HOB - Chapters into Scenes Weekly - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

Sauron the White · 12-21-2007, 02:34 PM

Would anyone here be up for doing a weekly chapter by chapter discussion of THE HOBBIT gearing it to how that can be filmed into scenes for the upcoming movie? We would take one chapter per week, discuss how we would like to see it filmed - or what should not be filmed - or what could be added - or anything you desire in the way of turning that chapter into a movie.

If we get enough interest we could start soon. Post here if interested.

I think that would be fun, I would be interested. I was planning on re-reading The Hobbit anyway. Would this be put in its own sub-forum like the Chapter by Chapter area in the books section? If so we could call it something like this:

From Book to Movie
Join us for chapter-by-chapter discussions on how the chapters from The Hobbit could be turned into scenes in the film.

It certainly could be if there was enough interest and the mods set it up that way. Glad to see you are on board Nazgul-king.

I would also be interested in this. Sure, a lot of interest in the movie sequence by sequence died out, but that may simply have been because it went on so long.

I'd like to participate in this, if it gets started. Veterans of the REB RP in the Gondor forum will know that it would be a bad idea for me to take the reins, so to speak, since I tend to disappear for extended periods...the call of real life is somewhat maddening, but must be endured. I'll look forward to it!

I would be very interested in this. I've actually been considering writing a script myself, for the jolly fun of it.

I'll look back in as things progress.

Folwren · 01-08-2008, 03:45 PM

Shall we discuss the next scene? Gandalf walking up to the door, or what? StW?

Sauron the White · 01-08-2008, 05:54 PM

Folwren ... I am at a loss with just how to proceed. Asking for advice from you and anyone so inclined. Do we need to reach any kind of agreement or is the sole point discussion.

-----------------------------------

and what about the idea of Gandalf first approaching the door and putting the sign upon it .... then going to Bilbo in the next scene.

Folwren · 01-09-2008, 08:59 AM

I don't think we need to expect to come to any sort of agreement about the prologue. We will probably need to agree somewhat on the following scenes, because depending on how one scene ends is will dictate how another scene begins...sometimes.

And as for the meeting of Gandalf and Bilbo, I think we need to have the whole "What do you mean, good morning?" discussion. The hobbit would scarcely be complete, much less begun, without that.

So, I believe what you should say now is, "What comes after the prologue and before the first dwarf arrives?" And if that is quickly decided, we can go on...

"What comes after the prologue and before the first dwarf arrives?"

Let us discuss.

Folwren · 01-09-2008, 09:27 AM

Excellent. I'll be here much later in the afternoon to discuss my thoughts.
