The Hobbit
How did this whole process get started?
That is the first of many questions TheOneRing ask Guillermo del Toro about The Hobbit. While going into detail on his relationship with Peter Jackson, the director also confirms that both Andy Serkis and Ian McKellen are onboard.
Guillermo Del Toro Talks Hobbit
Here is a little snippet of what you can expect from the recent conversation with Guillermo:
Fans are all abuzz about ‘The Second Film’, can you tell some of your plans for it?
GDT: You know, I traveled to New Zealand just a little while ago, and one of the main reasons for going was to sit down and talk about the second film. ‘The Hobbit’, the book, is really one self-contained film, so for the second movie we sat down and worked it out. When we did this we got really excited because this second film is not a ‘tag on’, it’s not ‘filler’, it’s an integral part of telling the story of those 50 years of history lost in the narrative. There will be certain things that we will see from the first movie but from a different point of view, but it will feel like a volume, in the 5 volumes of the entire story. It will not feel like a bridge, I’ve been hearing it called ‘a bridge film’, it’s not, it’s an integral chapter of the story, and I think we’re all on the same page.
