The Hobbit The Hobbit THE HOBBIT

Good to see the years have done nothing to dampen Richard Taylor's charisma. His presence burns through the screen and leaves me a quivering mess.
 
OFFICIAL QUESTION #1
VALERIA KEMENTARI asked, "Are we going to see the White Council attacking Dol Guldor?"

This was quite a popular topic, with JOHN LIDDLE, TOBY PHILLIPS and SETH DONALD, along with many others, asking variations of this same question.

I'm not going to say just what and when, but I will confirm that both the White Council and Dol Guldur will feature in the movies. And not just in one scene either. Just how to visualise it has been a challenge, but fortunately Alan Lee and John Howe went crazy with ideas, and it should look pretty cool.

In fact to celebrate the start of these 20 questions, I'll show you an exclusive photo of the White Council planning the attack on Dol Guldur! Even if you don't want to be hit with spoilers, you should still take a look. For the first image of Gandalf, Elrond and Galadriel brandishing an array of fearsome Elvish weapons: http://www.thehobbitblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/whitecouncil.jpg

Yes.
 
Could someone ask him if he's going to keep attercop in and I'm not "trolling" or being a "cynical fanboy" when I say that's more important than Dol Guldor!
 
BOOP BOOP Watson will steal Sherlock's gold:

EXCLUSIVE: After reporting today that Luke Evans will play Bard in the Peter Jackson-directed The Hobbit and wondering who'll voice the dragon Smaug, Deadline can now tell you that it will be Benedict Cumberbatch. He'll portray Smaug via motion capture. He is already on the picture, providing the voice of the character Necromancer. This comes as Cumberbatch is getting buzz for his supporting performances in the Steven Spielberg-directed War Horse. And Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, in which he stars opposite Gary Oldman, Tom Hardy and Colin Firth. After drawing raves for his performance in Danny Boyle's stage production of Frankenstein, Cumberbatch was just set to star in the five-part miniseries Parade’s End. Cumberbatch continues his role as Sherlock Holmes on the BBC/PBS series, which just won the BAFTA for Best Drama. He is represented by UTA and Conway Van Gelder.[/url]

AND he's the Necromancer!

Shame about Leonard Nimoy!
 
He will be a good Smaug (still don't really see the point of the Necromancer stuff but let's not go over all that again.)
 
sl-LOST.com » Blog Archive » Evangeline Lilly Joins THE HOBBIT!

Evangeline Lilly will be playing a new character—the Woodland Elf, Tauriel. Her name means ‘daughter of Mirkwood’ and, beyond that, we must leave you guessing! (No, there is no romantic connection to Legolas.) What is not a secret is how talented and compelling an actress Evangeline is; we are thrilled and excited she will be the one to bring our first true Sylvan Elf to life.

KAAAAAAAAAATE!!!!!!11111
 
I hope she's not all constant wise-cracking and "move over MEN, this needs a WOMAN'S TOUCH!" saving the male elves all the time and STUFF. (She's hot and elf-like, she'll be good.)
 
I thoroughly approve of this thread and will be re-reading The Hobbit over the next few weeks so I can take odd and unusual opinions. The reactions to these opinions will be:

Tomtrek: Well, I think you have a valid point but I will pick out some inaccuracies and inconsistencies in your approach. I will do this in a friendly manner, but you will end up feeling inferior. (luckily, I will end all of my opinions with a picture of some elfish pale breasts, which will confuse him. This tactic will work to such good effect that he will agree with me that Roy Schneider would have made a better Thranduil)

Eggs: SQUEEEEEEEEE

Fuddlemiff: THAT REMINDS ME OF THE PAT BUTCHER ANIMAL GIF

Wacky: HOW DARE YOU?!@?!?? I will be ironically rude to you with lots of shouting, whilst thoroughly enjoying the exchange. Occasionally I will blame you for making me think impure thoughts about the text. (Also, highly susceptible to the pale breasts image)

Cassie: YOU KNOW NOTHING MONKEY BOY

Curious will just be nice and civil with me...

You've literally just cracked my entire posting style.
