"THE HOBBIT
We're about three weeks away from turning over the first draft of the script to the studio,” revealed Jackson. That’s the script for the first Hobbit movie – the second still only exists in the form of “an extensive treatment”. He said that he and Guillermo del Toro are particularly enjoying writing for the movies’ unruly mob of dwarves. “We have 13 dwarves to cast – it’s going to be a lot of fun. Though there’s 13 poor guys who are going to be walking around the mountains in summer wearing heavy costumes, sweating under their prosphetic make-up. It’s going to be tough. And logistically tough – imagine getting those guys through wardrobe at the beginning of each day and then shooting… They'll be passing out from heat. It’s going to be tricky.”

It shouldn't be hard to cast 13 short people. I have heard that short people are hard up to find work and they get short pay on top of that when they do find work. Even in Hollywood; so I am sure there will be a big line of short people wanting to um stretch out for any role possible in The Hobbit. Whatever short people are left with out a role in The Hobbit should really try out to be a seeing eye person. I'm sure blind people would love to have a short person to walk them around besides some stupid dog.

What is the effing deal with the last paragraph?

Is it "pick on the handicap day"?

Take it out, it makes you look pathetic.

superdog- Yeah... Godzilla eats his ass!!! WITH A SPOON!!!! :P

TheGuillotine- They're not handicaped, they're height challenged.

Keven, what is with you asking people if they're stoned as if it were an insult. Cracks me up, especially from a Canuk. Maybe if you smoked a lil' turtle-weed, you'd be a little less high-strung.

Shaman, I believe the term is 'vertically challenged' lmao. The good part about little people is... they stay crunchy in milk :)

AAAAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAA!!!

That's the very best midget line i've ever freakin heard!!!! LMFAO!!!! :P Good one Myth!!!

"...they stay crunchy in milk..."

BFFFOUAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA!!!!

@Shaman

Correct. My bad. Still stand by my point, however that it should be taken out.
Shaman
Shaman - 7/24/2009, 10:06 AM
teabag- Correct me if i'm wrong, there is always that possibility, but i believe the answer to the question on your picture would be to... "simply start the engine". Wouldn't it???

Kratos6- Does my avatar seem... giggle provoking to you? :P

TheGuillotine- No worries, good clean rubbish ;P

I actually have to agree with TheGuillotine...the jokes there at the bottom seem kind of tasteless in context of the article...kind of makes it seem like we don't appreciate what they do in the movies we all enjoy. I would take it off, as well.

The good news is, this is promising stuff for the Hobbit! Very excited for it.

@ Teabag, now that's disturbing man! I'll never sleep in the nude, on my stomacah again!

the Hobbit rules, I hope this doesn't get stopped by all the court crap that's still going on.

Just because they are dwarves, doesn't mean they are going to cast midgets. John Rhys Davies wasn't a midget when he played Gimli, nor is he a midget now. They are most likely going to use camera persepective again so whoever they use as Bilbo won't look out of place with a bunch of midgets. I'm sure they are going to cast 13 normal sized people to be the dwarves. Oh and Jman, I'm sure all of those midgets you are offending with your last paragraph are going to come out of the woodwork and rape your shins.
Shaman
Shaman - 7/24/2009, 12:28 PM
Teabag- You and me both. It would be a real shame if these midgets never saw the way of gay. The prostates would be a lesser place without them. :P
Shaman
Shaman - 7/24/2009, 12:42 PM
You see, that's why i like you Teabag, you didn't say they were half empty :))

Phoenix9109 - 7/24/2009, 12:46 PM
...you do know that they won't actually be casting midgets, right?

harrisonefreeman - 7/24/2009, 12:58 PM
That might be one of the most offensive things I've ever read. Also I don't think an Army of short people are going to be cast, it's not the Wizard of OZ. They may use them as doubles for some shots but if you recall nearly every person cast as a Hobbit or a dwarf were full size people and camera trickery.
Shaman
Shaman - 7/24/2009, 1:20 PM
teabag- Yes well i appreciate your optimism as well, ol chap ;)

so when is the movie coming out?

Jman@ that was the most offensive comment I have ever heard!!!!!! We dogs are NOT stupid and we resent you saying that short people could do a better job walking blind people around. It's bad enough we got all those Mexican chiuahas sneaking across the border taking out jobs. Now we gotta compete with midgets too? BULLSHIT!!!!!!



In these economic times the midgets need all the work they can get. What with the keebler factory making all of those layoffs and plant closings and never never land tied up in probate.

Teabag, I nearly pissed myself at the midget raping the dude with sticks. Plenty of time in county have trained me to sleep on my back with my ass clenched, so I think I'm safe.

Whats with everyone getting all the sand in their vag's over some good ole' midget mockery. Grow beyond that feeble shell your parents created for you, anything is only as offensive as you allow it to be. If you are offended, it's only because you gave it the power to offend, it's that simple.

I HEARD DANIELLE RADCLIFFE WAS PLAYING BILBO BAGGINS

Gunsmith, he is one of a few people they are looking over along with James McAvoy and some others
BillyBlack
BillyBlack - 7/24/2009, 4:49 PM
No to Harry Potter playing Bilbo.

That would bring some serious credibility issues to the table for me. They better look in another direction, or someone is getting stabbed in the eyes.

Oh and that midget doing the stick-assraping just secured the first dwarf role. 12 to go!

Teabag - will you be my talent agent?
