http://newboards.theonering.net/foru...=unread#unread I won't reiterate what is already a reiteration, but there are some interesting tid-bits, such as: Quote:

Goodness me if Smaug dies in the first what shall be left in the second?... oh capitalists! Maybe it shall be an hour when Bard and Thranduil would be plotting, another Thorin's hot-head, and thirty minutes battle scene, (like they did at Helm's Deep), and the rest devoted to crying Dwarves or Lake Towners or dying Legolas-clones.
Oh well. Whatever can we all do about it...

Hmmn. That interview is giving me a funny vibe. You know what? I think our filmmakers are really, really stuck. I bet they wish no one had ever suggested a second film.
I mean, look at this: Quote:
I see.

One thing.
Vote with your feet and don't put any more of your hard earned pounds (other currencies are available) into Mr Jackson's pocketses.

Frankly, while I agree that the "additions" in the
LOTR movie were virtually all disastrous, I think stopping at Smaug's death in H1 and then having an H2 merge the end of the Hobbit with 'bridge" material is an excellent concept--- always with the (rather dubious) priviso that PJ and friends don't botch the job as they frequently did in LOTR, perhaps del Toro can be a positive influence.
