LOTR Fellowship movie will NOT be 2 hours 45 minutes long

<< Whoa, that's pretty long.

But anyway, is all the principle filming done with for now? What I mean is all the acting done for at this point. Is the rest up to computer generation? If it is, I hope the grapical artists know how to make the characters and scences as realistic as possible, I don't want this movie to be another "The One." The graphics in that movie were rediculous.

The principle filming has been done for about a year. The past year has been post production (editing, special effects, etc.) for FOTR. Post production on Two Towers started a while ago.

Have you seen any of the trailers or specials on TV? The effects are amazing and makes anything that ILM put out look like crap in comparison. The cave troll for example...he looks organic and doesn't have that plastic-like digital feel to him *cough* star wars *cough*

I am going to see LOTR!

I can't wait to see it either, it looks very cool.. I haven't read the books though. But I somehow know I'm gonna like the movie, and know I'd love the books..

What's with people complaining about the 3 hour length? That's great! It just shows how good of a movie it's going to be, that they couldn't stuff it all in an hour. I for one definitely will have no problem with holding it for 3+ hours. If you can't hold your piss for over 3 hours, something is really defective with you!

I do not think they should have cut Tom Bombadil. He is the one character that I always had no trouble picturing or remembering.

Just think, with the 10 minutes of previews, this puts the movie well over 3 hours. The only problem is that the longer the movie is, the fewer times it can be shown in the theaters.

Yes, but:

- He's not a very important character in the story
- He's an.. er, embarrassing person in a certain kind of way
- IMHO, he's not a very suitable character for a movie. Alright for the book, but not for this movie.
