Exclusive: Christopher Lee On The Hobbit
2008-06-04 23:40:00 Exclusive: Christopher Lee On The HobbitHe may play Saruman again Speaking to Christopher Lee earlier this week, as you do, we discovered that the venerable 86-year-old has hopes of dusting off his wizard?s robes to play Saruman again in Guillermo Del Toro?s adaptation of The Hobbit.Now you?re probably asking how the evil white wizard could possibly show his face again when he?s not even featured in The Lord Of The Rings prequel. Well consider the fact that the mooted two-film adaptation will probably be forced to add plenty of new material and Lee?s encyclopaedic knowledge of his character could fill in the gaps.?I?ve read the books time and again,? said the 86-year-old. ?Originally Saruman The White and the rest of the wizards, or the Istari as they call them, were immortal. There were five of them, two of them never appear, I know their names but they never appear, and the only three that are mentioned are Saruman The White, Gandalf The Gr...

Guillermo del Toro Chats with TORN About ‘The Hobbit’ Films!
2008-04-29 00:00:00 Source: The One Ring (http://www.theonering.net/torw-p/2008/04/25/28747-guillermo-de-l-toro-chats-with-torn-about-th-e-hobbit-films/) In an exclusive interview with TheOneRing.net, Guillermo del Toro talks about Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis, Howard Shore, Animatronics vs CGI, the ‘tone’ of the upcoming ‘Hobbit’ films and much more! We had the opportunity to chat with Guillermo del Toro this morning from his current HQ in London. He’s hard at work putting the finishing touches on ‘Hellboy II: The Golden Army’ and taking interviews from news outlets about that film, and the recent announcement that he’ll be doing ‘The Hobbit’ and a subsequent Hobbit sequel down the line.

Guillermo del Toro and The Hobbit Sequel
2008-04-28 04:59:00 Since it was first announced, everyone has been wondering what will become of this supposed Hobbit sequel.For the first time publicly Guillermo del Toro spoke publicly to TheOneRing.net about the planned continuation: "You know, I traveled to New Zealand just a little while ago, and one of the main reasons for going was to sit down and talk about the second film. 'The Hobbit', the book, is really one self-contained film, so for the second movie we sat down and worked it out. When we did this we got really excited because this second film is not a 'tag on', it's not 'filler', it's an integral part of telling the story of those 50 years of history lost in the narrative. There will be certain things that we will see from the first movie but from a different point of view, but it will feel like a volume, in the 5 volumes of the entire story. It will not feel like a bridge, I've been hearing it called 'a bridge film', it's not, it's an integral chapter of the story, and I th...

It's Confirmed: Del Toro For The Hobbit
2008-04-26 23:57:00 It's Confirmed: Del Toro For The HobbitGuillermo will definitely direct prequelSource: Variety It's confirmed, we mean it this time. Guillermo del Toro, New Line, MGM, Peter Jackson and all other interested parties have definitely, finally made a deal, and Empire's favourite Mexican will soon be heading to New Zealand for four years to make two back-to-back Hobbit movies.The announcement of perhaps the world's worst-kept secret comes after months of the principals discussing the idea in public, leaking information and generally paving the way for today's news. Now it's confirmed that Del Toro will be moving to NZ after he finishes work on Hellboy 2, and expects to be there for about four years. That means we're looking at release dates in 2011 and 2012, assuming shooting starts next year, for The Hobbit and an in-between-quel set in the 77-odd years that pass between that story and The Lord of the Rings.The films don't have a definite...

Latest from Guillermo del Toro on The Hobbit
2008-04-05 11:08:00 Until we hear an actual official announcement from New Line / Warner Brothers, anything that Guillermo del Toro, Peter Jackson, or even Ian McKellen says about The Hobbit is unconfirmed. They can talk all they want, but as Guillermo himself says "it's all immaterial until everything is signed and put on paper." With that, on Wednesday the big guns at Entertainment Weekly caught up with Guillermo and, of course, asked him about the latest on The Hobbit. First thing to notice, Guillermo does outright say "I will be involved." Besides that, though, it's the same ol' wait-until-its-ready talk we've heard for a while now. Given the importance of this project, I think its best to leave this update in its original question-and-answer form. Frankly, it's just a brief update with hardly anything new. But it is at least an update that will continue to keep Hobbit fans happy until we get the official word. So where do things stand with you directing The Hobbit? Guillermo: There have been ...

Sir Ian McKellen Will Return As Gandalf In ‘The Hobbit’
2008-03-26 19:20:00 This is good news. Sir Ian McKellen just confirmed on his personal website that he will indeed return as Gandalf in ‘The Hobbit’ if he and Peter Jackson have anything to do with it.While this is good news, I have to say this. Would anyone actually want to see ‘The Hobbit’ made without McKellen playing as Gandalf? I know I wouldn’t be very interested because the movie wouldn’t feel like a LOTR without his voice as the grey wizard.Here is the Q&A from his website where he brings up the role of Gandalf. Q: So has it come to pass, good Sir McKellen? Shall the dreaming masses with their musty books and their blackened pipes at long last hear those immortal words issue from under that famous nose? “Yes, yes, my dear sir-and I know your name, Mr. Bilbo Baggins. And you do know my name, though you don’t remember that I belong to it. I am Gandalf, and Gandalf means me! To think I should have lived to be good-morninged by Belladonna...

Del Toro to Take Over The Hobbit? - SendMeRSS
2008-01-28 09:58:00 Del Toro to Take Over The Hobbit? Guillermo del Toro has been one of the primary names associated with the new adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit for some time. Now it seems he's in official talks to co-write and direct the two-part fantasy epic, while Peter Jackson remains on board as an executive producer with "approval over creative elements of the film."The Hollywood Reporter cites Jackson's busy schedule with The Lovely Bones and Tintin as reasons why the Kiwi director won't be personally taking the reigns of these new Tolkien adaptations. This has to be a (potential) decision that will please a lot of fanboys and girls. If Jackson isn't going to do it himself, at least the immensely capable director who's brought us Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy, The Devil's Backbone, and Cronos is seriously thinking about it. THR puts the budget for the films around $150 million, and estimates that production will begin sometime in 200...

Peter Jackson not Going to Direct ?The Hobbit? Says His Manager
2007-12-20 01:34:00 While there was a short time of euphoria over the announcement the Peter Jackson had mended fences with New Line Cinema and was named as executive director of "The Hobbit," today that came crashing down, as Jackson's manager, Ken Kamins, said he won't be directing the films. The response across the Internet was immediate and very disappointing. It's like giving with one hand and taking away with the other.According to Kamis, Jackson had concerns on how long it has taken to get the project underway. “Peter won’t be directing the films because he felt the fans have waited long enough for The Hobbit," Kamis said. "It will take the better part of every day of the next four years to write, direct, and produce the two Hobbit films. Given his current obligations to both The Lovely Bones and Tintin, waiting for Peter, Fran [Walsh], and Philippa [Boyens], to write, direct, and produce The Hobbit would require the fans wait even longer.

From the urban landscaping with so so many trees and potted palms on every corner to tiny white holiday lights strung outside even the oldest dive bar, spring is really when the city begins to show its frivolous side.And Kitty was in his little dream world, sitting on that patio lapping up an iced chai, when he looked across the street and remembered that right around this time last year ...he went on a 42-minute date with a bipolar hobbit.Some memories good, some bad...but all are the fabric that makes this Kitty a ... well ... a unique, fantastic, and fascinating little Kitty.

The Hobbit by John R.R. Tolkien
2007-02-13 14:54:10 The hobbit-hole in question belongs to one Bilbo Baggins, an upstanding member of a “little people, about half our height, and smaller than the bearded dwarves.” He is, like most of his kind, well off, well fed, and best pleased when sitting by his own fire with a pipe, a glass of good beer, and a meal to look forward to. Certainly this particular hobbit is the last person one would expect to see set off on a hazardous journey; indeed, when Gandalf the Grey stops by one morning, “looking for someone to share in an adventure,” Baggins fervently wishes the wizard elsewhere. No such luck, however; soon 13 fortune-seeking dwarves have arrived on the hobbit’s doorstep in search of a burglar, and before he can even grab his hat or an umbrella, Bilbo Baggins is swept out his door and into a dangerous adventure.
