Waarvoor gaat Gandalf met die 13 dwergen eigelijk naar bilbo en niet naar bijv. ze buurman om op avontuur te gaan?
Omdat Bilbo een drang naar avonturen had, terwijl andere hobbits liever hun eigen ding deden. De hobbits hadden ook weinig op van de rest van midden-aarde. Correct me if I am wrong.

http://www.slashfilm.com/(...)line-for-the-hobbit/quote:Guillermo del Toro in line for The Hobbit
Spider-man and Evil Dead director Sam Raimi is expected to helm the upcoming Peter Jackson-produced Hobbit films, after making his return to horror with Drag Me to Hell (more on that later). But what if Raimi and New Line can’t ink a deal? Pan’s Labyrinth director Guillermo del Toro is said to be in consideration for the upcoming JRR Tolkien adaptation and sequel.
“I’ve heard some rumblings, but nothing official. I don’t want to think about it because it’s such an eventuality,” Guillermo del Toro told EW. “It’s the only Tolkien book I read. I tried my best to read the Lord of the Rings, the trilogy. I could not. I could not. They were very dense. And then one day, I bought The Hobbit. I read it and I loved it. So it would be a privilege. But listen, I wish I knew.”
Anyone who has seen del Toro’s Labyrinth has an idea of what Guillermo is capable of. Apparently Guillermo met with Jackson last year, and has been dying to work with the filmmaker and his New Zealand-based WETA workshop.
”I met Peter and Fran when we were trying to do Halo. I think what they’re doing in New Zealand is amazing. What they’re doing, in terms of the way they approach filmmaking — the way I see it is, it’s Hollywood the way God intended it. Because it’s a filmmaker’s dream and a filmmaker’s facility. So it’s heaven. The question is: Will I go to heaven? I have no idea.”
Children of Men director Alfonso Cuaron is also a name being thrown around Hollywood. But as of right now no one is officially signed on to the films, which will be shot back to back. The first film will be an adaptation of The Hobbit, while the second film will serve as a prequel which bridges the gap between The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings trilogy, using Tolkien’s lengthy appendices as source material.
Raimi’s announcement might seem like very odd timing, but truth is that the directing gig will be in post production before pre-production on The Hobbit films begins. Jackson and his life/creative partner Fran Walsh have yet to start on the screenplays (and won’t officially be able to until the strike ends), but New Line is hoping to enter into pre-production by 2009 for a 2010 and 2011 release. Jackson, who is currently shooting The Lovely Bones, will be unavailable until February 2008.
Drag Me to Hell is a supernatural thriller he wrote with his brother Ivan, about an unwitting recipient of a supernatural curse. Producer Rob Tapert describes the movie as “a wild ride with all the chills and spills that ‘Evil Dead’ delivered, without relying on the excessive violence of that film.”
Wij hebben gezien dat del Toro prachtige fantasiewerelden neer kan zetten.
Typisch. Ik vraag me af of hij uberhaupt ooit wel iets leest dat verder gaat dan een sprookje?quote:I tried my best to read the Lord of the Rings, the trilogy. I could not. I could not. They were very dense. And then one day, I bought The Hobbit. I read it and I loved it.
Ik vond Pan's Labyrinth overigens geweldig.

Ik kwam er eerst ook niet door, door de boeken. Pas toen ik de films had gezien heb ik de boeken gelezen. En toen heb ik ze echt verslonden. Misschien ga ik binnenkort wel weer eens opnieuw beginnen.
Aragorn is geboren in het jaar 01/03/2931 (3e era), Bilbo steelt de ring in 2941 (3e era), LOTR speelt zich af in 3018 (3e era)
als Viggo als Aragorn voorkomt in The Hobbit zijn ze echt fout bezig
het zou wel jammer zijn om na een succesvolle LotR verfilming The Hobbit te doen mislukken

In the Hobbit komt Aragorn misschien niet voor, maar ik neem aan dat hij in de sequel wel een rol zal spelen.

Waarom zouden ze anders de moeite hebben gedaan om alle rimpels weg te trekken bij Holm voor die ene scene die ook in de gewone versie zit . Ten tijde van The Hobbit was Bilbo ongeveer even oud als Frodo ten tijde van TLOTR...vind jij dat Bilbo en Frodo er aan het begin van The Fellowship even oud uitzien? 
Ga jij mij nou niets vertellen over Tolkien
We zijn dan bijna 10 jaar na TLOTR...Ian Holm kan dan echt geen Bilbo van 51 spelen
Neen, Shia LaBeouf zie ik op dit moment als de beste kandidaat om de jonge Bilbo te spelen.

Ik las net op www.TheOneRing.net dat Peter Jackson ooit heeft gezegd dat hij het liefst zoveel mogelijk bekende gezichten uit LOTR in The Hobbit wil hebben. Als je de tijdslijn van het boek zou aanhouden zou Aragorn 10 jaar oud zijn op het moment dat The Hobbit afspeelt. Hou je de tijdlijn uit de film aan, waar Aragorn zegt dat hij 87 is, dan zou hij wel een rol kunnen spelen. The Hobbit speelt 60 jaar voor LOTR af.

Stomme stakingquote:Guillermo del Toro regisseert 'The Hobbit'
Uitgegeven: 28 januari 2008 14:46
Laatst gewijzigd: 28 januari 2008 14:50
AMSTERDAM - Guillermo del Toro is in vergevorderde besprekingen om de film 'The Hobbit' te regisseren. De maker van de veelgeprezen fantasiefilm 'Pan's labyrinth' zou volgend jaar aan de slag gaan, weet het Amerikaanse filmvakblad The Hollywood Reporter.
'The Hobbit' vertelt over de geschiedenis van voor de beroemde trilogie 'The Lord of the Rings'. De verfilming van het boek van J.R.R. Tolkien zal in twee delen worden uitgebracht, maar wel in één keer worden opgenomen.
Jackson
De drie delen van 'The Lord of the Rings', die miljarden euro's hebben opgebracht, werden geregisseerd door Peter Jackson. Hij zou aanvankelijk ook 'The Hobbit' maken, maar belandde met filmproducenten New Line en MGM in een dispuut over de winstverdeling.
In december wisten de partijen tot een overeenkomst te komen.
Staking
Wegens andere verplichtingen kon Jackson de regie van de twee films uiteindelijk niet op zich nemen, maar tekende hij als uitvoerend producent. Door de langlopende staking van scenarioschrijvers in Hollywood, is er nog geen begin gemaakt met het script.
Budget
Het budget voor elk afzonderlijk deel is naar schatting ruim honderd miljoen euro. De eerste film wordt in 2010 verwacht. Een jaar later moet het tweede deel van 'The Hobbit' in de bioscoop draaien.

Nieuws van Del Toro:
There was a lot of excitement back in January when it was announced that New Line Cinema was moving forward with plans for two films based on J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" which Peter Jackson would produce and Guillermo del Toro ("Pan's Labyrinth," "Hellboy") was the favorite to direct.
Then of course the Tolkien Estate filed a lawsuit against New Line Cinema, whilst New Line found itself being folded back into its parent company Time Warner. That left many asking what would happen to the films and are they still going ahead?
del Toro himself spoke with TheOneRing.net about that today - "At this stage anything I say is of no consequence for I am not yet signed to do "The Hobbit." Negotiations advance but are still ongoing."
Despite the legal issues to be sorted, word is that Warners is very keen to move forward with these films. del Toro himself is taking the job very seriously - "All I can say is that I am diligently going through all Tolkien material related to Middle-earth but only as a way of bridging a gap in my reading. I still respond the strongest to 'The Hobbit,' but as an avid reader of Mythology I find a lot of his other writings fascinating. A perfect Cosmology forged from very eclectic sources."
Nieuws van Ian McKellen:
Here is one of our first confirmations that Sir Ian McKellen is ready to reprise his role as Gandalf in the upcoming Peter Jackson Hobbit movies and in fact he says that he is the ONLY one that should play Gandalf. - - - Legendary actor SIR IAN McKELLEN is poised to revive his role as wizard GANDALF in the movie adaptations of J.R.R. TOLKIEN's novel THE HOBBIT - insisting he's the obvious candidate for the job.
McKellen, who has appeared as Gandalf in all three Lord Of The Rings films, has made no secret of his desire to land the part - even though Peter Jackson will not be directing.
Speaking exclusively to WENN, the veteran actor admitted he could not think of anyone better to play the role than himself. He said, "I certainly hope it's true - have you got anybody else who you think should be doing it?" McKellen isn't the only actor praying for a phone call to confirm his involvement in the Lord Of The Rings prequels - Elijah Wood is also desperate to revive his role as Frodo Baggins.

It's finally official folks, Director Guillermo del Toro ("Hellboy," "Pan's Labyrinth") has signed to direct New Line and MGM's "The Hobbit" and its sequel. According to Variety, the announcement came came Thursday afternoon from executive producers Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, New Line president Toby Emmerich, and newly named MGM chief Mary Parent.
Del Toro's will move to New Zealand for the next four years to work with Jackson and his Wingnut and Weta production teams.
He'll also direct the two films back to back with the sequel dealing with the 60-year period between "The Hobbit" and 2001's "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring".
The studios have not given a start date on production and don't yet have a script. It's widely expected that the "LOTR" scripting team of Jackson, Walsh and Philippa Boyens will collaborate with Del Toro.
The general thought is that they will start shooting next year and release the films in late 2011 and 2012.

In an exclusive interview with TheOneRing.net, director Guillermo del Toro talks about his plans for the upcoming film version of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit".
Prep on "The Hobbit" will kick off this Summer, including the 'reforestation' of The Shire sets to look as much like they did in 'Rings' as possible.
He's already been in contact with the likes of Andy Serkis, Sir Ian McKellen, Howard Shore, John Howe, Gino Acevedo, and Richard Taylor in regards to the film to "ensure that whatever we do we keep continuity with the other films".
del Toro proudly says that he'll use as much practical filming as possible - "I would like to avoid is the recreation of the natural environments in CG, I don't like doing that. The movie is essentially a journey movie, I think you need to use locations as much as possible."
He's also very vehement about the second film, which details events between "The Hobbit" and "The Fellowship of the Ring", will not be an opportunistic grab - "This second film is not a 'tag on', it's not 'filler', it's an integral part of telling the story of those 50 years of history lost in the narrative. There will be certain things that we will see from the first movie but from a different point of view, but it will feel like a volume, in the five volumes of the entire story."

Pre-production is about to get under way on the two "The Hobbit" movies says Variety.
Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens are expected to write the scripts under the direction of Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro.
Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn), Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and Andy Serkis (Gollum) have already been in contact in regards to starring in the film, the three "Lord of the Rings" characters playing important parts in the story.
Director Guillermo del Toro says "I am all for keeping the actors who originated the parts, as much as availability and their willingness will allow."

Over the weekend, producer Peter Jackson and director Guillermo del Toro answered several questions during an online chat about their upcoming film versions of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" and the proposed sequel.
Key bits of information garnered from the chat, a full transcript of which can be found at WetaNZ, include:
- Scripting and early conceptual designs will be worked on for the rest of this year.
- Pre-production will take place throughout 2009 and shooting will happen back-to-back throughout 2010 with a short break between films. The first film will hit cinemas in December 2011.
- The second film doesn't have a title yet and won't until after scripting is complete. Rather than focusing on the years between the two tales, it will cover a specific incident that took place between them.
- Casting will not begin until next year, however all the original 'Rings' cast members that can be brought back will be.
- The films will be shot in 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a PG-13 rating. There are no plans for a 3D release yet.
- A lot of the original production team will be brought back, as will composer Howard Shore.
- Ian Holm will participate somehow, even though Bilbo will be recast to reflect the character's younger age.
- del Toro's frequent collaborator Ron Perlman will have a role.
- Location shooting throughout New Zealand will take place with Hobbiton to be rebuilt bigger than before. It's unlikely any locations outside NZ will be used.
- A Blu-ray release of the 'Rings' trilogy is in the works, but NOT this year.

- The films will be shot in 2.35:1 aspect ratio with a PG-13 rating. There are no plans for a 3D release yet.
- A lot of the original production team will be brought back, as will composer Howard Shore.
- Ian Holm will participate somehow, even though Bilbo will be recast to reflect the character's younger age.
- del Toro's frequent collaborator Ron Perlman will have a role.
- Location shooting throughout New Zealand will take place with Hobbiton to be rebuilt bigger than before. It's unlikely any locations outside NZ will be used.
- A Blu-ray release of the 'Rings' trilogy is in the works, but NOT this year.

Written by IESB Staff
Sunday, 25 May 2008
Christopher Tolkien, son to famous author J.R.R. Tolkien, is 83 years old and doesn't like Hollywood.
He was against the making of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy (friends say they still don't think he ever watched the films) and is at it again now that The Hobbit and its sequel are on the fast track to the big screen.
He is asking for "one last crusade" in the long-running court battle he has going with the producers of LOTR. Apparently, he plans to ask a Californian judge to back his claim that he can "terminate" film rights to the Hobbit in a hearing on June 6th. Witnesses say he "is furious with New Line studio."
A report at the Times Online says this news "comes just weeks before carpenters are due to begin work in New Zealand on the sets for the latest Middle-earth epic." If anything, they may start work on rebuilding the Hobbiton film set, Jackson said in the online chat yesterday that Hobbiton would be built up bigger and better than it had ever been in the LOTR, so that would be the only "set" that be worked on already considering pre-production work on the films will begin in 2009 and the films will be shot back-to-back, beginning in 2010.
The Hobbit is set to be released in December 2011 and the second as yet untitled film in December 2012.
Sources say Sir Ian Holm, who played the hobbit Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings, is expected to narrate, which I am really not sure about considering his age, but it could happen.
Chris Tolkien heeft voor Tolkien-fans voor een hoop mooie dingen gezorgd, maar het gezeik van de Tolkien-erven over de films begint echt m'n strot uit te komen. Financieel en qua PR zijn de films het beste wat hen zijn overkomen, en het creatieve resultaat viel bij het overgrote merendeel van de fans ook nog eens in goede aarde.

Over the weekend, producer Peter Jackson and director Guillermo del Toro answered several questions during an online chat about their upcoming film versions of J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit" and the proposed sequel.
Key bits of information garnered from the chat, a full transcript of which can be found at WetaNZ, include:
- Scripting and early conceptual designs will be worked on for the rest of this year.
- Pre-production will take place throughout 2009 and shooting will happen back-to-back throughout 2010 with a short break between films. The first film will hit cinemas in December 2011.

Volgens een of ander Brits flutblad zou het gaan om James McAvoy. Lijkt me wel een realistische naam waar ze allemaal enthousiast over zouden kunnen zijn.quote:As part of an exclusive chat with Del Toro for the next issue of Empire, on sale Friday, we spoke to him further about many details, including the casting of Bilbo.
"We are writing based on [Ian Holm's performance], but other than that, we have ideas [of who could play him]," Del Toro told us. "I can tell you that it's down to a few names that we all agree upon. And that our first choice...completely, magically, we said the same name. All of us!"
Ik zou het iig. wel goed nieuws vinden, want McAvoy is toch één van mijn favoriete jonge acteurs aan het worden
.Maar het zou dus ook een wild (en fout) gerucht kunnen zijn
.
The average burglar breaks in and leaves clues everywhere. But not me. I'm completely clueless.
Wat mij betreft krijgt hij gelijk en wordt er niet verfilmd, tenslotte is die stichting nog altijd de uiteindelijke rechthebbende voor nieuw materiaal, je mag niet zomaar straffeloos een compleet verhaal gaan uitbrengen dat in Midden Aarde afspeelt en dat is nou net wat ze met die tweede film gaan doen.quote:Op dinsdag 27 mei 2008 21:29 schreef Hankster het volgende:

En qua geld zal hij zich écht geen zorgen hebben hoeven te maken hoor. Ik denk níet dat dat een rol speelt of zou spelen ook al had hij slechts een uitkering.

The Daily Express reports that Scottish hunk and acclaimed 29-year-old thespian James McAvoy ("Atonement," "The Last King of Scotland") is the favourite to play the lead role of Bilbo Baggins in Guillermo del Toro's "The Hobbit".
According to the dubious British tabloid, "A number of names have been doing the rounds, including Daniel Radcliffe and Jack Black, but James (McAvoy) is the one the film's bosses really want. They're expected to have talks soon so hopefully it could be confirmed in the not too distant future."
In a chat with Empire earlier this week, director Guillermo del Toro said that he and producer Peter Jackson have a short list of names in regards to who they'd like to play Bilbo, and their first choice is someone both he and Jackson immediately agreed upon.
Speculation about the role will continue for a while though as del Toro has already warned that it'll be "at least a year before we announce any casting."
The 5'7 Glaswegian McAvoy will next be seen in this Summer's action vehicle "Wanted".
