Have you heard about The Hobbit movies? At last, well the release is not imminent (2010 and 2011) but they are going to happen! That’s right, they. Apparently the powers that be (including Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh as producers) have decided to make two movies. I am not qualified to speculate on the break down of the story lines, who can say how it will all come about. I am just so excited!
I have found a couple of places where people are talking and speculating about what will happen, who the cast will be and so on. They are great sources if you are interested in The Hobbit. First is The Hobbit Official Movie Blog http://www.thehobbitblog.com/ and then there is Hobbit Central http://www.hobbitcentral.com/smf/index.php. These are both fairly new sites and you need to know that though they do not at the moment have an abundance of information (no one does yet) they are building a base and as they glean information they pass it along. Hobbit Central has a really great forum.
Guillermo Del Toro has been announced as director for both films. He has directed Pans Labyrinth, and Hellboy and more. He certainly seems to understand the genre. It will be fascinating to watch him and Peter Jackson working together.
If you are a Tolkien fan these are indeed exciting times.
There is always hope.
