Am I the only one still in disbelief that this is actually happening AND being directed by PJ? I mean, I'm listening to the FotR soundtrack right now and every so often it will cross my mind "Whoa, there'll be new music and everything and...... :swoon:" I guess I can't believe that after all the years of petitions and lawsuits and everything, it's actually started.

I'm just over the moon about it :) I mean, he SO deserves this, and the fans deserve it, and the movie deserves it, because he's the only one who can do it justice in a way that also makes fans of the trilogy satisfied.

That's really cool! I had not heard that! Does anyone know when it is supposed to come out, though?

I'm pretty happy PJ is directing it also, if he hadn't I was worried it wouldn't be enough like the first three.

November of 2012... well, I guess I am in for a wait. lol

I guess I had heard they were making it into two movies but didn't remember that... Where are they splitting it? At least the second will only be a year after instead of two years like most movies are.

I am too! I was just thinking the same about the music the other day. It just kind of hit me that, oh my god - there is going to be NEW music for this whole world that Peter and Howard and everybody gave life to. That just boggles my mind a little, and yet I think I'm more excited for the soundtracks than anything else right now. Is that weird? Yes it is.

YESSSSSSS! It's happening! :kick:

And then of course I thought, "Wait, isn't the world ending in 2012?!" ;) The world can end after I've seen these movies. :lol:

No, the plan is for all of us A-Uers to go to New Zealand BEFORE the world ends! Kit and Nies and I have decreed it :-P

Wow, if the world is ending I'm going to be busy before 2012.

Marry Jeff Fahey
Have an affair with Mark Strong
Have another affair with Jason Isaacs
Visit Washington and throw polar bear poo at Sarah Palin
Go to Gettysburg
See New York and hijack a tannoy system in Times Square and sing "New York, New York"
Knock on Monty's door at 4am
Go to San Franciso and wear flowers in my hair
Drive along Route 66 listening to "Take It Easy"
Go the Hobbit premier in NZ and run off with, in no particular order; Ian McKellen, Howard Shore, Richard Armitage and Richard Taylor
Go back to Disneyland Paris and watch as the world ends with all of the above males in tow

Slightly off topic, but I thought I share my thoughts on the worlds ending. :p

Haha, yes... the end of the world will just have to wait I guess. lol Arweb, that's a good decree, I'll go for that!

I don't think it's silly to be excited about the music. The sound tracks are always really really good! I love the LOTR music. I even like the music from the LOTR games... O_o I am curious to see if the Hobit will impact the LOTR online game as well. *shrugs*
