ChaosTheory posted:I'm not saying this will look fake, I just hope it doesn't. I may be old-fashioned, but I like 24 fps just the way it is. I felt the same way as you before I actually saw how awesome it looks. And clips I've seen weren't from a fully developed pro level camera. It's going to look great, have no doubts about it.

Nuggan posted:Hobbits live 80-100 years or so. Its mortals that are in Valinor who can choose to die when they want. Also, Aragorn because of his special bloodline. I'm pretty sure hobbits live a fair bit longer than humans, but that this was changed somewhat in the movies. Wasn't Frodo like 30 and considered a teenager?

It might've been, who knows, but all that's saying is that this arrow has been in his family for a while, like a token of luck or something. Everything about that qoute implies it's magical... It's not explictly stated though.

Wendell posted:Yeah, that is weak. You'd think Peter Jackson would have free reign to say, "No, go away," to any meddlers, but I guess not. It's not meddling. They did the same thing with LOTR and it wasn't untill half-way into shooting the scenes of Arwen fighting at Helms Deep they decided it probably wasn't a very good idea and toned the love story down a little. I mind it's all Philippa Boyens' fault though.

Mr. Gibbycrumbles posted:No new trailer but there will be footage. The "reel" will be shown in 2D and at 24fps, as a reaction to the negative comments on 48fps from the CinemaCon presentation. Cool, thanks. I wonder how much of this choice was really PJs and how much was the studio wanting to avoid the backlash? He seemed to be 100% dedicated to 48fps up untill now.

Ironza posted:I imagined this would be the case when I originally heard they would filming in 48fps as well as the industry standard. It was very loudly publicized after the previously mentioned backlash, that it will be released in both 24 and 48 fps version, in both 2D and 3D. And I'm pretty sure it's only filmed at 48fps, though I don't know what they'll do about the lack of motion blur when it's converted to 24fps.

Vigilance posted:I'm not sure I like how the trolls look just like the ones in lord of the rings. Presumably, unless PJ deviated from the book completely, the scene with the trolls talking will be in the movie. The trolls in LOTOR grunt and act very animalistic, whereas the trolls in The Hobbit are supposed to be at least somewhat intelligent rather than basically mindless beasts. Also they are supposed to be a different kind of troll than the ones in LOTOR, but that's just me being a sperg. I think the main thing for me is it will seem a bit strange how dumb the trolls in LOTOR seem after seeing talking ones in the Hobbit, and potentially jarring to a viewer unaquainted with the books. They showed the petrified trolls in FOTR, so they can't deviate too much, but the faces clearly has more character in those photos than they did in FOTR, so they did what they could. Also the fact they are a different kind could explain why the trolls in The Hobbit are smarter, simply explained by a throw away line somewhere. It's atrocious that AICN is still putting up 640×400 pictures in 2012. Everything about that site is horrible, except their behind the scenes feature.

Quasimango posted:It honestly seemed kind of dickish of Frodo to just go 'Welp, see ya!' at the end, since one of the subplots had been Arwen giving up on the Undying Lands in order to be with the one she loved. I thought Frodo was dying and going away was his only choice.

MANIFEST DESTINY posted:Projectors/bulbs are below spec theater-side, which isn't really surprising considering theater owners don't operate with great margins. Good bulbs are expensive and dim fast, they wont replace them until they absolutely have to. Sometimes you get lucky and theres a brand new bulb! I just avoid 3d it usually does nothing for me, though the new spiderman used it well. It's mostly just lazy calibration and running the bulbs for way too long.

Gimmedaroot posted:The 3d for Avatar was shot with 3d cameras, and were not post conversion. That's why I have such faith in The Hobbit.

Galadriel fighting would be really cool. I hope they get some new fight choreographers because the fighting was mostly boring in LOTR unless Legolas was kicking rear end. More wirework and martial arts would kick so much rear end.

Silver Brushes posted:I know a lot of people disagree but the only big of CG in LOTR that looks glaringly awful is the eagle flying over the mountains in Fellowship. And maybe Gollum's teaser/close-up in Moria but neither really bother me enough to want them changed. Technically, the Gollum shots look fantastic, they're just grating because the design is so obviously different from the final product.

Colonel Whitey posted:If 48fps is the intended viewing mode, why is it so rare (relatively)? I would have to drive 2 hours to see it in IMAX/3D/48fps even though I'm in a major-ish city with a fully featured state of the art IMAX theatre. Why bother going to the trouble of filming this high profile trilogy in this new format if the distribution effectively makes it just a 'limited edition' version of the film? It's never going to catch on this way and I imagine that only cinephiles are going to know or care about 48fps. It had a harsh backlash at Cinemacon, a convention for theater owners, which made New Line seriously reconsider their push of the tech. Remember these guys would love a "new" 3D again to relive the glory days of Avatar, so the negative feedback was taken very seriously.

Hedrigall posted:we thought "ok he's the goofy looking one with the bowl haircut". But since reading the Official Movie Guide I know that in the movies he'll be the young, shy one who's been sheltered his entire life and this is his first journey out into the world; and he looks up to his brother Nori who is a bit of a rough/badass type; and he has a complicated relationship with his other brother Dori, who acts more like a fussy parent to him and doesn't want him on the trip, so Ori is keen to prove himself; and he also feels empathy with Bilbo as they're both naive fish-out-of-water types on this trip; and over the course of the films we'll see him grow in bravery to the point where, years later, he'll be one of Balin's crew who goes to take back Moria and dies tragically in the chamber of Marzabul. I mean, that's actually a lot of character arc, he's not just the goofy-looking one. Let's see how much of this actually makes it into the movies.
