McGarnicalI haven’t watched this yet, but The Hobbit is not just more LotR. The tone was completely different. I hope they get this right. They got LotR right, so I’m guessing they will 🙂

Lanceagreed the hobbit looks brighter an more colorful then LOTR’s and its doom and gloom look
-
Joshy206Not to mention that the sense of scale is completely different. LotR is the whole of middle-earth and all races. Hobbit is tiny in comparison.

TUALMASOKWTF? As a standalone, nothing to do with LOTR franchise, it would have been awesome.
As a film version of LOTR – it fucking sucked. So much was left out, missed, downplayed and ignored. P Jackson was full of shit when he said he was a fan.

James MacI’ve read those books… in all honesty everything that was cut, needed to be.
Tolkien could have used a bloody good editor.
There was so much needless detail in those books.

Flash or HTML5 (if you join the HTML5 trial at http://www.youtube.com/html5) for those who don’t want to install Quicktime.

Why do people hate apple trailers so much? Just curious.
I love how colourful it is, Christopher Nolan eat your heart out.

Because after clicking through the link; I was met with a message that informed me that I had to install Quicktime in order to view the trailer. Whilst I can understand needing a plugin to view a video online (though really… an HTML5 compliant solution would be lovely); and I’m no fan of flash… I don’t want to install an *application* from Apple to view a single video. Especially given Apple’s apparent hate of plugins (flash).

BraaainsWould love to have seen Guillermo Del Toro’s take on this, but it wasn’t to be. And if he couldn’t do it then I’m glad they talked Jackson into stepping in and doing it himself.

ZingiHe stepped down ffrom directing but was still on as a writer/co-writer to the screenplay. At one stage in an interview he said that he had designed a concept of the dragon, in which the creature itself looked like a giant weapon (I think he said axe) which I thought would be a really interesting idea.
It would be really cool if they stuck with his design. He is the best for monsters.

MichaelYeah releasing a trailer a whole year before the movie is due out is kinda lame :/ And I thought 6 months to the Dark Knight Rises was bad…

Well some of us have been waiting about 3.5 years since the first trailer for Diablo 3 came to light, and yet the wait continues. Games can be so much more cruel than movies 🙁

SamI haven’t read the book, but it’s looks kind of comedic compared to LOTR right?
Like all the bumbling dwarves etc…is that what’s the book’s like?
-
redartificeYeah, it’s definitely lighter in tone. The film actually seems darker than the book.
-
Ripped CurtainYeah the novel is a much lighter tone, hopefully they don’t over do the comedic element of the Dwarves, the trailer however was surprisingly serious I’m sure it was just the editing and music though.
I’m not sure which kind of film i want more a true to the novel light hearted one or a slightly darker more LOTR kind of film.

I suspect it’ll end up somewhere in between. It’ll have to be lighter than LOTR, but they’ll want to keep it close enough that there’s at least some consistency in tone across all of the movies.

JulzzAm I the only one massively excited by the fact Richard Armitage is in this film? I heard his voice and was unsure so I google it and he has a major role!!! So excited, he is an incredible actor! 🙂 🙂 🙂
