The Hobbit is coming finallly

[Dan]

In my opinion, The Hobbit is the worst of them, but it is still a great book, with a light story, less epic than the other books.

It was meant for his kids. It's a neat funny little story if you read it with the right kind of expectations.

And since I just go to those movies to put a visual on the stories I read, I'm going to enjoy the 3D on this one.

Oh I didn't recognize that The Hobbit will be in 3D - hurray!

Oh I didn't recognize that The Hobbit will be in 3D - hurray! 

Real 3D with 3D cameras. Not post-processing BS 3D that kills the picture quality.

Oh good we won't have a repeat of Clash of the titans

I call a Fujifilm W3 mine, so I appreciate the real3D technqiue  , as long as they spend enough attention to the precision.

i couldn't be more thrilled that peter jackson is doing this (he needs something to make up for the lovely bones).  plus, i think they'll still be using guillermo del toro's designs from when he was slated to direct.  it's going to be awesome.

[Wolfboy]

it's going to be awesome.

I do not doubt that a second!

This is good news.

Little interesting info I had watched with interview.  Originally he was going to make Hobbit but when studio heard, they wanted him to do the Lord of the Rings instead.

And for people who think hobbit is worse.  Do realize it was his first book that he originaly designed for his kids.  From there we created what we know as the Tolken universe.

Filming started! And some pictures of the house.

[Daft]

Wow, Peter Jackson lost a lot of weight, huh?

[mikeinchch]

After unions almost forcing the production off NZ's shores, Peter Jackson recovering from a perforated ulcer, and  I'm glad to see this is finally proceeding.  It just wouldn't be right being made anywhere else.  Or directed by anyone else in my opinion.

I'm still waiting for that live action Evangelion film they were talking about making.  Though it is a bit of an iffy proposition giving anime a real life treatment.
