About the Hobbit
Glamdring

As somebody has said before, it's obvious that Ian Holm will have to look youger if he plays Bilbo if PJ makes The Hobbit and that will be tough for him. I am pretty sure if they do that movie that Bilbo will be young. Just thnik about how they made Frodo younger in LOTR (he is supposed to be near fifty). And even more, an adventure movie featuring a hero who isn't at least still a little bit young would be difficult to swallow for many viewers who didn't read the book. Anyway if they do The Hobbit, it must absolutely be produced by PJ : it wouldn't look as the same good ol' Middle Earth in any other case. However, I don't think that it is such a good idea to do it but, anyway, if PJ doesn't make it, then some other commercial bullshit superaction superproducer would litterally destroy The Hobbit instead because there is a lot of cash to be made with such a prequel. So anyway I hope it'll be PJ and that he won't destroy the story too much. If it is done, of course.
