The Hobbit

Whats with all the bad quotes. There is an equal amount of people who saw the preview who thought the 49 fps was better. Aintit cool liked it. Stated that a lot of the footage was not finished and the scenes that were looked good in 48fps.

just pasting the article, I wonder if the bad outweighs the good

I like the idea of higher fps. I would be more likely to watch something that looks "too accurate."

I really don't understand the people who are complaining. They seem to be basically saying that it looks too good! :wacko:

Looking too real isn't the same as looking too good. I'm with the assessment that it looking more accurate negatively emphasizes the fake parts, making them less life-like.

I demand to see these 10 minutes so I can judge for myself.

Well the 3rd movie is now official.

It is only at the end of a shoot that you finally get the chance to sit down and have a look at the film you have made. Recently Fran, Phil and I did just this when we watched for the first time an early cut of the first movie - and a large chunk of the second. We were really pleased with the way the story was coming together, in particular, the strength of the characters and the cast who have brought them to life. All of which gave rise to a simple question: do we take this chance to tell more of the tale? And the answer from our perspective as the filmmakers, and as fans, was an unreserved ?yes.'

We know how much of the story of Bilbo Baggins, the Wizard Gandalf, the Dwarves of Erebor, the rise of the Necromancer, and the Battle of Dol Guldur will remain untold if we do not take this chance. The richness of the story of The Hobbit, as well as some of the related material in the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, allows us to tell the full story of the adventures of Bilbo Baggins and the part he played in the sometimes dangerous, but at all times exciting, history of Middle-earth.

So, without further ado and on behalf of New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Wingnut Films, and the entire cast and crew of ?The Hobbit? films, I?d like to announce that two films will become three.

It has been an unexpected journey indeed, and in the words of Professor Tolkien himself, "a tale that grew in the telling."

Cheers,

They're taking a single book and splitting it into three movies?

3 movies?

not sure if want!

[trag3dy]

I thought it was just two movies?

Well it was more like at first a single book + a good amount of other stuff Tolkien wrote to bridge the Hobbit and Trilogy. And now they are adding even more of that extra stuff that while not in the book itself takes place during the same time frame.

More I see of this the more I am excited. I will have to reread the book again before this comes out.

[Mathachew Veteran]

Man that looks great, and I also will be rereading the book.

After watching the trailer I only have one concern. That there will be too much dwarf humor, as if it was added in to pull in a younger audience then you would normally expect (I know my one nephew was deathly afraid of Golem in LOTR). I hope I am wrong but just that scene at the end of the trailer with the troll falling on them, I just think its dumb/not needed. I trust Jackson because of his work on the original trilogy but I will remain skeptical.
