As far as the HD making EMPIRE look weird, isn't there some setting that had to be flipped on some HDTVs? I know when I go to my father-in-laws house, his HD looks like absolute garbage. Same with my sister-in-laws house. It looks hyper-real, or something. The picture is clear, but seems to play a tad too fast, or something. I can't quite put my finger on it, but it keeps me from ever turning the TV on at their house. I see it on some of the TVs in store like Wal-Mart, where they were obviously set-up by people who have no idea what they are doing.

Three movies, though, sounds greedy and excessive to me.

Given the addtional information concerning backstory elements to be included, I'm more than happy to see three. My request would be that they be released in a short cycle. Say, Christmas, Memorial Day, Christmas. A three year cycle is two long.

It is only at the end of a shoot that you finally get the chance to sit down and have a look at the film you have made. Recently Fran, Phil and I did just this when we watched for the first time an early cut of the first movie - and a large chunk of the second. We were really pleased with the way the story was coming together, in particular, the strength of the characters and the cast who have brought them to life. All of which gave rise to a simple question: do we take this chance to tell more of the tale? And the answer from our perspective as the filmmakers, and as fans, was an unreserved ‘yes.' We know how much of the story of Bilbo Baggins, the Wizard Gandalf, the Dwarves of Erebor, the rise of the Necromancer, and the Battle of Dol Guldur will remain untold if we do not take this chance. The richness of the story of The Hobbit, as well as some of the related material in the appendices of The Lord of the Rings, allows us to tell the full story of the adventures of Bilbo Baggins and the part he played in the sometimes dangerous, but at all times exciting, history of Middle-earth. So, without further ado and on behalf of New Line Cinema, Warner Bros. Pictures, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Wingnut Films, and the entire cast and crew of “The Hobbit” films, I’d like to announce that two films will become three. It has been an unexpected journey indeed, and in the words of Professor Tolkien himself, "a tale that grew in the telling." Cheers, Peter J
