Good a time as any to start a thread for this.

Pretty cool. I think this movie has the potential to be VERY FUN with hints of darkness and some allusions to the Lord of the Rings. Drinking, Dragons and Giant Spiders...this is the novel that predates and blows Harry Potter out of the water. I expect good things, and if this movie doesn't deliver than fuck it, it is still one of the coolest books I have ever read.

Edit: On a side note, The Hobbit is much less politically involved than LOTRs. Now, I say that as a casual fan....so I could be speaking out of my ass...but the Hobbit is a straight up adventure, while LOTRs is much more sharp with its overall grandeur. The point is The Hobbit should border on popcorn cinema, and evoke the most exciting parts of my childhood imagination.

Part 3. A lot of dwarf stuff...and James Bond.

I know we have a trailer thread, but some movies seem bigger than that, and I think The Hobbit is one of them.

Here's the trailer for one of next year's biggest movies

Is it just me or is that trailer not all that special? It makes it look like there's happening even less in The Hobbit than there already is.

Well, it's a teaser for a movie year away. And only the first half. Got trolls, and goblins, and wargs, and a dragon, and a bear-man, and Gollum, and giant spiders, and elves, and a battle to look forward to. Though not sure where the first will end off.

I think it looks awesome. And I hate everything.

This movie is going to be magical.
