(I had heard something about Jack Black as Bilbo and Neil Blomkamp as Director, true? Unimpressed)

Has to be the Smaug zombie... [In reply to] Can't Post

There was a rumour that Smaug would be resurrected by the Necromancer, so he could fight in the battle of five armies. And that after Thorin kills him, Zombie Smaug turns into a giant fireball which flies to the top of Barad Dur and becomes the flaming eye.

...yup

Oh yeah I remember that one [In reply to] Can't Post

I was very worried about that. Sad part is it actually kind of seemed like something PJ would do (I love PJ, but he goes a little overboard sometimes).

I also remember one revolving around a flashback to the Siege of Gondolin. That was a wild one.

Seriously?? [In reply to] Can't Post

Never heard that one before (but then again, I probably wasn't a member of the boards yet when it was floating around).

That really cracked me up reading it, though. Thank goodness it didn't happen! I almost feel I can't complain about anything in the movies now. Wink

Here are some of my favourite rumours: [In reply to] Can't Post

1. There will be a Gondolin flashback in DOS.
2. Galadriel and Gandalf are in love, and Celeborn doesn't know of the affair.
3. The Arkenstone will not appear in the trilogy, at all.
4. Azog and Thrain are zombies, and Smaug!
5. Azog will die in DOS.
6. Thorin will survive the Battle, yet some of the other Dwarves will die instead.
7. Dain will be fully CGI ... Which actually turned out to be pretty true!

Not the craziest rumor by far, but... [In reply to] Can't Post

I do remember when David Tennant was rumored for Thranduil. Personally, I thought that he'd make a great Galion.

Anyway, GDT is listed as "project consultant" in the BOFA credits.Angelic

(Although, with all due respect to GDT, evidently PJ didn't go for the metal armadillos or whatever those things were in the leaked GDT Hobbit designs. Shocked)
