10-3 = 7
Then it says 'joining' with, not 'adding to' (2+24+7) = 33. So Monday at 7:33, as DPR says. Rather annoying way to do it, if you ask me.

Nah, 'tis in the tradition of The Hobbit. It's a riddle. In the dark...
The first stanza, as we know, translates to "Time". The second stanza must refer to the day of the full moon. But that was Sunday.

It doesn't say "full" moon. It says "the day of the moon" which is Monday.
I can't get the numbers to work out though...unless the periods mean something and we have 7.26.7 which doesn't mean anything to me. Nothing happened on Monday that I know of....

Not the right answer for some of us Tolkien purists, mr. del Toro. The statement to consider the three other movies as canon above, you know, the book, fills me with a bit of misgivings.

I never would have thought GDT would climb on board to do The Hobbit? The man is going to run himself ragged one of these days
Thanks for the article, Kennashi

maybe they are going to use the same location as before for the shire, and when they packed up last time, they took their trees and plants with them?

They pretty much destroyed their version of Hobbiton and Bag's End for that one scene in Galadriel's mirror, if I'm not mistaken. So if they want to film new scenes there, they will have to rebuild it just as it was in the previous movies? That's the only explanation I can come up with.

It's just about consistency. These films are obviously meant as prequels to PJ's work. So they should be more consistent with them than with the book, if there is a conflict.

Well, that at least seems to cover the Beorn debate.

For now. A lot of water remains to go under the movie bridge before the final product hits the screens.

An intense PG-13? I wouldn't classify The LotR as intense, does this mean The Hobbit will be more adult than LotR? I would prefer a PG Hobbit.
