    “For over two decades, moviegoers have embraced the ‘Lord of the Rings’ film trilogy because of the undeniable devotion Peter, Fran and Philippa have shown…”

    I thought this … until I saw The Hobbit. Their devotion was clearly waning at that point.

    Heard the actors were less than impressed as well.

      Del Toro was the director and Jackson stepped in last minute to savage.

      EDIT: Salvage

        Yeah, I wouldn’t blame Peter Jackson for that one. Although still not hopeful for a Gollum focused movie. Would have much preferred something outside of the known characters.

          Oh yeah I’m not particularly excited. But Peter Jackson * Time = Great usually.
