Wowhwowowh . . Deleted <| sep |> I was talking more about office jobs not manufacturing . A place like NYC has a pretty good job market . There are companies hiring and ones cutting the fat . Eventually all for profit companies will cut some fat . Government shouldn ' t be immune to this . <| sep |> No , i live 498 miles away from the stadium and I need to be 500 away . <| sep |> I would assume he is making it as one film . Considering there are 4 books , most of them around 300 pages which is optimal for a film , he has a good template to follow for a 4 part series maybe 5 considering the last book is longer . To me the obvious issue with The Hobbit is them stretching the movie out to 3 parts . There is a fan edit called the Tolkien Cut , which cuts the near 8 hours of movies down to 4 hours and 30 minutes . And it really works . You can see with this cut how they originally had planned to do the series as two films . Also it highlights the best parts of the movies with the genuinely great scenes popping up about every hour . I haven ' t seen too many fan edits or reedits of multiple films that really get the pacing as well as The Tolkien Cut does . I also have faith with this that as the series isn ' t established , that a studio wouldn ' t want to bankroll turning 1 book into 3 movies . So hopefully he just doesn ' t make the film itself too long .
