scenery
In the past movies, Jackson used a brilliant view of the magnificent landscape, New Zealand. In the theaters, or even at home, the scenery, used in 'The Lord of the Rings' looks as if it is too realistic and palpable. My concern is, will Del Toro use these scenes in The Hobbit? Think of the lighting of the beacons in 'The Return of the King', supported with a terrific and exquisite piece of score from the genius musician, Howard Shore, it showed the Might and power of The Mountains in a unthinkably amazing simplicity. They rode a helicopter around and took views and shots of the gigantic and majestic landscape. Will Mr. Del Toro even think of using these? Or will he think of it as a waste of time? Or do ou have your own opinion?

first of all: this will still be a Wingnut film, so will have exactly the same production team, etc. and Howard Shore has already been signed on, so as far as scenery and stuff is concerned, I think Del Toro's going to keep it very similar, so I don't think there's anything to worry about!

(and Peter Jackson's there for the sole purpose to make it look like the same world)

Well... I hope Del Toro has Jackson's sight of all the scenery, I'd like to see allot of Erebor and The misty Mountains.

O do expect allot of change, trust me, that was not my opinion at all. I'm saying, legolas, or pondering (the reason why i put this post up, and for most other reasons for most other posts). Del Toro is a genius, I'm just thinking of how close to a seamless transition this is really going to be, it could or could not. Now I'm concerned that if he changes TOO much that it will be not good. Things that Jackson made (he even said this) he will not change too much but there are also things and regions that was not touched. I Don't mean to cause controversy. But do you get what I'm saying?

[Wormtongue]

no i don't get what your saying.

No I think they all have to look like The Lord of the Rings, I'm hoping the darkness Del toro uses is sustained throughout the whole movies, Jackson's vision was legendary and Del Toro has not to much of the same vision because his movie are dark but they very colorful also and they don't have the greyness color to them. Del Toro uses a lot of the dark colors, don' get me wrong, like in Pan's Labyrinth he uses the dark green for the Labyrinth, the dark blue and slight grey for the real world but unfortunately he uses bright colors for the fantasy world sooo?? does he notice the colors in The Lord of the Rings??

The sets for the Shire and the miniature of Rivendell will be the same at least... so bag end will be the same house, and so on!!!

Thats good news to me at least

Hobbiton should be the same... thats key, in the first few minutes, to convincing people it's the same world. And rivendell should be essentially the same, although I suppose they could make it a bit more in its prime. Filming in NZ should help the wildlands etc. look right... it's the locations like mirkwood I can imagine GDT's directorial style influencing the design of... but these will be new locations and he will have to allow the style of the previous locations blend in with them so the departure can't be too big.

The 'believability' of the LOTR films was amazing compared to a lot of fantasy... Yes I know it's about hobbits and whatnot, but the buildings & cultures felt like they had a genuine heritage, and weren't just OTT fantastic designs. I really hope this carries on into the hobbit.
