I hope they bring back Andy Serkis and Ian McKellen. Those are key roles that can't be replaced. It would also be nice to maybe see Elijah Wood back in some way (probably in the second movie).
 
For sure. :nod: There's been no official word, but if they back Sir Ian back, they'll get him! :D



No, he won't be directing. He's directing the adaptation of The Lovely Bones. He will however, be a producer on The Hobbit.
 
awesome :woot:
so happy to have those guys back. and its definitely nice to finally have some news! hopefully it keeps coming
 
That's a great news. Thanks for the info;)

I haven't read the Hobbit yet. But I'll definitely watch it when it comes to the theaters. :D

Is Peter Jackson actually going to direct The Hobbit? So many people have told me that he isn't then others have told me he is. I really hope he does! LOTR is one of my favourite films and Peter did an amazing job!
 
Hi Brittmyster, (I love your avi!). :wave:

Today's director updates are that MarketSaw is still saying it'll be PJ....


And here's what another contender Guillermo del Toro has to say....


I dunno that I'd want a director who hasn't read LotR to be directing. I mean, I know that book isn't for everyone, (and it took me three tries before I actually made it past the first few chapters of The Silmarillion, so I can sympathise with those who find Tolkien's writings heavy going ;) ), and I know that The Hobbit is really rather different to LotR in many aspects, but the movie will have to fit in with the style of the LotR movies, and the people who were in charge of making the LotR movies became pretty intimate with the writings of Tolkien, which is what made the movies to rich and beautiful and brilliant.

I don't even know if I'm really making sense :lol: , I'm just saying that if you're gonna be directing the finer points of a movie based on Tolkien's work, then you should have read Tolkien's work IMO.
 
This is fantastic!!!! I'm so excited that Peter Jackson is able to do the Hobbit!

Plus 2 films? I couldn't be happier!!!! This has really made my day reading this.

I'm a bit speechless after reading this, but in a good way. All I can say is that I'm ecstatic!!!
 
Talk about your conflicting reports, on TORn they've got two different articles, both quoting the CEO of MGM. In one he's saying...

...and in another...

:spineyes:

Some really great news is that there's also a report that some people who own land which was used to shoot the LotR movies have already been approached to have their land used again, so it's definitely being shot in the right place! they hadn't mentioned in any previous articles whether they'd be shooting in NZ again, so it's great to have the confirmation. :D


It's a bit of an easier read than LotR. ;) Much more simple and straightforward.
 
Yes great news! I can just imagine being in that world again. I have not read The Hobbit yet but I heard a lot of good things about it. I am definitely watching this film.
