'The Hobbit' still waiting for the green light
It's still premature to be discussing who's going to play Bilbo it seems. Here's what Peter Jackson said at ComicCon:
Quote:
I'm not surprised, really. Pre-production takes a long time and is the most difficult part about making a film. And figuring out a budget is the worst. I'm sure The Hobbit will happen, but considering that the first script hasn't even been completed yet, it'll be a while before production even begins. Who knows how long the production will take, and then there's post, which involves a lot more work than the actual filming. In my opinion, we'll be lucky if we see The Hobbit released before 2012. Things may be moving slowly, but I'd rather have that than see it rushed. Anyway, how many years did it take to make LotR from the initial pre-production? On the bright side, construction has begun on Hobbiton. Which I find a bit confusing since the film hasn't officially been greenlit. But then again, I'm not going to complain...

I'm rather skeptical. Presumably Elrond, Galadriel, and Saruman will be worked in (will Christopher Lee still be too ticked off with his character's treatment to reprise his role?). And, of course, he could age Aragorn about 10 years to have Arwen and Aragorn appear. And most important, what will his Hitchcockish cameos be? One of the Master of Laketown's lackeys?
