The Hobbit Poster Revealed, Begins production in 2010
http://www.movieweb.com/news/NEEuDFGIuonRIJ
During a recent live chat for the
Hellboy II: The Golden Army
DVD
and Blu-ray releases, director Guillermo del Toro revealed some new details about
The Hobbit
production schedule.
Thanks to
BilboHobbit.com
for the transcription.
Universal announced a pretty busy slate for you after
The Hobbit
. Will we see a Hellboy 3?
Guillermo del Toro:
If its up to me- yes!! But it is a corporate decision and regimes change very rapidly at these studios.
There any professionals who worked with you on Hellboy II that will be joining you on the Hobbit?
Guillermo del Toro:
Hopefully Mignola, Barlowe, Spectral Motion, Guillermo Navarro and others...
Will you be using Danny Elfman as a composer again on future projects?
Guillermo del Toro:
Absolutely, but not until after
The Hobbit
films.
Do you think filming Hellboy II helped prepare you for filming
The Hobbit
?
Guillermo del Toro:
Technically, yes- but that's not the challenge in
The Hobbit
. The challenge is to create and expand a massive universe and be as immersive as the Trilogy was. To approach Tolkien's book with the right mixture of reverence, enthusiasm and invention.
Will here be any cool creature in
The Hobbit
like in Hellboy II?
Guillermo del Toro:
Many many more and we will be pushing the goblin kindgom. we will be pushing smaug, the spiders of mirkwood. we will be pushing them to the edge of technology where we will fuse animatronics and cgi into a seamless new art form in creating creatures, i think.
Do you plan to use any particular effects or techniques in
The Hobbit
that were used in Hellboy II?
Guillermo del Toro:
Well, yes, but used in a different way. You will see some mind-boggling mixture of CGI / Puppetry like never before. The demarcation of where one technique ends and the other begins will NOT be as clean as in HBII or BLADE II or PAN'S LABYRINTH. I am going to push further than ever on both fronts.
When does filming for
The Hobbit
begin?
Guillermo del Toro:
It will begin in 2010 and we will shoot for about 370 days or so...
