Plenty of shit news and bad stuff in the world right now so nice to see a little glimmer of good news.

 

Production of The Hobbit to begin tomorrow

 

Production of The Hobbit is set to begin tomorrow. Sets have been created at a sheep and beef farm near Matamata and other, to be announced, locations around New Zealand will be used during the more than year-long filming.

 

Matt Dravitzki, Jackson’s assistant told the Sunday Star-Times:

 

“We are very excited to be starting production. We will be shooting right through this year and into 2012. We will be filming in our studios in Miramar, Wellington, and in locations throughout New Zealand, but I can’t reveal those at the moment.”

 

Dravitzki said Jackson’s health was “good” after a scare earlier this year. “We are all raring go to go.”

 

In an earlier media release Jackson said: “Despite some delays we are fully back on track and very excited to get started.”

 

The first instalment of The Hobbit is expected in December 2012, while the second will be released in 2013.

I wouldn't worry too much about it flopping. It's the same director, same writing team, same prduction company etc.

 

And the material, like LOTR, is first class. Tolkien is the real provider of these films; Jackson stayed relatively loyal to the books for LOTR, can't see him changing his approach now.

 

THe Battle of Five Armies should be a fucking belter in Jackson's hands.

Well fuck me if I'm not late to the party. Just got sent this.

 

Looking forwards to this almost as much as I was anticipating the trilogy now.

[RedBrian84]

Proper. Fucking. Excited.

[the walsh]

LOTR is quality cant wait for these movies im going to watcht the three lotr before this come out again peter jackson and the prodoction team seem to get it right i dont think where going to be dissapointed.

[Unrighteous]

To be honest, there is a LOT more action in The Hobbit. This will kick the tar out of the LOTRs, I think.

[dennis tooth]

Will we finally see Tom Bombadil?

[Duff Man]

Probably not seeing as he wasn't in The Hobbit

[Bobby Hundreds]

James Nesbitt I still can't believe it.

[dennis tooth]

He was in LOR books and didn't appear in the film of it. Given it's more or less all the same people making it I think it's already established that they owe us one for excluding him from LOR. It's going to be a bit crap if he's not in it don't you think?

So the anoraks who moaned about the omission of Tom Bombadil from TLOTR will be happy if he is included in the filming of a book he isn't in?

[Xherdan]

The Hobbit kicks the shit out of LOTR imo.

 

However, I will be very disappointed if Dracula doesnt make it into the movie.

A lot more action in The Hobbit? What the fucking fuck are you on about? There's about 10 massive fights including three huge set-piece battles in LOTR.

 

In The Hobbit they just wander about hiding from trolls and there's one fight, right at the end.

The Hobbit is much more condensed. It's not about 'big massive fights' being more action... I reckon it'll be much more exciting to watch...

Not really an anorak, just the one issue I had with the film to be fair.

They can either try to make up for the mistake or act as if it didn't happen but I remember.

He would jazz it up a bit if he were in it, him and his wife, as people have pointed out that there will not nearly be enough fights to be a successful film and it seems that is what has delayed filming while they try and work around that problem. Best way to do that for me is throw in Bombadil, make it lighthearted to keep the anorak spirits up, he can just walk into it, like a cameo role maybe they don't even need to give him any lines just let him sup a drink in the background or wave to them as he cycles past. It's their loss if they don't do it, Peter Jackson wil if he wants to work in hollywood in future.

That's arse about face.

[Bernard Diomede]

Has it been confirmed that they are going to fill the time between the end of the hobbit and the start of the lord of the rings yet?

The Hobbit Films Get Official Titles | Movie News | Empire

 

Now that the two movies are shooting, it was about time that Peter Jackson, MGM and New Line got around to naming them. Well, it’s official: the Hobbit films are going to be called The Hobbit: Based on the novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire and The Hobbit 2: Electric Bilboloo.

 

Calm down… The actual titles are as follows: The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, which will arrive in cinemas on December 14, 2012 followed by The Hobbit: There and Back Again on December 13, 2013.

 

And just in case you’ve forgotten, the cast includes (deep mental breath) Martin Freeman, Orlando Bloom, Andy Serkis, Elijah Wood, Hugo Weaving, Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett, Richard Armitage, Jed Brophy, Adam Brown, John Callen, Stephen Fry, Ryan Gage, Mark Hadlow, Peter Hambleton, Stephen Hunter, William Kircher, Sylvester McCoy, Bret McKenzie, Graham McTavish, Mike Mizrahi, James Nesbitt, Dean O'Gorman, Lee Pace, Mikael Persbrandt, Conan Stevens, Ken Stott, Jeffrey Thomas and Aidan Turner.

 

Meanwhile, keeping up his commitment to engage with fans, Jackson has started answering submitted questions on his Facebook page. And he’s kicked off by talking about the likelihood that we’ll see the White Council take action in the new films.

 

For those scrunching their faces in bewilderment at the mention of the name, the Council was made up of various Elves, Wizards and others who met to maintain the peace and deal with problems through the years in Middle-earth, often focusing on the rising threat from Sauron. Elrond (Weaving), Gandalf (McKellen) and Galadriel (Blanchett) all served at one point. The Council was also involved in driving the Necromancer (actually Sauron) out of his former stronghold in Dol Guldur, forcing him back to Mordor.

 

“I'm not going to say just what and when, but I will confirm that both the White Council and Dol Guldur will feature in the movies. And not just in one scene either. Just how to visualise it has been a challenge, but fortunately Alan Lee and John Howe went crazy with ideas, and it should look pretty cool."

 

Jackson also posts a link to an extremely cool picture of the most famous members of the Council meeting on set and brandishing deadly weapons, so be sure to head on over and take a look.

How the fuck Does Ian Mckellen a pensioner dress exactly how you imagine an old age pensioner too dress yet still look kind of cool and modern.
