With any artist I think you may see some common elements, but the goal is for its creation to be unique to itself. Why else would anyone want to create something with each movie (or with music, painting etc)? The public would tire of a repetitive performance and where is the fun in that for the director/creator (and I know that the great JRR Tolkien is the creator, but in this sense I mean the creator of this movie adaptation)? There is none. So anyone who says that HB, HBII and Pans sets something for The Hobbit does not understand the process or motivation behind creative works in my opinion, and the goal of that movie/project being unique. I look forward to seeing GDT's adaptation of The Hobbit and am excited because of the depth of his creativity which is evident from his past projects. That is what excites me about having him on board. Again, his creative genius gives me great confidence in the final product which I know will be a unique item to itself.
" . . . (we are ) too engrossed in thinking of everything as a preparation or training or making one fit -- for what? At any minute it is what we are and are doing, not what we plan to be and do that counts." J.R.R. Tolkien in his 6 October 1940 letter to his son Michael Tolkien.
