Thank God.


So he was.  Oops.  However, he's still an important character, despite how annoying he is.

He's an average actor.  I like the guy but meh...  Plus isn't he quite tall?

I just dropped back in on this page and noticed I messed up the youtube link.  If you haven't seen Leonard Nimoy doing the Bilbo Baggins song, go back and laugh your ass off or cringe.
Released date are often when it it impacted you but recorded dates are when it really happened...

There are two movies involving two concurrent time lines dealing with Bilbo and Dwarves quest and that of the White Council and the overthrow of Dol Guldor.  Radagast is mentioned in the Hobbit by Beorn and is part of the White Council. Thror and Thrain will be shown as background material I am sure much the same way Isildur and Elendil were in the Lord of the Rings. While he isn't mentioned by name Legolas would surely be in the house of his father Thranduil, King of the Wood Elves.  Perfect spot for a cameo.  The same goes for Frodo's father. The only one that really is a stretch is Frodo.

Eh, doesn't matter. Worked in the past.


Also, I definitely see PJ omitting Beorn, who is The Hobbit equivalent of, yes, Tom Bombadil.

The 2nd movie will probably blow.

For you other Tolkien fans - there is alot that can be inferred just from this.
 
Anachronisms? Or does the film go beyond the chronological bounds of the book?

Bard, the archer, is not on the list?

Well, one thing is sure: this will launch Richard Armitage into stardom. I'd prefer somebody older, and I hope he will be both remarkable and arrogant.
Percussion, sir!

That so-called "Peter Jackson" in the OP's video is an IMPOSTER! Here's the real deal for you:

Elrond is not cast yet...I assume they want Hugo Weaving back...seems strange. Similarly, I don't see omitting Bard as an option. Maybe just not cast yet.
 
Having the White Council and the over throw of Dol Guldor could be awesome!!!
 
 
You are quite a fine person, and I am very fond of you. But you are only quite a little fellow, in a wide world, after all.
