Hobbit Filming Delayed to Mid-Summer

November 29th, 2009 by Altaira | Discuss

Peter JacksonSeveral reports are coming in that filming for The Hobbit will be delayed from the original estimate of March 2010 to mid-summer 2010, possibly July. The German site, moviereporter.net, reports that, as part of an interview regarding The Lovely Bones,  PJ estimates filming will begin towards the middle of next year:

    “We’re currently working on the second script which we hope to have completed by the end of this year or beginning of next.  When the scripts are completed, we can begin with the exact calculation of the necessary budget.  We hope to start filming in the middle of next year. However, we’ve received no green light from the studio yet.”  (- translated from German – read the original quote here).

PJ didn’t elaborate on whether this will affect the proposed release dates of December 2011 and 2012. More than two years elapsed between the start of filming for The Lord of the Rings movies in October, 1999, and the release of The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in December 2001. However, they are only tackling two films this time, plus the previous movies provide them a head-start on on a number of pre-production items such as some of the set and location designs (Bag End, Rivendell). This is sure to cause quite a bit of buzz!

November 29, 2009


German site MovieReporter.net talked to Peter Jackson, who revealed that The Hobbit and its sequel will now start filming mid-summer 2010 instead of the previously-reported March start. Here's a translation of Jackson's quote, thanks to TheOneRing.net:

We're currently working on the second script which we hope to have completed by the end of this year or beginning of next. When the scripts are completed, we can begin with the exact calculation of the necessary budget. We hope to start filming in the middle of next year. However, we've received no green light from the studio yet.

To Lenin and Jonas.

Originally, the idea of making two films based in the tolkien universe, they were only making 1 film on the hobbit and a second film that was "undecided" on what it was going to be. The full Hobbit story was to be the 1st film. So, the end of the first film was to be the end of the "hobbit" storyline. The second film was to either be a bridge in the 60 year gap between the hobbit and LOTR or something else completely.

When Del Toro was announced to be the director the plans changed dramatically and Del Toro along with Jackson agreed to make Two films based on the Hobbit. In other words the end of the first film would be around the middle of the book with the second film starting in the middle going all the way to the end of the books storyline.

They altered the idea further by agreeing to actually show where Gandalf ventures off to each time he "disappears". Several times in the hobbit Book, Gandalf mysteriously vanishes and you don't see him again for either a few pages later or even a few chapters. The book never tells where he goes and what he does and why he "Mysteriously" returns. There are other stories from other Tokien books that cover where he went and what he did in these disappearances. Jackson and Del Toro's idea was to incorporate his disappearances as well as where he goes into the films...instead of just leaving it as a "disappearance". They have stuck to that idea so far, as there aren't any reports on this changing so far. When Gandalf "disappears" in the book you don't know what happened to him...in the film version however you will...which is a great way to bring back Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) or even Legolas (Orlando Bloom) back.

A second film is not a sequel unless it is directly related to the previous storyline furthering into the future. If the second film were to be about events that happened before the 1st it would be considered a "prequel"...like LOTR and now the hobbit films. Even though the books were written in order beginning with the Hobbit.
