Hobbit fans can get a tiny bit more excited as we now hear tales that the first of the two proposed Hobbit movies has finished its writing stage and is headed into preproduction. And we find this out while they are already half way done the second part!
Peter Jackson revealed that the script for the first of the two Hobbit films had been finished and handed off to the studio.
But that’s not all. “We’re now halfway through the second script and Philippa, Fran, Guillermo and myself are doing the scripts and having great fun,” added Jackson.
Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh previously co-wrote the screenplays for the Lord of the Rings film trilogy with Jackson. Now, all three are joining forces once again to produce and write both Hobbit films, though this time around it’s Guillermo del Toro, not Jackson, in the director’s chair.
I am really curious to see how this prequel turns out. I always liked the Hobbit storyline more because its so different from Lord of the Rings yet it still had the same feel. Now with a different director, we might just see how different they see it.
