McKellen to Play Gandalf Again
Hobbit fans can breathe a sigh of relief. Ian McKellen has agreed to reprise his role as Gandalf in Peter Jacksons two-picture adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkiens novel The Hobbit. Mr. McKellen portrayed Gandalf, the tall (especially when compared with a Hobbit) wizard in the Lord of the Rings trilogy, and garnered an Oscar nomination for best supporting actor in the first of the three films, The Fellowship of the Ring. The adventures in Middle Earth begin with The Hobbit, which is scheduled to start shooting in New Zealand next month. Mr. Jackson was eager to sign up the same actors from the trilogy and has so far been successful. Andy Serkis has agreed to return as Gollum, Elijah Wood will play Frodo, and Cate Blanchett will appear as Galadriel. Mr. Jackson is hoping that Orlando Bloom will also agree to return to play the elf Legolas.. Actor Ian McKellen will reprise his role as Gandalf in upcoming Peter Jackson film The Hobbit; photo (S)

The Hobbit Goes Into Production, Finally
They say that even the longest journey begins with a single step, and Peter Jackson has finally reached that step on his movie adaptations of The Hobbit where cameras are (metaphorically) rolling, actors are performing their parts and footage is being gathered that will someday arrive in your local cinema. Warner Brothersannounced on Monday that production had begun in Wellington, New Zealand, on Mr. Jacksons two-film version of J. R. R. Tolkiens Hobbit novel, a project that has previously been stalled by the loss of the directorGuillermo del Toro; a battle between Mr. Jackson and labor unions in New Zealand and Australia over hiring practices for the films; and, just when things finally seemed to be getting on track, an emergency surgery for Mr. Jackson to repair a perforated ulcer. In a statement, Warner Brothers said that the Hobbit movies will be shot consecutively in digital 3-D using the latest camera and stereo technology and that filming will take place at Stone Street Studios, Wellington, and on location around New Zealand. The movies, which are being jointly produced by New Line Cinema and MGM, are planned for release in 2012 and 2013, though if history is any indication, theres no need to start camping outside your theater for tickets just yet..

Over the weekend the filmmaker Guillermo del Toro said he was departing the project as its director, amid uncertainty about a start date for shooting and the future of the studio releasing it. In a statement posted Sunday on the Tolkien fan Web site TheOneRing.net, Mr. del Toro, whose films include Pans Labyrinth and the Hellboy movies, said: 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.

Hobbit Films Dates Linked to Nostradamus
As if to prove that there are no supernatural forces working against Peter Jacksons Hobbit movies, for which that director has already contended with a labor dispute, the occasional explosion and emergency ulcer surgery, the studios have settled on some interesting release dates for the two-part fantasy epic. New Line Cinema, Warner Brothers and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer said in a joint statement reported by The Associated Press that the first Hobbit movie would open on Dec. 14, 2012, when some scholars say is the 509th anniversary of the birth of Nostradamus, the French astrologer and soothsayer. (Historical spoilsports say he was born on Dec. 21.) And the concluding Hobbit film will be released on Dec. 13, 2013, a date that not only has two 13s but is also, wouldnt you know it, Friday the 13th. The studios also announced the films full titles: Part 1 will be called The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and Part 2 will be The Hobbit: There and Back Again, neither of which is as interesting as the dates they open. Of course if youre among those who believe, as Nostradamus predicted, that a king of terror shall come from the sky in 2012 and possibly end the world, then it doesnt really matter, does it?. Part 1 of Peter Jacksons film The Hobbit will be released in December 2012, on Nostradamus birthday, and Part 2 will premiere in December 2013 (S)

Hobbit Math: 2 Films Become 3
The two Hobbit movies will become three -- so said Peter Jackson, their director, Monday morning in a posting on his Facebook page. It has been an unexpected journey indeed, and in the words of Professor Tolkien himself, a tale that grew in the telling, wrote Mr. Jackson, right, who said he would use the three-movie format to tell more of the tale. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first of what will now be three films based on The Hobbit, by J. R. R. Tolkien, remains set for release by Warner Brothers and its New Line Cinema unit, along with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, on Dec. 14. The second film is scheduled for release in December 2013. The third can be expected in the summer of 2014, Warner said in a statement. In an appearance this month at the Comic-Con International fan convention Mr. Jackson explained that some material from the related Lord of the Rings cycle, and a small bit of invention that added a stronger feminine presence to Tolkiens Hobbit story, had expanded its cinematic potential.. Peter Jackson announces that the planned Hobbit films will now be told in three parts, rather than the two that were expected; the first, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, will be released in December 2012.

Another Hobbit Delay
If youd recently taken on the weighty assignment of directing two movies adapted from J. R. R. Tolkiens Hobbit, then defended that project during a potentially catastrophic labor crisis, you might be under some stress, too. So have sympathy for Peter Jackson, who will likely take some time off from that mammoth fantasy franchise after undergoing surgery for a perforated ulcer. Melissa Booth, a publicist for Mr. Jackson, told Agence France-Presse that the filmmaker had been experiencing stomach pains and on Wednesday night was admitted to Wellington Hospital in New Zealand, where doctors gave him the diagnosis and operated on him. Mr. Jackson, the Academy Award-winning director of the Lord of the Rings movies, stepped in last year to direct the Hobbit films after Guillermo del Toro withdrew, then fought a pitched battle against labor unions in New Zealand and Australia over hiring practices, with Mr. Jackson warning he could move the films out of New Zealand if the unions did not back down. Production on The Hobbit was to begin next month, but Ms. Booth said there would likely be a slight delay as Mr. Jackson recuperates. Asked how long that delay could be, Ms. Booth replied, How long is a piece of string?. Ulcer surgery delays director Peter Jackson working on production of movie The Hobbit (S)

Bilbo and His Dwarfs
After months of uncertainty, the near financial collapse of a movie studio, a change in directors and a heated labor dispute, the cast of Peter Jacksons two-film adaptation of The Hobbit was at last introduced to the news media on Friday at a press conference in New Zealand. The event, held on Friday at the Park Road Post production facility in Wellington, featured Martin Freeman, the British Office and Sherlock star who will play the pint-sized Bilbo Baggins, as well as the actors who will play his 13 dwarf companions, but Mr. Jackson, who was hospitalized last month for ulcer surgery, did not attend. In a statement that was read at the news conference, Mr. Jackson said: Id love to be with you all this morning, but Im currently under a medical form of house arrest, to prevent me from overdoing it until fully recovered from my recent operation. Ill be jumping back into it very soon, and to be honest the guys that youll be talking to this morning make me laugh so hard, right now Id be in danger of popping a few stitches..
