>YES, endlich! Darauf hab ich so lange gewartet :) > >[i:Source: Variety >April 25, 2008 > >Guillermo del Toro has officially signed on to direct the New Line/MGM's The Hobbit and its sequel, reports Variety. > >The widely expected announcement came Thursday afternoon jointly from executive producers Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh, New Line president Toby Emmerich, and Mary Parent, newly named chief of MGM's Worldwide Motion Picture Group. > >Del Toro's moving to New Zealand for the next four years to work with Jackson and his Wingnut and Weta production teams. He'll direct the two films back to back, with the sequel dealing with the 60-year period between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, the first of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. (You can read what he told ComingSoon.net about the preparation he'll be doing for this in our exclusive interview here.) > >New Line is overseeing development and will manage production. Both films are being co-produced and co-financed by New Line Cinema and MGM, with Warner Bros. distributing domestically and MGM handling international. > >Del Toro won't leave for New Zealand immediately as he's still in post-production on Universal's "Hellboy II," due out in July. > >The official signing of Del Toro comes four months after New Line settled a lawsuit with Jackson over "The Lord of the Rings" and announced that it had agreed with MGM to turn J.R.R. Tolkien's "Hobbit" into two live-action films. > >The studios didn't give a start date on production and don't yet have a script. Though no screenplay deal's been set, it's expected that the LOTR scripting team of Jackson, Walsh and Philippa Boyens will collaborate with Del Toro. > >With Del Toro blocking out four years for the project, it's likely that the studios are aiming at starting shooting next year and releasing the films in late 2011 and 2012. > >Jackson's WETA stages, post-production and visual effects facilities -- built for "The Lord of the Rings" -- will be used for both films. And New Zealand will again be the site of Middle-earth, with the story centering on Bilbo Baggins taking the Ring of Power from Gollum.] > >[http://www.comingsoon.net/news/hobbitnews.php?id=44426] > >Mein größter Traum wäre es, wenn Peter Jackson danach noch "Das Silmarillion" in mehreren Teilen verfilmt oder zumindest ein paar einzelne Geschichten daraus. > >[i:(Diese Nachricht wurde von Overcrook am 25.04.2008 16:14 editiert.)]
