Some things we should keep in mind
[In reply to]
|
Can't Post
|
|
1) This is a promo image. If movie trailers have taught us anything, it's that marketing lies. Just because this appears to be a shortened version of the EW scroll doesn't mean the first film will be shortened. On that note... 2) This looks like it's only part of a larger scroll. And I'm not just saying that because it only covers about half of the material that was presented in the EW scroll. I;m saying that because this "new" scroll doesn't have the film's title anywhere, and it seems to end abruptly. If anything, this tell me whoever is running the Hobbit App had to user a shortened scroll so the huge image would work better on smart phones. THAT, or their holding back on showing off Beorn, Mirkwood, and the Elves until we get closer to release date. 3) If the scroll was supposed to depict the broad strokes of the first film, why have they still left out Goblin Town? Or the Rock Giants (which apparently now have a pretty large moment in the film), or any of the White Council material? This indicates this is NOT everything we'll be seeing in the film. 4) Until somebody sees an actual trailer (not the teaser from December), we won't have any clear idea about what parts of the story AUJ will cover. Until it comes out, I think we ought to simmer down and be patient. And remember, as long as we see a bear, a spider, elves, or a big, scary Norseman, we'll be in the clear.
