Well i liked Hellboy, have to see Golden Army have not yet. Liked his direction on Blade II.

Have yet to see Pan's Labyrinth the subtitles and non english was abit off putting. Plus the plot was spoiled and i really don't like movies with really down endings. But not all films have to have a happy ending.

I am happy Del Toro is keeping Smaug's speech. Early on the studio wanted to do away with that getting images of that bad movie where sean connery voices a dragon.

Having continuity and same actors for a lot of the roles with the lord of the rings films is awesome. Filmed in the same locales as lord of the rings. Peter Jackson as a producer and screenwriter with fran walsh. Ian Mckellen as gandalf, i hope christopher lee returns as saruman. I also hope to see Vigo as Aragorn, The dude from pirates of the caribbean as legolas. I want to see how they pull off Beorn the were bear. Who they choose to play Bilbo baggins and the dwarves. The music better be by Howard Shore and the London Philarmonic.

I want to see the first convincing fairy story dragon brought to the screen. It has not been done before.

Since the story of sigurd the dragon slayer has never been put to film at least with the dragon taunting the hero. They better do the riddle contest in gollums cave, that chapter riddles in the dark was always one of my favorites.

IS Weta doing the effects ? is it being shot on super 35mm film like lord of the rings?
