Still pissed they broke it into three movies...
Supposedly movie 3 is drawing off the Lotr appendices and goes past where the Hobbit ends.

More likely The Unfinished Tales; there's some awesome extra stuff in there, like Gandalf's meeting with Thorin before the journey that made him set up the adventure in the first place. Maybe bits and pieces from The Silmarillion, but I'm not sure what exactly they'd pull from there.

Theyll have a ton of content from beyond Thorins group. The whole Battle of the Five Armies is covered in like 2 pages in the book, kind of in the background as the confrontation with Smaug gets more attention. I assume a heap of elf and human oriented stuff that isnt from the text of the Hobbit. Galadriel, Elrond, etc will have scenes, possibly from Unfinished Tales mentions. Im also baffled at the decision, but I suppose Tolkien has plenty of content to build off. Id have preferred two movies. And im about as Tolkien-nerdy as it gets.

I'm sure they're doing all of Gandalf's activities when he leaves the party, so the White Council's meeting and subsequent attack on Dol Guldur will be in there.

Hyde Park on Hudson- aka the Bill Murray-as-FDR movie- is apparently going to be released on December 7th.

And apparently it's really mediocre, but does feature FDR getting a handy in a car, so there's that.

Pretty much every handjob FDR ever got, he got on wheels.

Too soon?
