^ I thought that part about 4D was a joke until I actually read the article. I thought the 3D trend was bad enough. I really hope the 4D trend doesn't catch on. How long until we get The Fatties: Fart 2 in 4D?

re: The Hobbit
One more reason to avoid the theaters. Keep your extra Ds if all I'm going to get is wet (and not in a fun way) and lose clarity on the image.

'The Hobbit' not delayed; on track for 2012 (exclusive) “The Hobbit” is coming to theaters sooner than you think, but later than you initially thought. Let's clear it up. Warner Bros. is scheduling Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro’s two-part adaptation of “The Hobbit” for December 2012 and December 2013. A confusion over release dates surfaced earlier today when Imax announced an overall, 20-film, three-year deal with Warners. In outlining which films would be included, Imax incorrectly gave 2013 as the release date for the first “Hobbit” movie. But 2013 is two years later than the 2011 release date that New Line and MGM targeted for the first installment when the two companies originally announced the movies in December 2007. However, 2011 proved not to be a realistic date and instead served more as a guideline, according to insiders, because when it was first announced, no scripts were written, nor schedules or budgets drawn up. While the project is taking a bit longer than the filmmakers anticipated, it is now on track for 2012 -- rather than the 2013 date mentioned in the Imax release. The second movie’s script was turned in to the studio a couple of weeks ago, and all parties are starting to break down the financials for the movies now. Warners moved quickly to set the calendar straight in the wake of the Imax release, and by midday, the giant-screen-format company said it was going to send out a correction, officially making 2012 the new date for the first “Hobbit” movie. |

The main thing that annoys me about Del Toro directing The Hobbit is that fact that because it's taking so frickin' long that it means he's not making all of the other awesome movies that he seemed to be preparing (ex. Frankenstein [from Frank Darabout's script] and Drood).
Screw the hobbit. I want Drood! |
re: The Hobbit
Guillermo del Toro Confirms Hobbit Delay Source: Silas Lesnick May 28, 2010 Speaking moments ago at a press conference for his latest production, Splice, Guillermo del Toro responded to questions about the state of The Hobbit, saying that the film does not have a start date, nor will it until MGM sorts out its financial troubles. "It's not greenlit," said del Toro, "That's categorical... We've been caught in a very tangled negotiation... There cannot be any start dates until the MGM situation gets resolved. They do hold a considerable portion of the rights." Responding to rumors that the film would shoot in 3D, del Toro said that, while 3D remains a possiblity, it has been discussed "literally once" in the production offices and it is not being planned at this time. The current production budget has been drawn without 3D in mind. Admitting no predictable timeline for a start date, del Toro theorized one possible outcome that would see MGM sharing or selling off the rights. Nevertheless, he feels confident that the film will move forward as soon as a decision is made. "We have designed all the creatures," he said, "We've designed the sets and the wardrobe. We have done animatics and planned battles sequences.... We are very, very prepared for when it is finally triggered." http://www.comingsoon.net/news/movienews.php?id=66472 |

re: The Hobbit
Ebeert just posted this on Twitter -
ebertchicago Today: Del Toro is off "The Hobbit." Last week: Del Toro announced he wouldn't film it in 3D. So Del Toro is out? |
re: The Hobbit
Looks like indeed he's left the project...
My word, we did not see this one coming. While the path to the screen of "The Hobbit" hasn't been an easy one by any stretch, with rights issues and MGM's financial speculation consistently delaying the film, which was originally set for release this year, it seemed like everything was set for Guillermo Del Toro to direct two films based on J.R.R. Tolkien's novel, which serves as a prequel to the hugely successful "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. But it seems that the delays have proven too much, as Del Toro announced to fan site TheOneRing (via @ianmckellen118) today that he's leaving the project. Del Toro's script, co-written with Peter Jackson, director of the original trilogy, will remain intact, but another director will be sought. Del Toro told the site, "In light of ongoing delays in the setting of a start date for filming “The Hobbit,” I am faced with the hardest decision of my life. After nearly two years of living, breathing and designing a world as rich as Tolkien’s Middle Earth, I must, with great regret, take leave from helming these wonderful pictures. I remain grateful to Peter, Fran and Philippa Boyens, New Line and Warner Brothers and to all my crew in New Zealand. I’ve been privileged to work in one of the greatest countries on earth with some of the best people ever in our craft and my life will be forever changed. The blessings have been plenty, but the mounting pressures of conflicting schedules have overwhelmed the time slot originally allocated for the project. Both as a co-writer and as a director, I wish the production nothing but the very best of luck and I will be first in line to see the finished product. I remain an ally to it and its makers, present and future, and fully support a smooth transition to a new director." Meanwhile, Jackson commented "We feel very sad to see Guillermo leave the Hobbit, but he has kept us fully in the loop and we understand how the protracted development time on these two films, due to reasons beyond anyone’s control – has compromised his commitment to other long term projects. The bottom line is that Guillermo just didn’t feel he could commit six years to living in New Zealand, exclusively making these films, when his original commitment was for three years. Guillermo is one of the most remarkable creative spirits I’ve ever encountered and it has been a complete joy working with him. Guillermo’s strong vision is engrained into the scripts and designs of these two films, which are extremely fortunate to be blessed with his creative DNA" This is breaking news: more to come... http://theplaylist.blogspot.com/2010...es-hobbit.html |

If Del Toro doesn't end up directing, who would be a good choice for a replacement? Do you think Jackson will end up helming? |
re: The Hobbit
shitty

re: The Hobbit
Yeah, he's a better director than PJ. But my greatest gripe about Del Toro on The Hobbit was that It was taking away from us Guillermo Del Toro on his passion projects of which he has many to do w/ Universal.
I'm pissed but I'm also somewhat pleased to have Del Toro back. |
re: The Hobbit
That's bad news. The replacement will almost certainly be a downgrade from GDT. Heck even Peter Jackson would feel like a downgrade. I really wanted to see what Del Toro would do with Middle Earth. Oh well.
