[anaithis]

Since yesterday it's officially official!!! The man himself, Peter Jackson, and the woman herself, Fran Walsh, together with some executives from New Line and MGM announced that Guillermo del Toro is the director of the two new LotR movies, "The Hobbit" and the second movie, which will deal with the 50 years between "The Hobbit" and "The Fellowship

YES, YES, YESSSS! *orgasms* :D

This is perfect. The same wonderful team, the same actors and a fantastic director. That leaves nothing to be desired. Weeeeeeh!

Do they already know who's going to play young Bilbo?

[anaithis]

Theeeheeee.. *multiorgasms* ;D

Yes, I'm so relieved and happy at the same time. I can see so many similarities between PJ and del Toro. (And I'm not speaking about the outer appearance.. *g* Del Toro looks like PJ in his LotR times.)
I haven't heard anything about who's going to play Bilbo. They need someone with Ian Holm's charisma and talent and I think that will be a tough and crucial decision.

WEEEEEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YES! I'm so excited!!!!!! In PJ I trust too ^_^ If he chose del Toro then he's the man. I like Guillermo too, I think he's a wonderful director. I've tried to watch "Pan's Labyrinth" but haven't had the chance (always something happens) and I really want to see it. I have read nothing but praises for it and del Toro. I saw the trailers when they first were aired and it was one of those "must watch" in my list.

But back to "The Hobbit" yaaaay *jumps up and down like crazy" oh my Hobbitsssssssssssssssss, they're baaaack!!!!!!!!!!! And they won't change the team! (they better not *glares dangerously in the direction of MGM*). Oh it feels like Christmas already. That picture is just too adorable.

P.S.: I think Guillermo del Toro directed HP's "The Prisioner of Azkaban", right? I liked it, specially the direction, it had something different from the previous two.

P.P.S.: Looking forward to your pictures :D

It was the other really good Mexiacan director, Alfonso Cuarón, but they are not too different in their style. It was the first movie of the series I liked because it finally didn't look a) American b) unnatural c) not dark enough. ^_^

Guillermo del Toro is so the Peter-type! *g* Their style, impressive visuals and this sense for the absurd and disturbing that is beautiful at the same time is so similar. Perfect choice from Peter there I think. Awww.. it's going to be brilliant, I am sure about that. Can't wait!

*totally agrees* I couldn't have said it better!!! ;D

[anaithis]

YES! I'm so excited!!!!!!
Theeeheeeee.. I can see/read that.. and I love it!!! ;D *huggles*

I think "Pan's Labyrinth" belongs on every "must watch" list and I wholeheartedly recommend it. But it's far from being lighthearted and not easy to watch..
"The Prisoner of Azkaban" was made by Alfonso Cuarón, another great director. Both of them, del Toro, Cuarón and Inárritu (Babel) as the third are the famous trio of directors from Mexico.

Star Trek 11 and The Hobbit .. great movies to look forward to. :D

Klasse! Ich freue mich total. Allein schon, weil es so mehr Gandalf und Gollum gibt! Super, dass Ian McKellen und Andy Serkis dabei sind. Könnte mir niemand anderen für die Rollen vorstellen, besonders als Gandalf! Auch del Toro ist der Richtige. Ich mochte den Hobbit zwar nie sooo gerne, aber als Film (oder besser 2!) kommt er bestimmt gut! Wer wohl Bilbo spielt?

Wie war's auf der FedCon? Warte schon gespannt auf deinen Bericht!:-)

[anaithis]

Zumindest mündlich haben McKellen und Serkis schon zugesichert, dass sie ihre Rollen wieder spielen wollen, aber Verträge gibt es noch keine. Aber wir denken da mal ganz positiv, dass nichts und niemand dazwischen kommen wird. ;) Den "Hobbit" mag ich sehr und habe ihn sogar öfter gelesen als den "Herr der Ringe", wobei auch da die alte Übersetzung besser ist als die neue

*bounces*

*group bouncing* ;D

Finally a new movie event to look forward to. Weee!
(Hmmm. Should read some Hobbit!Slash again, after all there's almost no new Jens fic around right now anyway *g*)

[anaithis]

Weeee, and for me there are even two new movies to look forward to, actually three.. *g* "The Hobbit", the sequel, and Star Trek 11. *bounces*

[kisuuna]

Ooooh! Who's playing? The Picard crew? ^^

(Favourite Data quote: "Null Komma Sechs Acht Sekunden!" *g*)

[anaithis]

Die "Picard-Crew" ist leider in Rente gegangen, nachdem der letzte Film "Nemesis" nicht besonders gut angekommen ist. Stattdessen gibt es eine Neuauflage, bzw. Wiederbelebung der Classic-Crew, also Kirk, Spock, Pille, etc.. Mit neuen Schauspielern in den Rollen meiner Lieblingslegenden und als Trekkie-Urgestein sehe ich dem Ganzen mit einem lachenden und einem weinenden Auge entgegen.
Aber sie haben sich bekannte und beliebte Schauspieler geholt. Karl Urban (Eomer aus LotR) als Pille, Zachary Quinto (Sylar aus Heroes) als Spock *schluck*, Simon Pegg (Hot Fuzz) als Scottie. .. (Ich weiß gar nicht, ob du so mit Star Trek vertraut bist, dass dir die Rollennamen was sagen..?? ;) )

Das gesamte Fandom ist jedenfalls sehr gespannt. Allerdings wurde der Start verschoben und der Film kommt erst Mai 2009 in die Kinos. :/

PS: Data/Brent Spiner war auch auf der FedCon am letzten Wochenende .. der Mann ist so klasse und zum Schlapplachen lustig!
