More details have emerged of Peter Jackson’s new project, the Beatles documentary The Beatles: Get Back and there is some surprise and disappointment that no hobbits will feature.
It could be that his previously good working relationship with hobbits has diminished to such a degree that they are no longer able to work together, although it could simply be that no hobbits were available when he was making the documentary.
“Really disappointed that new Peter Jackson doc hasn’t got any hobbits in,” said twitter user @myringtorulethemall.
“If he had any respect for his fans, he would have made it a Beatles documentary about hobbits, but he seems to think he’s too important for that now.
“I mean, I get that the Beatles were important, what with inventing pop music and that. But the hobbits took the ring to Mount Doom so to leave them out of the documentary seems a bit unfair.”
Another fan suggested how the Lord of the Rings director could rectify the situation.
“What he could do is use technology,” said @totalgandalf.
“Get some hobbits to do some acting and film them and then use technology to put that film of the hobbits in the documentary.
“It’s pretty easy, I did a video for mum’s birthday which was her sitting in the garden with it cutting to clips from Live Aid, so it looked like Live Aid was happening right in her garden.
“He just needs to do something like that except with hobbits instead of mum and The Beatles instead of a Live Aid.”
Mr Jackson has yet to comment on the matter, which almost certainly indicates that he is considering @totalgandalf’s suggestion.
