Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema have reached an agreement and Jackson will act as executive producer!

Personally, I've always thought his concept and execution of the LOTR Trilogy was first rate and always wished for him to be involved in the Hobbit as well.

Nah, it's cool... sometimes I just miss stuff...

bookworm_020 · 12-18-07, 05:10 PM

Will NEw Zealand be used again for filming??? I am gald that Peter Jackson is involved in the project, which means that WETA will be doing the effects again

You might keep an eye on this site: http://www.theonering.net/ they usually have the scoop on LOTR news and such.

I haven't run across anything yet about the location. I too hope it'll be NZ!

DeepIron · 12-18-07, 05:22 PM

Oh wow! I just caught something I overlooked in the news release, TWO Hobbit films are to be done. The Hobbit and a sequel to the Hobbit.

Dudes! Are we going to see The Simarillion as the sequel? I hope so! The Simarillion is the history of Middle Earth BEFORE the Hobbit!

Sweeeeeeeeeeet

It will be very hard to live up to the mark that the LOTR set.
Though with Jackson at on board things are heading in the right direction.

I doubt they would make the Silmarillion into a movie. It would probably be 7 hours long... I'm pretty sure they're just breaking The Hobbit into two different parts, which is great because it means more details and less things cut out

Thats great news, alot of people here applied for stand ins when Peter was making the LOTR movies - heaps of common kiwi folk were in those movies during the major battles - about 200 real stand ins with the rest computer generated. This time round i aint going to miss the opportunty if The Hobbit is made in NZ im going to put my name down for a part as a 'stand in' If so i'll see if i can convince Peter to have the words Subsim.com embedded into my leather armor or even better engraved on my sword

LOL! Cool!

Don't know who will be playing the younger Bilbo, but Andy Serkis must return as Gollum/Smeagol. Who else could do it with such craven creepiness?

Frankly, I felt Lucas' new Star Wars prequel trilogy, mediorce as it was, suffered even more from being released in the same time span as LOTR. Comparisons were inevitable.
