I believe the two parts come out in 2011 and 2013 respectively, but I may be mistaken :wink:

As far as I know, the only cast that has been revealed is Ian MckKellen returning as Gandalf.

i cant wait for the new films i was watchin a tv show in the uk with ian mckellen on and he said he could say anything about them but he did let slip that there would be a return for some of the characters in lotr i thought maybe legolas briefly and aragorn possibly

Cool

I think Legolas might appear--after all, I believe he was at Thranduil's halls during the time. Not sure about Aragorn, though.

aragorn would not appear but Leagalos would almost definatley though it would be a small part

Here's a few things i have .........

-They start filming in march 2010
-Hobbiton has been built already (in august)
-Filming will last about 370 days
-Bilbo won't be Ian Holm
-John Rhys-Davies was asked to play Gloin, but he doesn't want to put that mask on his face again
-The comings and goings of Gandalf will be in the movies (which must mean the white council, and all the Thrain in a dungeon scene. I'm looking forward to Dol Guldur)

This is from a recent interview with Del Toro...

........" The Hobbit has taken much longer to design than your other movies…It took almost a year. Which for me is very, very long because normally I take about a third of that time to design movies like Hellboy. And if you actually take into account we have three or four times the number of artists…We produced hundreds, literally hundreds, of drawings; dozens and dozens of maquettes; dozens of material tests. It’s epic. And we are still going to be designing into production…"

Will the book make up the first movie, with the second movie plucked from the appendices and maybe even your imagination? Or will parts of the book be saved for the second movie?

We are respecting the structure established by Professor Tolkien because the order of the adventures in The Hobbit is well known to generations and generations of kids. You don’t want to be moving stuff like that.

But we will be integrating Gandalf’s comings and goings because he does disappear in the book quite often.

So, as opposed to the book, we see where he goes and what happens to him

You love creating your creatures and obviously The Hobbit offers some great opportunities. There’s the dragon Smaug, the spiders of Mirkwood, the Wargs, Beorn the bear-man…
The way I phrased it to Weta, I said we would keep the DNA in the same gene pool as the Rings trilogy, but that we would generate a different type of character. For example, in the trilogy most of the creatures are brutish or inarticulate.

In The Hobbit, the creatures speak: Smaug has beautiful lines of dialogue; the Great Goblin has beautiful lines of dialogue; many creatures do. So we had to design them with a different approach because you are not just designing things that are scary.

I also wanted some of the monsters in The Hobbit to be majestic.

I wanted the Wargs to have a certain beauty so that you don't have a massively clear definition: what is beautiful is good and what is ugly is not. Some of the monsters are absolutely gorgeous.

im glad to hear they have decided to go through with it after all, i just hope they dont sway away from the path set by the original lord of the rings

Perhaps an admin would be kind enough to merge the threads? 2 discussions is a bit unnecessary. :wink:

Here is something very interesting from The Guardian newspaper in the UK:
