Article uses "the trilogy" without identifying LotR trilogy or Hobbit trilogy
There are several points where the article just uses "the trilogy" instead of specifically identifying which trilogy is meant. I presume much of the text was written when the first Hobbit film had yet to be released, so that "the trilogy" was understood to be the LotR trilogy. Now that the Hobbit films are also a trilogy, those references need changed.
Example: from the Development with del Toro section:
For his part, Jackson had kept the Rivendell scale model and the Bag End set (which he has used as a guest house) from the trilogy.98.162.209.39 (talk) 19:51, 6 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
'voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch'
Surely with all the evidence of motion capture work describing Cumberbatch as voicing Smaug is unjust, untrue, and crude. Frogkermit (talk) 15:54, 22 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
broken sentence or bad punctuation?
In the first paragraph describing the directorial handoff, there's the line 'and offered to help as second unit director. del Toro planned on shooting the film in the'. Either the . after director is wrong, or del Toro should be capitalized as a new line? I'm not familiar enough with the context there to make the decision SeanBrockest (talk) 03:42, 2 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
