  5. Writing • New Line's planned film of The Hobbit has hit some definite production snags, what with Guillermo del Toro (director of Hellboy II and Pan's Labyrinth) leaving the project (source). So we're still keeping our fingers crossed that the film will actually be made. But here's our question: New Line will be splitting the story of The Hobbit into two full-length features. Where do you think they'll make the cut? If you were producing a film of The Hobbit, would you spread it over more than one film? What might be some of the advantages and disadvantages of trying to film the complete story of The Hobbit in two movies?

  7. Theme: a universal truth • The famous director Alfred Hitchcock coined a term that is still widely used today: the MacGuffin. A MacGuffin is the thing that the hero or heroine of a film is looking for. It could be anything: a murder weapon, some stolen jewels, the letters of transit, whatever. The important point about the MacGuffin is that it's what keeps the plot going. And that is what treasure is in The Hobbit – it keeps the dwarves on their quest and generates tension between Thorin and Bilbo (and Bard and the Elvenking, and pretty much everyone else in the world). Wealth is what makes the plot of The Hobbit move. But the odd thing about the dwarves' treasure is that everyone desperately wants a piece of this MacGuffin except Bilbo. He is genuinely not greedy. So we have to ask ourselves, what is Bilbo in this adventure for? • Questions About Wealth • Treasure provides the reason for Bilbo's quest with the dwarves. But Bilbo doesn't seem to have any real interest in money even at the beginning of their adventure. Why does Bilbo choose to go along with Thorin & Co.? What are the particular goals of Bilbo's quest?
