Hobbit = three films

[huinare]

So the 'okay so we might make three films instead' bruhaha has culminated in Peter Jackson's facebook note confirming this is the case.

Too sleepy to have opinion at present time.  Now is a good time for people with opinions to move in and attack.

I'm somewhere in-between "whoooo more Tolkien stuff!!!!1" and ..."whoa, they're really milking this franchise for all it's worth huh?" and also "well, if you wanted to make that many films you could just as well have started on some Sil stories already! It's the Hobbit! The one Tolkien story that doesn't have much of a story to it in comparison!"...so...yeah. But I'll let my fangirl glee triumph for now. xD

Yes, that about sums it up.

I'm not sure what I'd think of filming Sil stories. Part of me would be giddy, but part of me would worry that the movies would just eclipse the books, and then we'd have a ton of people going around fangirling movie version of characters they never bothered to read about. (Cause I mean, who reads the Sil besides cool people on the internet? I have met -one- person IRL who has..)
