A number of sources are reporting the 164 minutes runtime thing, most convincingly Warner Bros' Russian distributor. It's feasable that the final cut is pretty much done now, so this could be true after all. 2 hours and 44 minutes of Hobbit that ends at the Eagle rescue. Sounds stretched at first, until you realise that (just considering the book material) it has bascially the same structure as the film version of Fellowship. Hobbiton <-> Hobbiton Gandalf / Saruman <-> Gandalf / Necromancer Weathertop <-> Trollshaws Rivendell <-> Rivendell Misty Mountains / Avalanche <-> Misty Mountains / Stone Giants Moria <-> Goblin Town Uruk Chase <-> Warg Chase Lothlorian <-> Eagle Eyrie (ok these are slightly out-of-order but you get the idea)

I just noticed this- I'm all for funny but really don't want to break immersion. Can't help but think this might be a joke. HuffPo entertainment bullshit? posted:It is perhaps one of the most unexpected of casting rumors: Stephen Colbert is reportedly making an appearance in Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit." In an interview with Playboy, Colbert let it slip that he spent some time with Jackson at the movie's New Zealand set. The article links to a The Hollywood Reporter article, but it does't provide any more details.

Out of curiosity, has there been any publicity for this film at all that's interesting or cool? Talk show appearances and the like? I had this really weird fantasy the other day for a great way to promote the movie on a talk show with a geeky host like Craig Ferguson who appreciates geeky poo poo. Have, like, Martin Freeman, Ian Mckellan, and Richard Armitage all come out like normal to promote the film, and then have them slowly, two by two, bring all the rest of the dwarf-actors from the film. Basically, play out the Beorn scene except with Ferguson as the flustered host. That'd be so freakin' cool, I always loved that scene

For "interesting or cool" publicity, you might want to check out the eight or so video diaries Peter Jackson has posted on his facebook page.

I'm talking years ago when Guillermo was still attached to this. I swear I heard somewhere that Patton was going to be Bilbo. Martin Freeman is cool and all, but man, I'll always think about what could have been...

I popped into the Weta Cave today, hardly any Hobbit stuff but they had replicas of some of the weapons, as well as the Conditions of Employment contract thing (it's ridiculously long, got bits that fold out etc.) Orcrist, Sting, misc. Dwarf daggers. All the weapons are loving huuuge.  Most of the Contract

The best part about where they're having the first movie end? It's going to be right about where my three-year-old son and I will be with our reading. He asks a lot of questions, so it's going pretty slowly. We just made it to "riddles in the dark".
