Should Peter Jackson do a movie for The Hobbit?
I personally think it would be a pretty good idea... As long as he doesn't mess up like in the Lord of The Rings movie.
It also would complement Lord of The Rings. Then he should do The Silmarillion in 50 movies!

There's a thread about this already. No doubt, this one will be padlocked, and you redirected to the previous thread.
EDIT: Don't feel bad, it happens all the time. Even to the less-new members.

It ain't happened yet, so I'll reply now.
NOOO! He should never have picked on Tolkien, never ever ever ever! Don't let him onto the Hobbit or we'll have a big battle scene between the mysterious zombie thrush and evil Smaug the nasty.

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank God PJ will never get the rights to The Silmarillion, he would rewrite 75% of it and claim that this is what Toliken meant, like he did with LotR. PJ has no idea what Tolkien meant, all PJ cares about is MONEY!

Who mentioned the Sil? Why did you jumped with Sil? (Though I can understand the feelings about a Sil movie)

Sorry, I meant no to The Hobbit movie idea. The statement on PJ making The Sil just got my blood boiling.

i never said it was messed up- some things were different. pj did a good job, but once seeing a movie it is sometimes hard to imagine it as you did before you saw it and were just reading the book.

I have to agree that, although PJ was DEFINATELY motivated by money, there was another reason for his sacriledge....
Someone told him it couldn't be done! He was trying to prove that he could do it, but Im afraid all he's proved is that the book is totally unfilmable. Give up now and don't ruin anything else PJ!

I disagree. I think he proved that HE is incapable of filming it, not that it is unfilmable. I'm sure a true follower of the Great Lord Tolkien with their priorities straight could film it. It might be long, but who cares?
(And they'd also need to be aware of the fact that nearly all Eldar have dark hair. )

They'd probably just make low-budget films that are 9 hours long each... and there'd be 8 of them.

Hey, with low budget, you can't do tremendous SFX and elaborate battle scenes, so you have to rely on the story. Which of course is most important of all.

But the CG was damn cool, you have to admit that.

Of course! (we ARE talking about the LOTR movies, aren't we?)
CGI was spectacular. I never denied that. I'd have to be: A. An Idiot or B. A Liar to say that. Hmm...now that I look at that first one...it sucked!
