The Hobbit Hole III - Journey to the Cross-roads!
Posted on 12/17/2002 7:32:02 AM PST by HairOfTheDog
Welcome to The Hobbit Hole!
Journey to the Cross-roads
The Two Towers Edition
Come on! Come in! -if you would like to have some seedcakes and a pint and relax a while. (If it is a special occasion, we still have a few bottles of the old wineyards left!)
Our first thread ( New Zealander builds Hobbit hole ) reached 4,100 posts, and we thought that was big. Our second thread (The New Hobbit Hole ) held us for over 48,000 posts, and we loved it dearly. We talked about moving to a new thread for the last 38,000 posts, but we are really slow to muster! Finally, the time has come. Tomorrow (at 12:01 am, to be precise!) The Two Towers comes out, and we start a new chapter.

Evening. I am tired and the truck still isn't unloaded.... catching a buzz in the afternoon does not make one very productive in the evening!
To: HairOfTheDog
I know what you mean.
I made the mistake of drinking those 2 glasses of wine a couple weeks back, remember? Screwed me up for 36 hours!! I was useless to everyone!

Good evening!

Here's a completely unfounded theory out of my own twisted imagination...
What if they release ROTK in two parts, each 2-2 1/2 hours long? Part 1 in December, Part 2 in March?
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
EEEKK! Don't do that to me!
Speak not that language here!

Ummmmm.... I don't think they would do that, I think that would mess up a lot of deals. These schedules are important to people I think.
To: RMDupree
I just want to take a nap.
I better go unload the truck.
To: HairOfTheDog
Unload the truck, smoke a cig and go to bed. Lucky you!

I merely speculate! :)
PJ may be unwilling to release a version of ROTK that comes in at less than 4 hours... and the studios may have a problem with that long of a running time, too.

What if they release ROTK in two parts, each 2-2 1/2 hours long? Part 1 in December, Part 2 in March? That sure will screw up Entmoot!

Yowza! There is more than enough material to support that approach (like SW Empire and Jedi) but by now the rabid fans would tear the producers limb from limb.
With 42,000 posts I havent been able to tell: any theories on what happens after ROTK? The Silmarillian? BOLT? Would take some work, but can you imagine how lush the early creation work would be?
To: Overtaxed
But we'd have reason to keep the HH going... ;)
To: Bear_in_RoseBear
Do we need a reason?
To: freedumb2003
Hi freedumb!
PJ has said he doesn't intend to work on The Hobbit or anything else Middle Earth, at least not anytime soon.
He plans on re-re-re-doing King Kong of all things!
I'm still holding out hope that he'll change his mind or that he is teasing us Tolkien fans mercilessly.

I want carbohydrates!
To: freedumb2003
I think it would be kind of cool... just as you get tired of seeing ROTK Part 1 over and over in the theater, along comes Part 2!
There is some speculation, based on suggestions from Ian McKellan, about PJ making either a theatrical release or a TV mini-series of The Hobbit. But he is apparently signed up to direct a remake of King Kong as his next immediate project.
To: RMDupree; freedumb2003
I thought Sean Astin was going to do Hobbit.
To: Overtaxed
Really? How on earth did I miss that?

Do we need a reason?Well... not for ourselves, no. But it would be something we could tell curious visitors.
