How about a Hobbit movie?

imzadi76 · **Tue Feb 17, 2004 2:33 pm How about a Hobbit movie?**

I was wondering if anyone else out there is hoping they make a live-action movie based on the Hobbit.

They definitely need to make one - the cartoon version that's out now is sooooooo dated with the folk music that it actually hurts to watch it. Very 70's of them.

Imagine how well they could portray Smaug with CGI! I get goosebumps thinking about it.

For me I nevered watch the show. So my answer is no for this.

Yes, I would. Simply because there are so many Dwarves!

Dwarves own!

HAHA! Jason Alexander SHOULD be Bilbo. That guy is so nuts its funny. But he's bald, lol.

Ian mckellen was on Tv in the UK and said he would love to do it and so does peter jackson , but new line don't have the rights to it, so he said we'll need to wait and see what happens after all the legal stuff is sorted out

Based on the success of LOTR I think it highly likely a film based on The Hobbit will crop up sooner or later. Preferably sooner, but who knows?

Speaking of Jason Alexander- can anybody name the Voyager episode he was in?

Hmm, I think it was either Juggernaut or Think Tank.

Captain Dappet · **Sat Feb 21, 2004 7:21 pm**

It's "Think Tank".

The Delta Flyer · **Sat Feb 21, 2004 7:31 pm**

OOOO which character is he?

Valathous · **Sun Feb 22, 2004 12:09 am**

"Think Tank."

He's the humanoid that tries to get 7 to join them, then he tries to steal her and destroy Voyager by sending some other aliens after them.

Captain Dappet · **Sun Feb 22, 2004 10:59 am**

Yup. Kerros I think his name was...

even though it would be great to see a live action version of "The Hobbit" done, I don't think It's going to happen.

Jackson was ok'ed to do 3 movies "The Lord of The Rings" Trilogy, Tolkein's children who have full control of the rights to make it a movie said only 3.

Beside's "The Hobbit" was a bedtime story Tolkein wrote for his kids as they grew up. It's deeply personal to them, and I think they don't want it seen done in the way LoTR was done.

MAJOR sections of LoTR were taken out, just to put in more battle sequences and CGI effects.

I don't know if it'll happen or not, but i'll sure like to see it.
Does 'The Hobbit' take place before the whole LoTR story?

Link, the Hero of Time · **Sun Feb 22, 2004 7:14 pm**

yes, it takes place years before Frodo comes into possession of the ring.

I really do hope that they make a Hobbit movie. I am crossing my fingers.

Sonic74205 · **Fri Apr 02, 2004 9:38 am**

yeah that would be good

it seemed like the three films just came and went so fast!
there should be more so i vote yes

i had never heard of any thing LOTR wise before the movies came out.
but i think a movie on the hobbit would be cool

NIKKI13 · **Sun Apr 11, 2004 12:33 am**

i guess it all depends on what the storyline is and how its 'done', it could turn out a real yawner, but it also has potential. as gandalf would say... "hobbits really are amazing(or is it surprising?) creatures"

Paul Marshall · **Sun Apr 11, 2004 12:38 am**

He said "amazing."
