:eh:

Don't think he's into writing sound tracks and he's not called Cat Stevens anymore.

Such random responses in this thread.:)

Re: The Hobbit
 

If i can remember back to when i read the books, the "Hobbit" was a thin-ish book and the "Lord of the Rings" was 3 bigger books. So how are they going to make two films out of the "Hobbit" ?

More delays?

Are you on the same planet? Did you not notice post #20? :confused:

Re: The Hobbit
 

Heard about this on the radio, newline cinema paid the up front of £32k and has renegged on the reas of the deal which was 7.5% of gross box office takings plus a precentage of aftersales DVD's but not merchandise.

Also the Tolkein estate want to remove the licence for the 2 hobbit films from newline cinema as they feel they will not get any monies agreed for the films.

I agree with the estate, why should they trust newline with the Hobbit.

Confirmed:

The deal is done.

Guillermo del Toro will be directing The Hobbit, which will be done as two back-to-back movies.



del Toro previously directed Cronos, Blade 2, Hellboy, Pan's Labyrith, and Hellboy 2, amongst others.

A good choice, I think :)

Re: The Hobbit
 

If I'm reading the following correctly (?) this seems to suggest that they are doing The Hobbit as one film and some sort of 'back ground in-between film' aswell ????

Source for this is taken from Matt's link to who is directing the film:-http://www.empireonline.com/news/story.asp?NID=22440
