Imagining The Hobbit

A kick-ass article with lots of cool speculation on how PJ may adapt the tale.

Sir Ian says during the film's development has been forthcoming with Jackson and his co-writers Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens. For one, he felt that the relationship between Gandalf and Bilbo needed a little history.

He suggested a scene showing the wizard being introduced to a baby Bilbo and his mother Belladonna Took and it was shot. He's not sure if the scene will make the final cut of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, but his suggestion was taken seriously.

''We see Gandalf observing this little boy who's full of beans and full of adventure. And I let him play with [a] toy dragon that I've got.

''And when he's thinking, 'Who should we get? Oh, there's that little boy'. And he goes back to Hobbiton to meet this little boy who's now grown up and is a real stodgy, dull, settled, unadventurous person. And he's so disappointed. 'What happened to you? Come on! You've got to go on an adventure, it'll be good for you. Get back your childish enthusiasm!'''

A Dinner Fit for Bag End!

Last night I went to Dennys with my boys and my parents. The Hobbit menu was fantastic! I had the "Shire Sausage Skillet" and we ordered the "Radagast's Red Velvet Pancake Puppies....amazing!

I highly recommend a trip for all Ringers. They give you some exclusive trading cards with each Hobbit entree. Nothing fancy or new, but the kids loved them.

Lewis on the Hobbit

As C. S. Lewis, author of The Chronicles of Narnia and a friend of Tolkien, wrote a couple of years after The Hobbit was first published, it:

"must be understood that this is a children's book only in the sense that the first of many readings can be undertaken in the nursery. Alice [in Wonderland] is read gravely by children and with laughter by adults; The Hobbit on the other hand will be funniest to its youngest readers, and only years later, at the tenth or a twentieth reading, will they begin to realize what a deft scholarship and profound reflection have gone to make everything in it so ripe, so friendly, and in its own way so true."

"Prediction is dangerous," Lewis concluded all those years ago," but The Hobbit may well prove to be a classic."
