Excuse Me While I Scream My Head Off . . .

Unless somebody's pulling legs on Facebook, PJ's going to make a trilogy of movies from The Hobbit.

Let me repeat that.

HOBBIT. TRILOGY.

Everything is beautiful! BRB, flailing for the rest of my life.

P.S.
Nightwish will be performing within an hour's drive from me later this fall. YESSSS!!!

A trilogy?? I'd heard two movies at least, but a trilogy?? Whoa. I can't decide whether to be more excited that we have that much more movie to look forward to, or freaked out that it'll take that much longer to see them all.

AHHHH!!

P.S.

Awesome! Squee on my behalf, will you?

I'm still sort of in denial that there really is a trilogy, but after consulting Google, I'm assuming it MUST be true.

I'm squeeing enough for the whole fandom right now! My brothers told me to stop shrieking--which I blissfully ignored. :D

THIS WAS THE HIGHLIGHT OF TODAY! Totally gonna see each part like 5 times LOL!

WOW i thought there would only be 2 parts, but 3?? Freaking amazing!!!!

I'm amazed at THREE movies, too, but so excited! Never can get enough Tolkien. :)

Oh I'm pretty sure it's true! Especially since it's on http://www.theonering.net!

Okay, I'm free take it as 100% certain. PARTY ON!

Do not want, tbh. Two movies is enough for The Hobbit. More than enough, actually. It's not a long book! Not a lot even happens. How are they gonna stretch it into THREE movies?! Even two movies was pushing it for me. The other LotR movies were fine, perfect even, with just one movie per book. Harry Potter DH did it because it was necessary, now people are just doing it to squeeze more money out of people. It's unnecessary. Unless they ADD things, there's not enough base material for three movies, and if they add things, we'll have words, Peter Jackson and I.

:/

I think PJ and his screenwriting team are drawing source material not only from The Hobbit itself, but also appendices and other materials Tolkien wrote. That's what I'm assuming, at least. It they stick to that, I'll be happy.

If they don't stick to that, I'm pretty sure the entire fandom will have words with PJ. If he hasn't come to know the fandom well enough to realize we will not put up with too much deviation from Tolkien's flawless vision, he's a fool. I pray he is NOT a fool. Don't want to pity him for that. :)

Let's keep our fingers crossed and the hair on our toes brushed (unless you'd rather envision yourself as an elf than a hobbit) and hope for the best! (Usually, I'm not this blindingly cheerful and optimistic, but I am now. Weird.)
