Guillermo del Toro With Hobbit Round Up
>> Jun 6, 2009
While publicized "The Strain," his new vampire novel written by with Chuck Hogan, Guillermo del Toro has been done some interviews with media including MTV where he had confirmed more about the split between two "Hobbit" films, what is going to come in his telling of the story, and also about his choice in the casting of Bilbo Baggins.
The specific format of this Hobbit adaptation hasn’t been too clear until now, but the following quotes from Del Toro nail it down pretty solidly:
"I’m doing only two movies because I felt that that was the best way to service the book. I’m not saying the other notion was not discussed. We discussed it a large degree. But I felt that for me, the two films were the way to go. When you read the book, there is only one place to break it really, and everybody knows it. It’s been discussed in forums and there’s a lot of people that are right. That’s where it’s going to break. So it’s very simple. What we’re doing is because we have the relationship between Bilbo and Thorin and all the dwarves, there is a logical place for that relationship. There is a moment in the book where something is accomplished that allows us to say, ‘Okay, on to the next one after this."
However, about who will play Bilbo in the anticipated "Lord of the Rings" prequel, Del Toro tells MTV to expect the casting news within “the next few weeks”.
