grim22 Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 They should go there, and come back again - as the title suggests, with the return journey hopefully being faster and less eventful. And then the framing device ends. Disclaimer: I haven't read the books. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empire Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 After Bilbo returns home we return to the older Bilbo framing device, ending as Gandalf arrives. I think that would be the best way to end it and what I would like to see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 After Bilbo returns home we return to the older Bilbo framing device, ending as Gandalf arrives. I'd rather they didn't do this, but I think that's what's gonna happen (given all the Frodo/Bilbo setup in AUJ). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Marston Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 I hear that Ian Holm and Elijah Wood said they won't appear in the trilogy again I can see it ending kind of like this. After Bilbo returns home, Gandalf and Balin (and probably all the remaining dwarves in the movie) come and visit him. Gandalf as a final conversation with Bilbo. Later, you see Bilbo leaving his house and seeing the ring on top of the mantle place (kind of like in the cartoon version) and then he closes the door and the film ends with a shot of inside door. Kind of the other side of the final shot of the first movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tucherbier Posted April 24, 2014 Share Posted April 24, 2014 I think the ending that Peter Jackson will do is that it will end with Bilbo narrating some part of the end of his adventure to Frodo. And then a fade to Frodo putting his end notes into his adventures after the end of the LOTR and handing the book to Samwise. The better way would be to have the happy ending of the book where Balin and Gandalf visit Bilbo at Bag End and they share a smoke, while Balin speaks of the glories that the Lonely Mountain has now achieved and we get to see what it looks like inside and out including a fade of Dale and Lake-Town.

Rorschach Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 As this could possibly be the last time we visit Middle-Earth, I hope they end off with a bang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
