Ah, I see that the role of Dain Ironfoot has at last been cast – he’s to be played by Billy Connolly. Should be good in the part, I imagine.

So, it’s not to be Brian Blessed after all!

I wonder how it will fit into the story…. like a flash from the past…. incorporated into the vision of the future …. in 3019 in the Third Age, when he was killed…. maybe somebody will play Thorin III Stonehelm… ( Russel Crowe…. ) 😆

I think Esgaroth scenes appear in the second part of the movie: December 2013 :rolleyes:

Thanks for the link erch! I for one can’t wait for the movies. Yes, yes, I know they aren’t entirely true to the books. But they are very entertaining and done extremely well. Also, I read the Hobbitt and LOTR every year or so, so I have no problem distinguishing the movies from the books. Afterall, they are not meant to replace the books, or even to really be compared to them–the are just meant as someone’s (PJ) interpretation of a great work.

Some interesting comments on the ‘feel’ of the movie – the way ahead, or back? . I hope the link will work for everyone.

Hmmm. Well, it pays to wait until you can form your own opinion rather than depending too much on what other people think, but there do seem to be enough criticisms here to warrant grounds for concern. When early material for the first LOTR film was shown under similar circumstances fans raised serious objections to the portrayal of Arwen – fighting at Helm’s Deep! (Eru alone knows how that was supposed to have come about…), and the scenes were subsequently dropped, but it’s unlikely that all the material shot thus far for the Hobbit could be shot again, so the situation this time isn’t as easy to rectify…

All we can do is wait and see.

won’t spoil things here but I admit I am a bit perplex with some “freedom” they took, most of all during the white council sequence…

I’m a bit worried about Radagast on a sled pulled by Wabbits :lol:!

I won’t watch anything with spoilers. I never see the point in that sort of thing.

Thanks for those Dave. By the by, I don’t read the spoiler parts either.
