Master Smith Guillermo Del Toro has begun to pen The Hobbit adaptation! We get wind of this news from our friends at the movieweb:
The process of creating the “Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” prequel has gotten under way. A scooper wrote in to TheOneRing.net with word that the Guillermo del Toro has begun writing the script for The Hobbit. Here’s what the scooper had to say:
“Ive just got home from an early screening of “Hellboy II: The Golden Army” hosted by PopcornTaxi at the Greater Union Cinema in Sydney, where Guillermo did a telephone Q & A from Berlin after the film…The last question though related to The Hobbit – and Guillermo said that although there was nothing to add at the moment – he can say that scripting has started – and he described the process as something ‘beautiful.'”
The wheels of glory have begun to turn! I, like many of you am very excited to see this project and to hear that the process has started does me good. This is a time of celebration and merry making. I plan on sleeping more so the film will speed towards my wet, supple eye balls.
