It's nice to see someone around here feeling really positive. Smile

I always try to be positive when it comes to the Hobbit movies [In reply to] Can't Post

There's almost certainly a finished version of it... [In reply to] Can't Post

But this vision is not one of the things it needs... why? It would put another climax thing in front of what should have never been a prologue to begin with. It surely cannot come after Smaug's demise - that would be really redundant.


The transition from DoS to BotFA is already such a mess... putting some sort of Gandalf/Smaug prologue in front of it... urgh.

As a unused bonus amidst the featurettes, okay. But I guess a scene like this would be too much work just for the extras (unless there used to be an almost finished version of it).





Because Doug Adams posted on his blog that he'd seen it as part of a preview showing of DoS in October 2013 and it was only cut before the release in the December.
[ETA: And I agree it would have been preferable to the Forges!]

I hadn't heard of it being described anywhere except in the Art book of BOTFA. But that's a thing that I'm so glad to hear! If there is an (almost) finished version of that scene with the vision, PJ might as well find a compromise and put it in BOTFA in some way Sly

That would be great to see [In reply to] Can't Post

In EE but I fear we wont get that scene. Still maybe at least palantir
will show up in some way.
