Here's what I'd like to
see in the upcoming Hobbit movie,
to be directed by Guillermo del Toro

1.} If the producers go for a "younger Gandalf,"
Hugh Laurie or Michael Sheen play Gandalf

2.} Smaug to be voiced by Sir Christopher Lee

3.} Sir Ian Holm to narrate

4.} Ron Perlman AND Doug Jones in the movie

What say you?

The hobbit is the story of the Hobbit that finds the treasure guarded by the dragon, isn´t it? I would like to see sword battles, Ian McKellen as Gandalf, epic battles, beautful scenery.

Giant robots from the future.

Guillermo del Torro would probably do it justice, but he'd be constrained by the material, I think. It's not weird enough.

I wasn't keen on LotR in either book or film form, but I thought the Hobbit was rather a good book.

Gandalf was incarnated by Eru-Illuvatar as an ancient man. A young Gandalf is not possible.

That's not to say they will stick to that, sadly. Most movies like to ruin things in small, generally unnoticable ways.

Long eared elven girls with little to no clothes on speaking sindarin...

Ok, so i'm a sad lonely guy Besides, i dont think it will surpass LOTR in any way and its just another way to milk out the last of tolkiens legacy. There is much more potential in Silmarillion, that is the parts that make sense.

Agree with the first point...

And the second. You're right about the Silmarillion, if i remember correctly it wasn't complete anyway, it was just thrown together with what Tolkien had finished. If anyone else had wrote it it probably would have been thrown in the bin as an incomplete mess.

I was pretty impressed with the interpretation they gave to LOTR. The purists may argue a lot about all the missing bits and pieces but what mattered to me was the amazing way they captured the spirit of the book. From the moment Gandalf rode into Hobbiton my mind rode into the story and was totally immersed. That almost never happens to me.

So, if they can do that for the Hobbit, I would not give a rat's ass about who the actual actors are.

I do agree that there is a lot of wonderful epic material to be gleaned from the Silmarillion. And in fact also from the books Lost Tales, and Unfinished Tales.
I think they might start with the lay of Leithian and the Narn I hin Hurin.

The trolls they ran into and was left out of the first LOTR movies.
