Considering how well done Pan's Labyrinth was, this should be good.

to direct THE HOBBIT and its sequel

Uhhh ... what sequel? Bilbo returning home and living quietly for 60 years? That's how I remember the story.

Ugghh... I hope he doesn’t insert some kind of ‘subtle’ message like he did with Pan.

One Ping to rule them all. One Ping only, please.

Hey, check out PJ! He’s lost a whole lot of weight.

Shame about the hair, still.

“Pan’s Labyrinth” was an anti-Catholic, pro-communist piece of dreck. With the built-in audience, this doesn’t bode well for Tolkien.

[ecurbh]

Woohoo! It's finally official!

Ring Ping!!

[PLMerite]

Good thing Peter lost all that weight or you wouldn’t be able to tell them apart. Until one of them spoke, that is.

As far as action in the “sequel”, a lot went on that didn't make the book except in passing.

The “Necromancer” was driven out of Myrkwood and found to be Sauron reborn. Gollum was tracked down, interrogated and escaped from both the Enemy and Galdalf and Aragorn. The Nine rode forth once more from Mordor and Osgiliath was overrun.

I’m having nightmares about giant spiders already...
