HOLY SHIT GOD DAMN NERDGASM! AHHH! I was not expecting them to release pics this soon. He looks great as bilbo. Very much a young Ian Holm. Good to see how they managed to get Gandalf looking like he did at the very start of Rings even though it's being filmed over a decade later than that lol.

LotR nerds are the worst nerds. @_@ Cool nerds only get excited about sci-fi!

EDIT:
Before I receive your D&D-type ire, I guess I should call you Tolkien nerds rather than LotR nerds, I do realize The Hobbit isn't technically LotR....... Nerds. 8D

I've just looked at the cast for the up coming hobbit movie. WTF? Legolas, Saruman and Galadriel are all in the movie? Why? They don't appear in the book so unless it's just to get Orlando -so far back in the closet he's in fucking Narnia- Bloom in the movie I can't understand why Mr Jackson would do such a thing. I was annoyed enough by his adaptation of Lord Of The Rings but put up with it because it was well made - This is unforgivable, however! I loved the Hobbit when I was young. I read it while on my summer holiday in France in 1990 and it has been a favourite memory ever since. I can just tell that this movie is going to help ruin that memory like the LOTR movies did.

Peter Jackson you should have stuck to what you were good at. Bad taste and Brain Dead were two of the best horror/comedy movies I've ever seen. Why did you have to go and get ambition?

Gandalf, Saruman, and Galadriel were involved in the meeting of the White Council to discuss the identity of the Necromancer – but Saruman and Galadriel are not mentioned in the much simpler account we get in The Hobbit. However all this is mentioned in expanded segments.

PJ is expanding on a lot of the stories told in the hobbit, hence why it's split into 2 films. One being focused on Bilbo and his journey with the dwarfs and one with Gandalf and his journey.

Legolas was the son of Thranduil, King of the Woodland Realm of Northern Mirkwood, who appears as "the Elvenking" in The Hobbit. So it's perfectly within reason as to why he shows up. In fact it makes perfect sense. Sure it's to give continuity and flow with the already made lotr trilogy. Which is why i'm fine with it.

In PJ i trust. He did after all add tons of characters to the lotr movies. This has been discussed to death and it's not like he's adding characters that don't even exist in the story.

Oh and Legolas is confirmed as just being a small cameo.

I take it all this is explained in Tolkien's sundry works that surround the main plots? It was quite ingenious of him to create middle earth as a way to escape the horror of the french trenches. I wonder if he would have written the books if it wasn't for WW1? Now it's just as well he's dead or he might have had a heart attack when he saw what Peter Jackson did with his masterpiece.

Ach, I'm talking to born again Jacksonites... Never mind me. I'll go and grumble somewhere with beer and fat chicks.

Nosir. I just love lord of the rings. I'm not a fan of PJ's other works really. Lovely Bones was meh and King Kong was only ok :P Movies are a different medium to books anyway.
