According to Production Weekly’s Twitter feed, J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit is scheduling to begin its 14-month production this June. Guillermo Del Toro is using the same playbook to shoot this 2 part movie back to back. It is expected to last 14 months. Part 1 is slated for December 2011 with the Part 2 coming out a year later in December of 2012 (Hopefully it will be out before the Mayan calendar apocalypse!). The tweet from PW probably means that Warner Bros. has finally allowed the production to go ahead and move beyond the “yellow light” Del Toro mentioned last month.
DogsOfWar-This is good news for LOTR fans, but not so good for fans of the "Hellboy" series. It might be tough for Ron Perlman to pull off Hellboy if it is not the next movie GDT does after Hobbit.
