Extended edition coming in November. I'm more interested in the supplemental material than the extra scenes, to be honest. Hopefully we get more on that soon.

Hopefully it's not an extended scene fleeing the goblin king. That was WAY too long already.

I'll still probably pick up just to eventually have the complete series.

Funny how I think the LOTR extended editions are the "real" versions, yet I have no interest in the hobbit versions.

They did manage to make ONE book into THREE movies, so what could they have left out?!

Well for one thing, the Battle of Five Armies was maybe two pages long in the book. That'll take up at least 2 hours on screen.

but that isn't in the extended version of the first installment. I'm not sure what they need to add to the first film? I know, the storm giants would have been good for the extended version.

everyone seems like an a-hole, except for Bilbo and one of the dwarves.

Guess it's the price of preemie twins at home - I saw each of the LOTR's on opening day, and I still haven't seen the Hobbit.

Thorin kind of was an a-hole in the book, as was the king of the wood elves.

Voice of Smaug is nails.

I will see these movies and I'm sure they will be spectacular. I may even love them.

However, I think Jackson is just writing fan fiction at this point and putting it on screen. There is so much fabricated material making its way into these movies, based on that new trailer, that it will be hard to enjoy them on a rewatch. Still haven't rewatched the first movie.

This. I'm excited to see so many things from the book make it to the big screen: Smaug, Erebor, Beorn, etc. But Peter Jackson has absolutely destroyed the story. Somewhere, J.R.R. Tolkien is weeping in his grave.

Jackson did a fantastic job adapting the LOTR trilogy to the movies; I'm really disappointed that he's pimping the Hobbit to Hollywood.

Have to admit, I'm a LOT more pumped for this movie after this new trailer.

I know PJ gets a lot of criticism around here for his so-called "fan fiction", but personally I love that they seem to be going for a tone closer to LOTR with this trilogy. This looks like it could be this trilogy's Two Towers.

Little more "out there" than I expected Beorn to look in human form, but still not too bad.

in other news, this trilogy is more than double the cost (and counting) of the LOTR triology. and frankly, so far, half as good. not exactly bang for your buck.

and the HFR is basically dead in the water.

They broke even with the first film. I don't think anyone's worried.

They made a billion on the Hobbit. Pretty sure they will be ok.

If I remember correctly, thats actually Bard, not Beorn. In the trailer, that is.
sharkenleo

Not sure what you're referring to. The picture posted above is Beorn. Bard is the dude that looks like Orlando Bloom in pirates.

I've been confused by the Orlando Bloom look-a-like.

New look at Beorn. A little too Teen Wolf for me.
