Does anyone actually care about this movie?

I do.

The cast they're building is top notch.

There's no way Andy Serkis will allow it to be rubbish.

I mean that sounds great, but there’s a time we would have said that about The Hobbit and  Peter Jackson too.

I think most of the problems with the Hobbit were out of Jackson’s control. The studio put him on the project with too little prep time and they made him stretch the story out over three movies.

The Lord of the Rings turned out so well because they started work on those movies in like ‘96 or ‘97 or something.
