being three hours long, none of them ever really dragged on and it moves along at a good pace. Still, I do hope that despite this, we'll see extended editions (on release) for each movie.
Like the first three films, I want this series to succeed, but...
Just from catching glimpses of this one, I get the feeling that it just might not be the outrageous success they intend it to be even given the number of fans there are out there.
The dwarfs just don't seem "right" to me looking at them. Gimli and the others looked great in LOTR, but these just seem off somehow. I know it may take more than that to break the film, but it doesn't imbue me with a lot of enthusiasm.
Crosses fingers.
