The Hobbit


Tolkien film fansite theonering.net has a detailed interview with Guillermo Del Toro in which he confirms that Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and Andy Serkis (Gollum) are both on board to revisit their Lord of the Rings roles in the forthcoming Hobbit prequels. Del Toro also indicates that he will be faithful to the tone of the original films, with the only major differences being a slightly different colour palette and wherever possible the use of animatronics rather than CGI effects.

Del Toro is apparently a big fan of the one ring website and has already been seen posting on the message boards, suggesting that the site may be the one to watch for news on the film.
