1. Bilbo's acrobatics would allow him to dodge wood-elf arrows, and his sword would cause spiders to explode when they were struck

2. Smaug's scenes would be more than half the action footage, and the rest of the story would be ignored in nfavor of burning buildings, spectacular explosions, and non-stop action

3. The dwarves would have special high-tech climbing gear to allow them to do great stunts on the Lonely Mountain

4. There would be half-clothed females wherever possible, or he'd add some characters that would be more like whatsername from Tomb Raider

5. Gandalf would be able to do some kung-fu style fighting with his staff

6. There would be some kind of sappy romance that would be out of context with the point of the story

7. Tolkien fans would demonstrate in vast numbers

Actually that sounds a bit like something PJ would do.

Don't worry, no Liv Tyler in this one, so you can quit complaining now.

23. Peter Jackson would be replaced by John Woo, and the ravens would turn white and take on religious significance

Jerry Bruckhimer's movies are all action flicks, so there would be dwarven commandos with Ak-47s or something stupid like that

Oh, those animated LotR movies are so amusing, though! They're just so bad!

Tarantino? hehe, well, then the whole movie would be in red colors! the crimson red of movie blood

The sun went down and all is dark. But I'm not afraid, because I know, in pitch black nights the stars shine brightest...

We're all afraid, Frodo. But to let that fear drive us, to destroy what hope we have, don't you see that is madness?

If The Hobbit is made by anyone other than Peter Jackson and his crew, it will suck. That's just the way it is.

There are times when I feel guilty...the question is, do I feel guilty enough to change?

I take it noone saw Armagollum then!

All Peter Jackson has to decide, is what to cut in the time that is given to him

"At last the companions turned away, and never again looking back they rode slowly homewards; and they spoke no word to one another... but each had great comfort in his friends on the long grey road."

"After all it wouldn't do, would it, to give away any details of the plot of the most-read book of the twentieth century!" - Ian McKellen

If Bruckheimer had Michael Bay direct, it would be filled with fast cuts, slow motion, tons of explosions, and the signature "helicopter flying toward/away from sunrise/sunset" shot seen in all his movies.

This thread was too good to let it sit...so for the fun of reading:

#47: Nicholas Cage would be in the film...somewhere

#48: There would have to be pirates...somewhere

Luckily, GDT and PJ ended up in control of the project, of couorse, but when we look back, it was a scary time right after LOTR when nobody could tell what was going to happen!
