Judging from some of his other work, a lot darker and with more edge. But given the amount of money that was pumped into this, he'd of never of been given the job. Jackson made a 'user friendly' Rings that didn't frighten off the children. You've got to hit all the demographics to be a blockbuster!\nMe, I think Rings is terribly over-rated. I think I would of preferred the Burton verson..

None really.  The whole series kind of sucked.\n\nThe Hobbit was the best of all of them, but that's just b/c the name 'Bilbo Baggins' is fun to say.

It was an absolutely fantastic adaptation and a true cinematic achievement. I was riveted by the movies - it was amazing how they created Middle Earth almost as I would have imagined. I just felt my jaw drop when I saw Helm's Deep and Minas Tirith. An amazing triology of films!

definitely sauron.  if the ring got in either voldemort or darth vader's hands then he could control the crap out of them.  they would be his puppets.  that is such evilness right there.  i would hate to be his wife.  i'm sure she wouldn't be any better.

Family Dog.\n\nIt was produced by Tim Burton and created by Brad Bird (Incredibles).  It was first part of "Amazing Stories" and then became a short lived series.

I would cast Liam Neesan as Lan, maybe Haydon Christianson as Rand, ( he is tall and has the redish hair and blue eyes)even if he is well known as anakin, Perrin would have to be a nobody, because I can't think of a young actor to fit the part (huge). Orlando Bloom could pull off Mat if he could laugh as well as he could brood, he has the look (dark hair and dark eyes, handsome). Moiraine would have to be someone classy and small. Keira Knightly would make a great Nynaeve. Natalie Portman fits Egwene perfectly, put casting her with Haydon would be a mistake, even if they aren't love interests in the long run. Though, come to think of it, they are rarely even togetehr after the first couple books, it may work, especially after he gathers his 'enterauge'. When I think of Thom I think of someone old and smart and spry, and once handsome, it's a hard part to cast, it's easier to cast the rest of the series, especially the bad guys. ( I especially like Johnny Depp as Asmodean)

Your description kind of reminds me of "They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard," but only slightly.  Either you don't remember it well, or I'm totally wrong.  Either way, here is a link to that: http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/hobbits\n\nI hope that's what you're looking for.  If not, sorry.

Peter JAckson said that he didn't want to do the Hobbit. So unless someone else takes up the challenge, no there won't be a movie called "The Hobbit"\n\nEventually thoough its bound to be made, just not by Peter Jackson

I pictured Ian Holm, who played Bilbo Baggins in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. \nWell I was close since they chose Ian McKellen who was in LOTR as well.

Lord of the Rings is one of J.R.R Tolkin's stories about a fantasy land named Middle East with lots of races, Humans, Elves(Tolkin Elves are tall, beautiful and very fairy), Dwarves, Ents, Orcs and Hobbits.\nThis is the story of Dark Lord Sauron who forged lots of magical rings with a group of elves for all the races consist of human, elves and dwarves and a special one for himself which he put some of his corrupted magical power in it.\nSauron was defeated many years ago but his ring wasn't devastated so he didn't vanished. His ring can only be destroyed in the fire where it forged, mount doom in the middle of Sauron land.\nRing took a very strange trip and 2000 years later found by a Hobbit(a race which was created by author of books).\nIn the meantime Sauron became strong again(he was from a heavenly race who lives forever) and came back to his old land. He started a search for the ring by his heinous troops.\nAt the same time a wizard known as Gandalf found that ring  hobbit found is the one ring. A council of high elves, wizards, men and dwarves decided to send the ring to mount Doom to destroy it while all Sauron army started a massive invade to mens land. They selected Frodo the Hobbit to do this mission.\nThis is where the story begins. Story contains lots of beautiful points about power and corruption , good and bad ,trust and betray and nature and love.\nMovies are great, just watch them.\nAlso books are a classic masterpiece with lots of poems and more which wasn't at the movies.

The highest level of detail in a release I have seen thus far is in the Special Edition versions of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.  Almost every aspect of the film creation process has been captured or touched on, numerous voice over tracks, outstanding video and audio presentation.  Overall, the best job of producing a DVD that I have seen.

I'm pretty sure that Peter Jackson is going to be making a version of 'The Hobbit' fairly soon, if he hasn't started already.\n\nHmmm... according to imdb.com, it's due to be released 2009. There's no specific info on it just yet, though...

IT WAS GREAT!!!  IF YOU LIKED THE MOVIES, YOU WILL LOVE THE BOOKS.  START WITH "THE HOBBIT" THEN READ THE TRILOGY.
