Tick Tock

    Well gang it is hard to believe but " The Hobbit And Unexpected Journey " is set to open in just a little under three weeks. A lot of speculation has begun to arise concerning the plot line for this first of three movies in the trilogy that Sir Peter Jackson is brewing up for us down in Wellington. I can't help but believe that even though the movie will follow the basic framework of J. R. R. Tolkiens masterpiece " The Hobbit " , that we are in for a bunch of delightful surprises when the finished product hits the screen. From the bits and pieces of the videoblogs and various articles that I have read about he upcoming movie it is plain to see that Sir Peter is going to give us so much more than what is in the novel. Some purists will of course be aghast at the thought that the original novel will not be told in a linear process that is completely faithful to the novel, to those people i say Boo Hoo.
I for one am excited to see all the additional elements that are being added and lets face it the original novel told in the aforementioned linear/faithful fashion could hardly flesh out the needs of the planned trilogy. So relax and lets watch the first movie and try and get a feel for what we can expect in the next two movies. See you at the Cinema.
