“It has been reported that the film will follow Tolkien’s book, though one character who died in the book, Thorin Oakenshield, will remain alive.”
Is there ANYTHING Peter Jackson cannot screw up?!
Sounds the Jackson really thinks he could teach JRR Tolkien a thing or two about story-telling.
He’s wrong.
Although I wish Jackson would let him die, it could be an interesting interpretation.
If told right.
And I read somewhere that the actor who plays Thorin, Richard Armitage, has said that the ending follows the book. Let’s wait until the movie is actually being shown before we start hating on it because it is leaving out something that we found essential in the book. Then, we can judge what is actually on the screen.
Not from what I've seen. His bastardization of the characters in Lord of The Rings, was intensely disgusting. Enough that I wouldn't waste my time watching ANY "Hobbit" movies.
Peter Jackson is a diseased whore.
