Tweaking the Hobbit

Yours truly was interviewed recently for an article in regard to the changes being made to the Hobbit, and they actually used a couple of my comments. You can read the article at The Urban Wire.

Please note that I’m not that concerned about the changes so far being discussed, but I am also somewhat wary of what may come. Don’t forget that PJ did try to insert Arwen into Helm’s Deep, and there are some changes to the LotR movies that I’m not thrilled about, so consider my general viewpoint in regards to the Hobbit as…cautious.
