I am so unbelievably giddy right now...

[saraste]

We were watching the news with roommie and one of the news items was.... *drummroll* That they are going to make a film, actually two, of Hobbit!!!

*insert insanely happy  fangirl activity here*

My only trouble with it is that it seems Peter Jackson won't be directing. But as long as he produces and as long as (pleasepleaseplease) Howard Shore does the music and Ian McKellen reprises his role I shall be happy. Oooh, wonder if Serkis will reprise his role too???

And no, it does not have Legolas in it... *sigh* But the whole thing will be some years in coming. It's nice, though, after DH I really had nothing to wait for all fangirlishly. Now I have. I'm almost as giddy as when I first read sometime back in -99 that they'd be doing LOTR.

YAY!!! *throws confetti all around*

I loved that book The hobbit was great.


LOTR I just couldn't get into.



I am happy you are happy!

Weird, I've always preferred Lotr to the Hobbit... Still struggling with trying to read Silmarillion. Didn't like all the parts in the movies, FOTR was the best by all accounts.

I don't know why they didn't make The Hobbit first unless they want a different actor to play Bilbo...

I think it was because LOTR had more market value or something. More people have read it than the Hobbit.
