Whose waiting for The Hobbit?

So there's the qusetion, whose waiting for The Hobbit?

I've lost count of the amount of times i've watched The Lord of the Rings films that my wife slaps me when I quote them (sad I know). But with the cast thats there, even if your not a fan it must be worth a watch.

I'm definately going gold class to see this one :dance:

Couple of threads got TH going on in this forum already - particularly this one

But yeah - really looking forward to it, though not so convinced with the 3 picture deal it's now generated into. LotR of course was published in a 3 (double) book format so never had any quibbles with that and, like you I watch the buggers frequently but have read the books a lot more (I've lost count but it's in the high double figures if not triple ).

I'm hoping that they've done a good background research job with the 'untold' stories behind Gandalf's excursion to Dol Guldur and with the pre-Hobbit events with Thorin's father and with the other Dwarvish storyline with Dain in the Iron Hills - potentially there's enough for 3 films even though the main part was in a fairly thin (for Tolkien) tome if they try to stay within the story arcs in canon, but it's pretty much a grubbing around fest in the Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales or some of the volumes from Christopher Tolkien's History of Middle Earth to assemble a decent screenplay to fill 3 movies. But the Jacksons have a good track record mostly so yeah - I have high hopes for it
