"Hobbit filming to begin in New Zealand in July" (EEEEEEEEEEEE!!!)  
From [livejournal.com profile] tinaskywalker, reposted as fast as I could.


Shooting of the long-awaited film version of JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit is set to begin in New Zealand in July.

Actor Sir Ian McKellen, who reprises his Lord of the Rings role as Gandalf the Grey, revealed casting is taking place in LA, London and New York.

[...]

Jackson - together with his wife Fran Walsh - will produce the films, to be made back-to-back in New Zealand.

Writing on his official website, Sir Ian reports that shooting of the two films is expected to take more than a year, with Del Toro "now living in Wellington, close to the Jacksons' and the studio in Miramar".

McKellen added that the script was still being worked on, saying "the first draft is crammed with old and new friends, again on a quest in Middle-earth".

[...]

According to studio New Line, the first film will be an adaptation of The Hobbit, the novel Tolkien published before his Lord of the Rings cycle.

The second will be an original story focusing on the 60 years between the book and the beginning of the Rings trilogy.

Not sure what to think of that second "filler" movie but...PLEASE let this be true.

As I did not like Bilbo from the books and the first movie didn't endear him to me either, I am not so excited ;)
I'll probably watch it for more Gandalf and the beautiful New Zealand landscape though.

I saw this several days ago, possibly longer ... and as far as I know, there's no reason to think it's not true, as they have been planning this for the last year or more ...
