New 'Hobbit' Film Rumour
Let’s hope that it’s just a rumour, and nothing more:
A website called MarketSaw reports that Peter Jackson is confirmed to be directing two films based on ‘The Hobbit’ and both will be presented in 3D format. Then, after The Hobbit films are released (2010,2011 respectively), the original trilogy will be converted to 3D after the release of the two Hobbit Films.
The author of the web post sends along this excerpt from an e-mail between poster and his (possibly incorrect) source:
“No casting info yet. But they are looking forward to bringing back Sir Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis and Hugo Weaving. For these 3 actors, the chances are really good. I’m not sure about the release date, but I think 2010 for the first film, and 2011 for second, is what they are trying to get into everybody’s calendar. So it would make sense with my information of following with the converted Trilogy in 2012 - 2014. That is all happening, but there must be said, that there is a possibility of +/- 1 to 2 years to the whole thing. If I get to know more, I try to tell ya.”
However, TheOneRing.net states that MarketSaw is not an entirely reliable website:
“If we judge this website based on the amount of junk advertising, we can pretty much write this off as an unconfirmed pipe-dream.”
I sure hope they’re right. The only thing worse than a non-Jackson Hobbit film is a Hobbit film in 3-D.
