I can see it now…

“The Hobbit wins its 12th oscar tonight, and is the best picture of the year.”

Can’t wait to see this.

In reply to obi-wan kubrick. Yes, but the Hellboy movies are comic book films, way different then the Hobbits type of story telling, which is more on par with Pan’s Labyrinth. Check out his earlier works as well, The Devil's Backbone, an amazing movie, and Mimic to name a couple. The man is a extremely versatile director and writer. And he's proven more then once he knows how to tell a good story, coupled with amazing visuals. But, I'm also a fan of everyone of his films. >_<

I am on the fence because I liked Pan’s Labyrinth but I really disliked both Hellyboy movies.

In reply to Oliver. So the big question has just become will they make a third movie?! 2 for the book and one for the bridge? Oh my that would be some sweet fix!

for me this is great news, and very important for continuity, especially in the case of Gandalf.

In reply to chembull. It's partially because first is not a comment. It has no value. It is simply a declaration made to appear like they have won some sort of race. For people at themovieblog. Which has always been a sort of community, it is annoying to have people who are not about the contribution to the group.

In reply to melbye. Can we agree that Ian Holm is a little too old to reprise Bilbo?

That’s is ‘Am I the…’

Where’s the edit option here?

I’m I the only one who thinks ‘Hello, Mr. Anderson’ whenever I see Hugo Weaving?

Great, and quite expected, news given Jackson’s track record with these actors.

Thankfully the idea of a bridging movie between the Hobbit and LOTR has been dropped and both movies will stick to the Hobbit.
