Oh please. This is just too much. I don't think we will see a Hobbit movie soon.

Re: The Hobbit movie news
Seems like the Valar smiled on Peter Jackson's project when he made LotR into a film trilogy.

Re: The Hobbit movie news
OMG! The hobbit is being made into a film? Can't wait, Lotr was like, one of my fave trilogies of all time! If Peter Jackson's doin it, then, great! But it confuses me a bit as to why he didn't do the hobbit first...
![]() The books are amazing too! ![]()

Re: The Hobbit movie news
The suing is totally OK, things has to be legal and correct.
If they didnt pay the right sot Tolkien they dont deserve to make movies about Tolkien´s works. But anyway Now the New Line is over... why people still insist in that Peter Jackson as a director of The Hobbit?? XDD As far as I know, now anyone knows anything about the future of The Hobbit. Whatever, I hope Peter Jackson will be out of it anyway. It should have other director and other screenwriters... |

"Whatever, I hope Peter Jackson will be out of it anyway. It should have other director and other screenwriters... "
What Peter jackson did a good job with LOTR why shouldn't he be involved in the hobbit, And I'm pretty sure it's been announced that Jackson is involved in the movie. And if peter jackson isn't involved in it then they'll ruin the film. The reason the hobbit wasn't made into a film first was becaue new line didn't have the contract for it another company had it . |

Official Announcement in 4-5 Days?!
Guillermo Del Toro says in an interview with ign.com, that news on his involvement with The Hobbit should come in the next four to five days.
Quote:
NYCC 08: Del Toro Circles The Hobbit How close is the helmer to signing a deal? Sounds like it's going to happen. I had been satisfied with his involvment if Jackson does not direct....but this statement worries me: "Del Toro mentioned that if he was hired, he would be doing both prequels and that he would be using his own style rather than adhering to anything set in the Lord of the Rings films." I had thought he once said that he would stay close to the world and tone set in the Rings trilogy.... Guess all we can do is wait and see. Quote:

Re: The Hobbit movie news
Yesss!! Isn't it great....
Interesting to see that snippet from Ian Mckellen's website. But as far as I can see, 2010 is off the table. It'll have to be 2011 and 2012 now - there simply isn't enough time! Think about it - they need a year's post production between filming and release date (that's how it worked for FotR and the time was tight). Therefore filming would have to be done around Christmas 2009. And it would presumably take a year, perhaps a little less. So, count all of 2009 for filming.... that would leave Del Toro all of half a year for script writing and pre-production once he is finally done with Hellboy 2. I'd say filming in 2010, films released 2011 and 2012. I suppose that'll mean that Hobbit1 goes head to head with at least one of the DH films? Or are those scheduled for 2010? I'd rather not have them in the same year - winter 2001 and 2002 were stressful. Instead of spreading out the joy for everyone HP and LotR went head-to-head both Christmas seasons, and I could have done without that. I want to have time to enjoy BOTH hypes to the full!

Re: The Hobbit movie news
Yay.
![]() I am pleased about Del Toro. ![]() ![]() My jury is out on the prospect of the second film though ... He’ll direct the two films back to back, with the sequel dealing with the 60-year period between “The Hobbit” and “The Fellowship of the Ring,” the first of the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy. Hmmm.

Re: The Hobbit movie news
Well, Pearl - at least this will give us all something to speculate ovr the next three years. I am really hopeing for more traffic over at the old Blue Place, to be honest!
My question above has been answered, I suppose. I just found this over at Muggle Studies, in the DH thread: Quote:
Well - this would mean that we'd have a big release in winter 2010, summer 2011, winter 2011 and winter 2012. That would be lovely pacing. ![]()

Re: The Hobbit movie news
Is Guillermo planning a LOTR shoot for the Hobbit and the Bridge though? It could well be that they shoot them seperately, in which case 2010 is perfectly viable.

Ah. Right. Yes, 2010 is going to be a problem then.

Re: The Hobbit movie news
I should have given you an authoritative source for this - sorry that I forgot to do that.
here is the Variety article that was published less than 24 hours ago. This news is still very recent, so it hasn't become part of oublic knowledge just yet, I suppose.... http://www.variety.com/VR1117984595.html EDIT: more CRUCIAL information - really worth reading, from GDT himself. http://www.theonering.net/torwp/2008...-hobbit-films/ This clears up quite a lot, actually.

I am wondering how they got the rights to create a film that is "between the lines." Perhaps the fact that there is general information in the Rings appendices (to which Jackson holds the rights) is enough? Quote:
Still, Del Toro will be a great director for this. He's good, folks. It makes up for Cuarón not doing it! (How they can find a story for a second "fill the gap" film is a bit beyond me, though: I'm fearing all plot and no story a la Attack of the Clones!)
