One Eternal Day: "Far over the misty mountains..."
Variety reports "'The Hobbit' pics to shoot in February." But we'll have to wait until 2012, — and in 3D?!
New Line, MGM and Warner Bros. (parent of New Line) issued a joint announcement late Friday afternoon. It came nearly three years after they agreed to join up on a big-screen version of JRR Tolkien's epic fantasy novel about the adventures of Bilbo Baggins, who obtains the ring that was the centerpiece of The Lord of the Rings trilogy of books and films.
"Exploring Tolkien's Middle-earth goes way beyond a normal film-making experience," Jackson said in the statement. "It's an all-immersive journey into a very special place of imagination, beauty and drama. We're looking forward to re-entering this wondrous world with Gandalf and Bilbo - and our friends at New Line Cinema, Warner Brothers and MGM."
