What's up at Bag End??????

I can't find any information on this.....so I will ask here.

Does anyone know what is the scoop on "The Hobbit"?

I assume you are referring to the (hopefully) upcoming movie? It seemed a bit uncertain a while ago, but I just checked on IMDB.com and it looks like The Hobbit Part 1 is set for a 2011 release, and The Hobbit Part 2 in 2012! Also looks like good ol' Peter Jackson is involved in the screenplay! Yay!!!

Yeah I haven't heard much about the Hobbit movie! I just know it will eventually come out! ...I think! lol. Matt has some facts though! YAY!

*grumble, grumble* Jackson had better deliver considering how much time he is giving himself!

Haha don't worry! He will make it awesome!

I hope so. I still can't believe we have a whole year to wait! Lol, did anyone here hear of how for LOTR, Jackson had the mugs HAND-CARVED! That's why his movies are so good....and so expensive! He has an eye for the details.

I can't wait for the movie either! (the new director had better be as good as Jackson lol)
Hand-Carved?? Shows how much he wanted an authentic atmosphere for the movie! It definitely showed throughout the movies!

wow, do ypou now when they promise to release it?

Jeez hand-carved?? That's awesome! I don't know if they've provided a release date yet.. if anyone would know it would be Matt lol! He's got all of the wisdom in that area! Haha

haha, my thanks, Brendon! ...except I'd be foolish to state I am the source of this wisdom, for I wish to remain wise! lol
Apart from the 2011 and 2012 release dates for the first and second parts of the hobbit, there's no official date set. Apparently, a script has just been written and is awaiting the green light to start production. I read this information on imdb.com, so I imagine they will continue to have more updates in the coming months.

Keep me posted! And I wonder what Jackson will focus on detail-wise, for the Hobbit.....food for thought

Hopefully it will still feel like a part of the other LOTR movies!

Yeah it would seem outa wack if he made it seem apart. Though the Hobbit does seem to encourage that. Elrond is the only guy who seems the same in both LOTR and the Hobbit

Yeah I suppose you're right! That makes sense. I know the movie will be ok! The book was really good

Cool! The Hobbit!!!! Peter Jackson should make it awesome like he did for LOTR.

The book of The Hobbit was brilliant. He will have to work hard!

Did you go to New Zealand? Where he filmed the LOTR movies?

I went to New Zealand last year and I saw all the places that LOTR was filmed (well most of the places). I got to go to The Hill of Hobbiton and saw all the Hobbit-holes. Inside there is nothing, except with Bilbo's house it has a very small room. The things filmed that was inside Bilbo's Hobbit-hole was done in a completely different place (I think they did that in Wellington).The place that had the Hobbit-holes was somewhere near Christchurch or something.

I also saw the shallow river that when Arwen had Frodo on her horse with her and the was Nazgul chasing them.
We had a book that said all the places where LOTR was filmed so we actually saw most places.
We didn't see Mordor (I think that was probably made on the computer with effects and stuff).

That's awesome! I've always wanted to go to New Zealand, sounds like an awesome place.

Yeah it is.
When I went there we went on a helicopter and flew to the top of one of the mountains and had snow-ball fights!. It was so much fun!!

Wow! That must have been really cool!

Yeah
