Other than the actual film method issues it sounds like Jackson is erring on the side of including everything. Since I much preferred The Hobbit to LotR I think the new film's going to be right up my alley.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I realise I just bought the midnight ticket and didn't check how it was being projected.
I might have to see it TWICE, then...

It sounds like PJ has all the nerdboys and -girls sewn up. I wonder if the general public will big fans?
I know the Hobbit better than LOTR, so we will see...

So, where does this movie end?

(Whitefont is the book chapter title.)

Thanks, I figured as much, but it's nice to know.

Jessica, are the Mirkwood scenes in this movie? Yeah, I need a giant spider warning.

Thanks, Jessica. I feel a lot better now. Also, just picturing this...

...made my day. He's always seemed like a good dude, and this provides evidence to that effect.

Jilli, given the chapter title, I would imagine your whitefont would be in the next movie. That would be a good focus for the 2nd movie.

Jilli, no but part 1 is not entirely Ungoliant-spawn free either.
