The Hobbit in July 2007? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Youch. That's nuts. It's a pitty, but, really, don't blame PJ too much for sueing for millions of dollars.

I think instead of bothering my head about when the Hobbit might come out, I'll ignore this thread and wait until it does come out. I'm sure I'll hear about it sometime while it's still in theaters...maybe...

Thanks, StW, for your answer.

Hi ElentariGreenleaf, I think you are right about Ian Holm, however wouldn't it be nice to see him as The Old Took, then he could have been Bilbo, Frodo and Gerontius.

A nice idea: but sadly the Old Took is dead by the time Bilbo's adventure begins.

I suppose he could play Holman Greenhand, Bilbo's gardener.

I know that William, Gil-galad had died before the War of the Ring but he still appeared in the movies, I was suggesting that Ian Holm played The Old Took as part of Bilbo's storyline in a cameo appearence, maybe I should have made myself clearer.

Films that delivered the most "smoking impressions" included The Perfect Storm, Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring -- yes, the ritual smoking in the J.R.R. Tolkien movie counted -- Wild Wild West and Saving Private Ryan.

Quote:

Anti-tobacco activists want Hollywood to reduce smoking in movies and adjust the ratings system to give R-ratings to movies with smoking.

However, there's always the option of starting with

'Bilbo Baggins was standing at his door after breakfast eating an enormous long stick of celery that reached nearly down to his woolly toes (neatly brushed)"

& ending

'Thank Goodness!' said Bilbo, laughing, & handed him the tofu.
