It's gonna be awful most likely. At least if it goes out the Hobbit way we can get fanedits that cut out the bad stuff and make it more book accurate.
They should get the director who made the LotR movies instead. /s
If the studio does not take too much creative control it could be fine. Hobbit was supposed to be 2 kovies originally but then the studio started meddling
Do you know of a good fan edit of the hobbit?
The M4 book edit. Tries to stick to the book as close as possible, trimming the 3 movies into one 4hr long movie (he even replaced Bard's son with a wooden beam in the scene where Smaug is killed). Also adds an extra of some of the cut out stuff gandalf does.

Thanks for this.
