i have heard rumors of an up coming movie adaption of the hobbit being filmed in new zeland and also a ....sort of filler that covers the 40-50 years between the hobbit and the lotr so ....with all the hype from the last films what does anyone think of this....it seems a lot harder sell for the hobbit as it is a fairly light hearted book compared to lotr....so might have some problems ....and the fill in movie ...well it's rather open ended as there is no book to adapt....but has good possibilities as the book left lots of room to work with....
