The Hobbit

Okay maybe I've been living under a rock but I just saw the trailer for the upcoming Hobbit movie and it looks great! This is news to me, I've heard rumours but nothing as substantial as this up till now. Yay I can't wait

I saw it on the news that they were considering making the prequel. I didn't know it was a sure thing. Links please?

<font color=skyblue>I assure you what you saw was fake. There is talk of maybe doing the Hobbit someday...but there is no trailer other than fabricated ones.</font>

Yep I think It's fake too actually. I just checked for the official word and there is none. I downloaded this on Kazaa and there are many scenes from the origianl LOTR's while referring to the discovery of the ring (in the fellowships epilogue) which someone could easily just sham together. However, there are other scenes of Bilbo facing a dragon, another with him running from the cave and the water is on fire and yet another of a dragon attacking a village with the buildings on fire. What struck me though was how similiar the dragon looked to that of the ones on 'reign of fire' the movie

.

I dunno, the title says 'Leaked preview of the Hobbit' and boasts It's release Dec 19th 2006...regardless of what it is it still makes me feel good..hey, I can dream [img]smile.gif[/img] .

Is it just a touched-up version of the commercial for the videogame? 'Cause I just got back from the theater where the commercial played... and the scenes you describe sound JUST like what I saw.

It wasn't direct3d or opengl graphics if that's what you mean. This was film, raw scenes of combat, action etc.

Well, Peter Jackson did he say he was going to film 'the Hobbit' as well. I hope it works out [img]smile.gif[/img]

PJ needs the rights.

Hell will freeze over before it is surrendered to him. Given what I have read about Christopher Tolkien.

New Line has the rights to make the hobbit but not the rights to distribute it. If I remember correctly the distribution rights are owned by United Artists.

On a side note, someone needs to remove the staff up Christopher's butt [img]tongue.gif[/img]

What have you read about him? I haven't heard anything, but I haven't been looking either. Is he asking for too much $$ or what?
