Yes....f*** -.-
And sry when that is really true, then i think Ian McKellen is to old for it too...with 74... >.< It were the best, if they would have made "The Hobbit" together with the other 3 movies...-.- They could had show (like they did) just the first three and now the Hobbit...but what have they done??? Just @#%$! *SRY!!!*      |

I said it before, and I'll say it again ... The best thing they can do, is to make the movie(s) an animation! With the technology we have these days, all of the old cast can be in it! Don't think they'll do it, but I think they should!

WoW! Exactly what I'm thinking about!
Saw Beawolf a couple of days ago, and I never knew before seeing it, that the film is actually animated ... and what animation it is! I hope that the director of The Hobbit, will consider making it the same way! The only thing I didn't like in Beawulf was the moving animation of the horses (they looked little "woody") ... besides that everything else was PERFECT! ----------------------------------------

Hihihi... :D
Awww great you agree with me. ^^ I saw it in the last year at the cinemax and yes youre right. I was soooooo speechless. Some (or many) of the scenes were more than real! O_O Well i hope it too!!! *PRAY* It would be the best for all the fans. Cause as said. If thats right, that the start of the movie will be just in 2010, well...the proper actors/Charas will be defi. missing. -.- But yes yes....*lolololol* i thought the same about the horses..XD But i wonder...cause the can animate Dargons and any other Fantasy-figures/Dinosaurs and and and...but no horses in the right way ? o.0 XD And i think or i hope it too. That at least Ian will spend his voice, as you both said, on it...:( And Gandalf too. |

They certainly will not go into animation.
Remember they were using that sort of technology well before beowulf with GOLLUM. Beowulf just made an entire film out of it. I put my money on it not happening like beowulf. They will want to keep a consitant visual style. They just cant make a trilogy like LOTR and then take a complete visual departure and peter jackson loves his sets and interaction with actors. Sure hopkins look real but there was a lot of emotion lacking. One thing beowulf lacked was emotion and that was all due to the technology not being able to capture the faces. All in all I will hate the hobbit even more if they go down that route.....it will ruin the continuity or consistancy of a saga that was PERFECTLY visually captured in the first place.  --------- I talked to Ian Holm....greatest moment of my life! -----------   www.livejournal.com/aldaboss |

Backing up my idea I think it would be best to start like the fellowship of the ring. With bilbo writing..........have the hobbit start at his writting table and he narrates but that said if they want to keep in touch with the rest of the series then narration will be excluded

Looks like the hobbit could be safe in the hands of one of the best fantasy directors of recent time.....
News Del Toro in Talks to Direct Hobbit Films Source: The Hollywood Reporter January 28, 2008 Guillermo del Toro is in talks to direct back-to-back installments of J.R.R. Tolkien's The Hobbit, which is being co-financed by New Line and MGM, says The Hollywood Reporter. Few filmmakers have the cachet that del Toro has, as well as a deep love for the source material, an assured grasp of fantasy filmmaking and an understanding and command of geek culture as well as its respect. Del Toro has built that goodwill through such films as the Oscar-nominated Pan's Labyrinth, Hellboy, Blade 2 (which was made by New Line) and The Devil's Backbone. Because of other commitments that included The Lovely Bones and Tintin, "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy director Peter Jackson could not take on writing and directing roles, opting instead to become an executive producer with approval over creative elements of the pair of films. Because of the strike, no writer has been hired to adapt Tolkien's children's classic, though that process will be fast-tracked once it's resolved. Del Toro and Jackson will oversee the two films' writing. Principal photography for the films, which will be shot simultaneously, is tentatively set for 2009. The production budget is estimated at $150 million per film. The release of the first film is slated for 2010 and the second in 2011. The Hobbit is centered on Bilbo Baggins and Gandalf who go on a quest to find the treasure of a dragon named Smaug. Tolkien went on to write "The Lord of the Rings" 17 years later. --------- I talked to Ian Holm....greatest moment of my life! ----------- www.livejournal.com/aldaboss |

Alan, you are right about Beowulf! There were not enought feelings involved in the film. Yes the animation was awesome, but it's different when you have real people. The only reason why I want The Hobbit as animation is that we will see Ian as Bilbo again!
How about this new article about "The Hobbit" ... new director ... new cast ... new everything ... 2009 ... 150 + 150 millions dollars ... 2010 ... 2011 ... hmmm ... seriously I don't know anymore ... about mr. Bilbo Baggins ... and his adventures! ----------------------------------------

The director is perfect.
That said the HOBBIT was a lot light hearted compared to the LOTR trilogy.So unless the second film is a very dark concept I will worry. Del Toro is one of the darkest fantasy directors out there. None the less I have faith in him. --------- I talked to Ian Holm....greatest moment of my life! ----------- www.livejournal.com/aldaboss |

Guillermo del Toro's imdb page ...
The Hobbit (2010) (announced) (in talks) The Hobbit 2 (2011) (announced) (in talks)  So, now all we can do is to wait and see who is going to play Bilbo! You are right about del Toro, as being a "dark" fantasy director but I guess he will consider PJ's version of Lord of the Rings, and he won't @#%$ up the films ... ----------------------------------------

Summoner wrote: EXACTLY dear!!! Thats why i find it should still become a animated movie. Cause i remember myself of Anthony in Beowolf and his kind of movements. I really thought it would be the real one. Every lil thing was like i know from him in the way "he" acting there. Besides it would be the best of all for sweetheart Ian!! And to the poster >>Should i be honest? I don´t like it! Its nothings else as an poor imitation of the LOTR with it...*sigh* Also i know the story behind and before etc... Anyhow... But i still think also that, if they start to make the movie in 2010/11 it will be to late for Gandalf/Ian too...-.- He is also not a young man anymore....:S So i will pray again for a wonder!! :( |

Del Toro is going to make a %*$$+%% masterpiece, I have no doubt in my mind. People will go it never lived up to LOTR trilogy but its not supposed to.
ANYWAY Mckellen is in, serkis is in and Ian Holm..... well read for yourself "He will be involved in some manner, I'm sure. But at his age ... it's too early to tell. We are just in the early stages. It's too early to make commitments of that sort. We prefer to let the screenplay and the way the character comes to life guide us in the casting. I have many people in mind. Anything [else] I say will be used against me in a court of law." --------- I talked to Ian Holm....greatest moment of my life! ----------- www.livejournal.com/aldaboss |

Ian will be involved ... that's the NEWS we've been waiting for! !@$%ING AWESOME ! Not sure if it is "too early" for anything but I am sure
that they have to start looking for Ian's younger look-a-like ! Alan, you idea might be happening ... The films begin with Bilbo - narrating, telling, or
even writing his story about his adventure with Gandalf, the dwarfs, Gollum, and Smaug
 Can't wait to read / hear more about that! Oh, and Clarice ->
the poster is FAKE ... don't worry about it yet!
Take care ppl ! BTW: Colored my hair BLACK today ... lol ... love it

Got some news about the film from IMDB : http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000453/news#ni0242136 ...
McAvoy Tipped For Hobbit Role
From wenn.com | See recent WENN news 29 May 2008 12:09 AM, PDT Scottish actor James McAvoy has been tipped to take the lead role in the new movie version of Lord Of The Rings prequel The Hobbit. J.R.R. Tolkien's novel is set to be turned into a major blockbuster under the direction of Guillermo del Toro and filming is due to begin in New Zealand later this year. Sir Ian McKellen will reprise his role as Gandalf and McAvoy is rumoured to be the favourite to take the lead role of hobbit Bilbo Baggins. The character was played by Ian Holm in the previous films of the fantasy franchise, but he is due to be replaced by a high profile star for the new movie. A source tells British newspaper the Daily Express, "A number of names have been doing the rounds, including Daniel Radcliffe and Jack Black, but James (McAvoy) is the one the film's bosses really want. "They're expected to have talks soon so hopefully it could be confirmed in the not too distant future." And director del Toro adds, "I can tell you it's down to a few names that we all agree upon. For our first choice, completely magically we all have the same name." MY COMMENT : Not sure what to think about this guy playing Bilbo! I've only seen him in Narnia as the Goat-man ... can't remember any other film with him. Maybe with the appropriate make-up he might be a good hobbit. This guy is definitely better than Harry Pot-head, and Jack Black! What were they thinking ?!?!?!? Asking those two to play BILBO ? Jack Black isn't for this role, and also he was in The Fellowship of the Ring, so he is OUT ... oh, I even don't want to comment about Harry !

I have actually nearly won a bet. Since it was announced me and a mate bet each other who would play him, my suggestion was James McAvoy. Honestly the man is
the most talented actors out there. I have seen most of his film and its to me the best of his generation.Atonement was a brilliant performence for him and
with WANTED coming out with Angelina Jolie he will be surely a household name.
Now since all the faffle has started I have been quiet, mainly due to a busy life here in sydney but here are my thoughts. Whilst James is tipped he will not be cast till the script is finished which will be in a few months. They need to build a younger bilbo up.....how he was when he was younger is something they are still working on will be for awhile. They have their ideas for the character but its not final. Now YOU ALL OWE ME MONEY if my idea is coming true with Ian coming as an old bilbo and writing the book. I also think there could be a chance of him being in the second film as it bridges the gap between the fellowship and hobbit. If Jack Black is cast I will not go see this film. He is a horrible choice. Only thing he has going for him is being fat and somewhat comical. Jackson has worked with him before so thats where my fear lies. Summoner, unless I was completely blind who was Jack Black in the fellowship???? Daniel Radcliffe is WAAAAAAAAY too young for the role. Going back to McAvoy I would be happy with him as the lead. He has the right age for it, looks kinda like Ian when he was younger, has a nice resembalance to Elijah Wood and since they are relatives in the movie that is perfect. Only thing that pissed me off was the line in the article saying "due to be replaced by a high profile star" cunts, ian is high profile. To be honest that line pissed me off for several reasons, mainly because the beauty of the fellowship and the whole trilogy was having pretty much unknowns for the films. I dont think McAvoy is HUGE yet and still has yet to shine and I think this will push him to stardom but I have the rest of the cast is unkowns. Who was orlando bloom before LOTR? Now,all in all, Ian better appear one way or another and its McAvoy or an unknown for Bilbo. Remember Bilbo purest will be pissed regardless but I think DEL TORO is a genius and peter will be heavily involved. It was said in the webcast that IAN WOULD BE INVOLVED IN ONE FORM OR ANOTHER. My aussie visa runs out in November, I think I may be going to NEW ZEALAND to try and get a job as an extra!!!!! --------- I talked to Ian Holm....greatest moment of my life! ----------- www.livejournal.com/aldaboss |

Alan, you are absolutely right about that Ian's replacement should be someone "unknown"! #### the "high profile star" nonsense! I want
to see someone who reminds of Ian in his youger years, and not to see someone that I have seen in 50 other movies!
As I said before, McAvoy is a "new" actor for me! Maybe I'd seen other films with him, but as far as I can remember, only Narnia comes in my mind. Later on, I might check out some of his films, if he is casted as Bilbo of course! Jack Black is maybe the worst choice for Bilbo! Still can't imagine that someone would think that he should play Bilbo! As you said the only roles that Black should play is of a lazy fat drunk, high, #@+!*+-up fat man doing stupid things! When I said that he was in the FOTR, I ment this $@+% -> Fellowship of the Ring : Eastern Egg! Daniel Radcliffe - Harry Potter and nothing ELSE ! The information we have till today is only rumors, and nothing else! Casting BILBO BAGGINS is a responsible and hard task because Ian's performance in the LOTR was abosutely perfect and stepping into his shoes will be a hard task for anyone! Alan, I hope that all of yours suppositions will become true ! P.S. Being an extra in "The Hobbit" sound good but being in Hobbiton sounds better
