Wie Variety.com meldet, scheint sich der Kinostart auf Ende 2012 zu verschieben...
[...] Once the script for the second film is in -- Jackson and his longtime collaborators Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens are working on it with Del Toro -- New Line will work up a budget for both films and start casting. New Line exec Michael Disco, who was once Emmerich's assistant, will oversee for the studio.
Horn won't predict when the first of the two "Hobbit" films will be out, but says the most probable scenario would be a release in the fourth quarter of 2012.
"It's a big bet for us. But it's one we think will pay off given the success of 'Lord of the Rings,'" says Emmerich. "This is one of the few movies it feels like people are waiting for."

Video Business reports that Warner Home Video will release "The Lord of the Rings: The Motion Picture Trilogy" will hit Blu-ray on April 6.
The trade says that the nine-disc set will contains the original theatrical versions of the three Peter Jackson-directed Rings films along with more than seven hours of special features. The supplemental package will contain mostly special features that were on the various DVD versions of the movies, including featurettes that were originally on LordoftheRings.net. However, the Blu-ray versions will offer high-def trailers.
The set also will include digital copies of each film and have BD Live access.
The extended versions of the films will bow on Blu-ray at a later date.
Also getting its Blu-ray debut on April 6 is the 1978 animated adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings" directed by Ralph Bakshi.

MTV sprach mit Peter Jackson, u.a. über die wiederkehrenden Charakter-Darsteller in der "Hobbit"-Verfilmung...
[...] "Gandalf, being a 2,000-year-old wizard, is still around and plays a major role in 'The Hobbit,' and we're having Ian McKellen reprise," explained the filmmaker, who is executive-producing the flick and writing the screenplay. "There's a couple of other characters: Elrond, who was played by Hugo Weaving [in the original films], and there's a possibility of Galadriel, who was played by Cate Blanchett." [...]

Bei Heat Vision gibt es ein Interview mit Peter Jackson, dem nichts von einem Verschiebung der "Hobbit"-Verfilmung bekannt ist... Stattdessen wird jetzt fleissig gecastet...
The search for Bilbo Baggins has begun.
Casting on "The Hobbit" begins this week, with wide auditions expected for each part except Gandalf, which is being reserved for Ian McKellen, who played the wizard in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy.
"We’re auditioning for every role," Jackson said in an interview, adding he is a big believer in casting a wide net to better match actors with the roles.
"What we’ve done over the years is discover a lot of interesting actors, like Orlando Bloom (in 'Rings'), Kate Winslet (in 'Heavenly Creatures'), Saoirse Ronan (in 'The Lovely Bones'). So if you start looking and auditioning seriously, it’s amazing what incredible talent you’ll find out there."
Jackson denied that he had settled on any actors besides McKellen and pooh-poohed Web chatter that he has approached James McAvoy for a key role.
"Apart from Ian McKellen, who we obviously want to return as Gandalf, we are not really offering any roles to anybody until we’ve done a casting sweep," Jackson said.
Casting is being handled out of Los Angeles and London.
The filmmaker, whose adaptation of "The Lovely Bones" opens Friday, said although he and director Guillermo del Toro have casting approval on the two "Hobbit" movies, he feels no pressure to cast stars in major roles.
"(These movies) have never been a star-driven vehicle. The star is (author J.R.R.) Tolkien and the world he created. We are not under any pressure. We want to find the right people. Casting someone to portray a hobbit is not as easy as you might imagine. They have to have a particular type of physical appearance and a sensibility. And the same with an elf or a dwarf. These are fantastical characters, but you’ve got to find the right people to play them, the right humans to translate these characters."
Jackson also denied earlier reports that production on "Hobbit" was delayed.
"It’s not," he said, adding that the script for the first movie is completed and that collaborators Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens and del Toro are in the middle of writing the second. They hope to deliver drafts to Warner Bros. and MGM, which are jointly backing the films, around Christmastime.
"We were always planning to shoot around April or May next year, and as far as I’m aware, we’re pretty much on target for that. It depends on how quickly the studio greenlights the film. It’s not in our hands. But as long as we‘re shooting next year, we’re fine."

Wie CS! meldet, scheint sich der Kinostart der "Hobbit"-Verfilmung tatsächlich zu verzögern...
Just this weekend, Peter Jackson revealed that the two "Hobbit" films will now start filming mid-summer 2010 instead of the previously-reported March start. We didn't think this would affect the first film's release of December 2011, but according to TheWrap's WaxWord that might just be the case:
"While it is still possible that it could come out in December 2011, it looks more likely to be 2012," an executive close to the film told the site.
The second film would be pushed back to 2013 then.

Moviereporter.net sprach mit Peter Jackson über die "Hobbit"-Verfilmung...
[...] "Wir werden daraus zwei Filme machen. Das Script zum ersten Film haben wir bereits fertig gestellt. Zurzeit arbeiten wir am Zweiten, dass wir hoffen bis Ende dieses Jahres oder Anfang des nächsten vollendet zu haben. Wenn die Drehbücher vollständig vorliegen, können wir mit der genauen Berechnung des benötigten Budgets beginnen. Wir hoffen Mitte nächsten Jahres mit den Dreharbeiten starten zu können, haben aber leider bisher noch kein grünes Licht vom Studio erhalten." [...]

CS! zitiert aus Interview mit Peter Jackson...
[...] "'The Hobbit' will be two movies and we've written the first script and delivered it to the studio who seem to be happy with it," Jackson said. "We're now halfway through the second script and Philippa, Fran, Guillermo and myself are doing the scripts and having great fun."
He added: "It was an interesting experience because eight or nine years have passed since we wrote the 'Lord of the Rings' screenplays and I was worried it'd be weird or hard or uncomfortable to go back there, but as soon as we started writing the scripts it was fun, actually, and easy."
Jackson had been scouting for locations in New Zealand right before traveling to London. He stressed that there would be continuity between his films and Del Toro's.
"We're writing the screenplays with him, so in terms of the script, there is continuity," he said. "We're writing Ian McKellen's dialogue just the same as we did in 'Lord of the Rings.' But Guillermo, being the director, will obviously take the script and interpret that and shoot his film. So that'll be interesting to see.
"That's actually the reason I wanted him to do it. I felt like I'd be trying to compete with myself and deliberately do things differently, which is not the way I want to work. I want it to be natural."
Jackson mentioned that the "Hobbit" films will not be released in 3D. "Guillermo wants to shoot in 35mm, old-fashioned film, which suits me, because he wants to keep it in the same space as the original trilogy." [...]

TORn berichtet über einen Gastauftritt von GDT...
Guillermo Del Toro paid a visit to our message boards today to confirm that he will definitely be making a cameo appearance in The Hobbit as a small monster:
"I had a hand on the design of the creature and I will personally sculpt the appliances that will be applied on my face and hands. I used to sculpt the creatures for NECROPIA (my FX company) and I miss it a bit. I will have a line or two and die quickly." [...]

CS! berichtet über Viggo Mortensens Beteiligung...
[...] Over a year ago, in fact shortly after del Toro signed on, Variety mentioned that Mortensen had been approached to return, but when ComingSoon.net spoke to Mortensen earlier today, he admitted that the filmmakers are currently more concerned with making the first movie, which would not include his character.
"I think they're just worried about shooting the first part of that movie which doesn't involve my character," Mortensen told us during an interview for his upcoming movie The Road. "My character is around at times--in the middle, but it would only be if they made a second movie or connecting movie that connected 'The Hobbit' to 'The Lord of the Rings' that I might appear, which would be great."
Mortensen did tell us that he would be interested in returning, but as we know, del Toro and Jackson are now planning on just splitting "The Hobbit" into two films and not making the second film a bridge between "The Hobbit" and "The Lord of the Rings."

Empire Online sprach mit John Rhys-Davies über seine mögliche Mitarbeit in der "Hobbit"-Verfilmung...
[...] while Gimli doesn't appear in The Hobbit, his father Gloin does, so we asked him recently whether he'd be back for another go.
"I've already been asked and to be honest with you, I wouldn't. I have already completely ruled it out. There's a sentimental part of me that would love to be involved again. Really I am not sure my face can take that sort of punishment any more."
So not even a small cameo?
"Why would you want to do it if it was just a couple of shots? When you've been 1 of 1, why would you want to be 1 of 13?"
But the production did ask if he'd be interested in returning.
"It was just a gentle "What would you feel about putting it on again?" But no. I'd be interested in trying to create a different type of persona within... the thing. That is challenging as an actor. I'd really prefer to play something quite different. Maybe an Elf. They've got a different set of problems with The Hobbit because you've got 13 dwarves, a whole band of them... You're trying to represent a whole race... You're trying to do for dwarves what The Lord of the Rings did for hobbits. "
Hmm, so Gimli won't be playing his own father, it seems - but he isn't completely ruling out a return to the world of Middle Earth. [...]
