Assuming the Tolkien family will allow it, (see below) what and who do you want in it?
I find it sad that there are no topics in this forum...




The Tolkien estate was supposed to get 7.5% of all film grosses.
They got less than .1%.
So they're suing for rights to the series.
They win, Hobbit film series probably won't happen.

"The Tolkien Estate filed a lawsuit against New Line on February 11, 2008, for violating Tolkien's original deal with Saul Zaentz that they would earn 7.5% of the gross from The Lord of the Rings film adaptations (or any Tolkien film for that matter). The Estate is seeking compensation of $150 million, because they were only paid $62,500 before production of the trilogy began. A court order was also filed that would allow the Tolkien Trust to terminate any rights to future films based on Tolkien's work, including The Hobbit films.[22]"

Idiot.


I'd perfer all those in the LotR Trilogy to return (the ones needed, at least), and I've not yet thought on the others.

I can't imagine having anyone besides Sir Ian McKellen playing Gandalf.
He just fit perfectly.

Yo're just not contributing anything to this conversation...
Think they'll have the same guy who did Gollum in LotR do him in The Hobbit?

Ty, I couldn't remember the name.
What about Bilbo?
I think the guy who played him in LotR might be gettin' on a little.
