I still can't read that without seeing it as The Onering, like something that oners.

Apparently, it'll cost 350 million Euros to film, will be in 3D and in two parts. First part in cinemas in December 2012, second part in December 2013. (was in a Belgian newspaper today, am too lazy to find english source :-) )

Simon Pegg's interview in the Observer today had him casually dropping the fact that Martin Freeman has been cast as Bilbo. Anyone heard anything about this?

good bilbo, i'll give them that much.

Perhaps some studio bigwig made him do it, but Pegg retracted that via Twitter.

how will he top the lovely bones? i'd rather it be stop motion animation like 'mary and max' or 'chicken run'
― keythhtyek, Monday, 18 October 2010 01:45 (thirteen years ago) link
chicken run style hobbit would be the best thing ever. especially if the hobbits were chicken hobbits.

Richard Armitage is a hell of an actor. amazing in the bbc version of north and south.

There's a whole bunch of crap going on down here in NZ at the mo about this project - may be moved from NZ - it's all getting a bit bizarre. This pretty much covers the situation if anyone's interested http://publicaddress.net/default,hardnews.sm
― Bill E, Friday, 22 October 2010 03:36 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah seems like the final hurdle is whether or not it actually is filmed in NZ.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 22 October 2010 03:37 (thirteen years ago) link
you know what? i will probably not see these cuz of the 3d. it's more expensive and gives me a headache.

3D movies are always released in 2D versions as well, you know!

I'm fine with the choice for Bilbo, wasn't Jack Black rumoured for it once? That would've been terrible!

I'm mainly happy for Tim. Should keep Dawn in art equipment for a while.

maybe the two worst-cast characters in the lotr movies.
Or maybe all the elves were terribly cast. Yeah that could be it

I had a dream last night that Peter Jackson decided to do Lucas-style re-releases of all the LOTR movies that included new footage of new characters, a corsair played by Nic Cage in an eyepatch and an evil witch played by Andie McDowell.
