    I imagine it will be based on Tolkien source material.

    good point, I am sure his Son has all the notes and such.. now, if they REALLY had stones, they'd take on the Silmarillion

    I love Del Toro's work. He'll do justice to the story.

    Del Toro, outside of Peter Jackson, is the only director with enough imagination to make this work. I absolutely love his work, Pan's Labyrinth was a masterpiece. Should be exciting to see what he does.

    THE WORLD'S first 14567 hour movie. I like it. Of course they would have to charge $10,000 a ticket just so they could break even at the box office

    We have to wait another 4 years for the Hobbit? That was my favourite story when I was 10. It's about time!

    Getting Viggo, Ian McKellen and Andy Serkis is the only way this works IMO.

    Viggo IS Aragorn (Stryder) as McCellen IS Gandalf and Serkis IS Gollum. I'm so excited about this.

    Great idea! It should only take about 40 movies to get that across! LOL!

    Del Torro better not screw it up! LOTR's were a work of art, LOVE those movies... They are an experience, not just movies.

    I heard a rumor the other day that had David Tennant as Bilbo. I like Tennant a lot, but that one was hard to wrap my brain around.

    Seriously, though, as someone who watched the original "Hobbit" cartoon and finished the Silmarilion, I'm anticipating this film as well.
