Everything I know... you will now know

I sure hope it happens it would be great. seeing what started it all

[banjordan]

Yeah, I hope so too. I liked the Hobbit.

Before I started on the LOTR books, I read the Hobbit. There's also one other prequel (before the Hobbit) that starts with an 'S' (can't remember name) but I doubt they're going to make a movie on that one.

Does Jackson plan on making films on any of Tolkiens other books, or did he say he's just doing the LOTR?

[Hakey Wake]

I already knew about this. :)

But it's still good news anyway, I wonder how his next film King Kong will turn out though....

Oh and I hope he does The Silmarillion too. :)

What the hell are the songs going to be like?!

[Gaming Master2k]

No matter how big of a LotR fan i am no way would a musical be any good. Ok so there are some songs in the book but they don't need to make a musical.

[Hakey Wake]

No! They can't make it a musical! :(

[The Jinjo Jinjo]

YES! make it a musical kill the franchise!
