Lite svårtolkat det här med Raimis medverkan eller ej.. :unsure:

Men kul att höra att Blanchet ställer sig på samma sida som McKellen - gärna Bilbo men inte utan Jackson
Vad har New Line att sätta emot Gandalf och Galadriel? :rolleyes:

Det är sant att Viggos eventuella medverkan öppnar för vissa omskrivningar av historien, men det kan vi nästan räkna med om PJ finns vid rodret. Det viktigaste är inte att följa boken slaviskt utan att göra en så bra film som möjligt, och det kan bevisligen PJ.

Jag minns inte hur långt före Lord of the Rings som Bilbo utspelar sig men Aragon är ju över 80 år gammal så det kanske kan lösa sig. Annars så kanske han kunde spela sin pappa eller nåt. ;)

Tror det är ca 60 år mellan böckerna så det ska nog inte vara några problem. Om jag ska våga mig på en gissning var Aragorn dyker upp så blir det i det stora slaget i finalen, kanske dyker rentav Legolas upp och avfyrar några pilar. Men det vore kanske för stor hädelse mot Tolkien-talibanerna som motsätter sig alla övergrepp mot bokens handling:popcorn:

New Line hit with $125K in court sanctions
Sept 20, 2007
A judge has ordered New Line to pay $125,000 in sanctions for failing to turn over court-ordered documents in the ongoing legal battle with director Peter Jackson.

Jackson's attorneys also may be allowed to directly inspect New Line's files if it doesn't produce several audits within 21 days and the studio must hire an outsider to collect electronic documents, including emails.

New Line is accused of giving affiliates favorable licensing deals and failing to properly calculate revenue from DVD sales of 2001's "The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring."


Verkar som om tvisten går mot sin lösning. Vet inte om det hjälper dem att bli vänner, dock...

Och Cat Blanchett och Viggo Mortensen öppna för att medverka? Öppnar för lite omskrivningar av originalhistorien, behöver inte vara fel om det görs av någon med tummen i rätt mun (dvs. kan Tolkien på sina fem).


Intressant artikel. Hoppas att det löser sig till slut så att det blir rätt för alla inblandade parter.

Håller med dig om eventuella omskrivningar inte behöver vara av ondo, huvudsaken är att det görs som du skrev, av någon som kan sin Tolkien och om någon kan det så är det IMO PJ.

Men kul att höra att Blanchet ställer sig på samma sida som McKellen - gärna Bilbo men inte utan Jackson
Vad har New Line att sätta emot Gandalf och Galadriel? :rolleyes:

Håller med dig. Det är fint och IMO bra att skådespelarna har en sådan tillit till PJ och arbetet dom gjorde tillsammans. Dels inser dom väl att filmen inte kommer bli lika bra med andra personer vid rodret och andra skådespelare som gestaltar karaktärer dom tidigare gjort, men dessa uttalanden vittnar ju även om hur pass nöjda dom är och hur pass bra regissör dom tycker att PJ är.

Håller även med dig om omskrivningar mellan bok till film. Man behöver inte följa dom slaviskt utan enbart med ett sunt förnuft. PJ visade ju att han behärskar båda delarna i och med LOTR.

Stackars Aragorn. Dör vid ändast 209 års ålder. :( ;)
OK, så då är Aragorn bara 10 är när Bilbos äventyr inträffar?

Vi får alltså räkna med en hårt uppsminkad Viggo, om han ska spela Aragorn som 10-åring ;)

Fast PJ har ju redan ändrat på tidslinjen i LOTR-filmerna, han "suddade ut" c:a 20 år(?) från att Frodo fick ringen av Bilbo tills han gav sig av, så han har väl inga problem att göra det igen (om han nu får överhuvudtaget). Att flytta fram händelserna i Bilbo c:a 20 år borde inte göra så mycket. Och då befinner sig Aragorn hos Elrond sedan drygt 25 år - högst lämpligt sammanträffande :) .

EW har en resumé av trätan mellan Jackson och New Line samt framtidsutsikterna för filmen.

Det här med Blanchetts och Mortensens eventuella medverkan... meh, jag vet inte. Jag gillar inte tanken på att fösa in dem i opåkallade cameo-roller bara för att man kan. Ändra inte storyn mer än nödvändigt, anser jag.

New Line Softens Jackson Stance

En liten godbit:

"The truth is, whatever Bob said, from that point of view, was really Bob's statement," [Michael] Lynne said in the Rose video. "And New Line hasn't taken a position on that thought and doesn't take a position on that thought. We have had a disagreement with Peter over auditing. It happens a lot. ... It ought to be resolvable. And what happens going forward in terms of working together or not, you know, the future will tell that tale."

Lynne's comments also appear to be part of a softening at the studio toward Jackson; this week's Entertainment Weekly magazine features a cover story suggesting that the feud between New Line and Jackson may be nearing a resolution. (Källa)

Det verkar ju lovande. :) Artikeln i EW som det talas om måste vara den som Mjolnir postade i inlägg #183. :)

Intressant. Hoppas att dessa små tecken pekar i den riktningen som gör gällande att det är PJ och ingen annan som kommer regissera The Hobbit om denna ska bli film. :)

EDIT: Hittade 3 intressanta aritklar via TORN som kan vara värda att posta här.

One "Rings" penalty to rule them all

Message Board member "Daughter of Nienna" points us to a rather insightful article related to New Line's recent penalty and the on-going drama of the Peter Jackson lawsuit:

"...For a complex entertainment case, where lawyer gamesmanship over access to documents and witnesses is fairly common, Hillman's language and the amount of the penalty are striking. "It's almost unheard of," says litigator Neville Johnson, who frequently tangles with studios. "You rarely see sanctions, and you certainly don't see sanctions that high."..."


New Line Agree to Pay "RINGS" Fine

From The Hollywood Reporter (via Mania.com) Just two months ago, the media received word that New Line was softening its position against Peter Jackson in hopes of a possible HOBBIT movie somewhere in the near future. The hostility went from the studio head Robert Shaye saying:

"So the answer is he will never make any movie with New Line Cinema again while I'm still working for the company." (via SciFi.com)

to

"Notwithstanding our personal quarrels, I really respect and admire Peter and would love for him to be creatively involved in some way in The Hobbit." (via LA Times)

Whether the two sides have even talked to one another since then, it appears that New Line is accepting a fine handed to them from a Federal Judge for the failures of handing over documents as requested, something Peter Jackson has said from the beginning causing the court case. The $125,000 fine could have been contested or sought a review which would have taken more time in this ongoing court battle. Instead, they're accepting the decision. New Line's attorney Robert Schwartz wrote, "Mindful that the court's resources are valuable and limited, New Line will neither oppose that award nor seek review" of the order.


Och så en sista.

Sean Astin Willing, But Not Hopeful For "The Hobbit" Role

'The Hobbit' discussion continues as The MTV Movie Blog has caught up with LOTR cast member Sean Astin (Samwise Gamgee). Check out what everyone's favorite savior or Middle-earth has to say:

"I've said since before we started making the movies and have never wavered for a second that "The Hobbit" would get made," Sean Astin -- who portrayed Samwise Gamgee -- insisted, while out promoting his new film, "The Final Season." "The fanbase wants it. There's too much money to be made doing it. It seems like maybe the time is now."

Mycket trevliga nyheter idag. Det finns ett inslag att se också via länken.

MTV Movies Blog - New Line CEO: "‘The Hobbit" Is In The Future

Still buzzing from the advance buzz of "The Golden Compass" at New Line’s 40th anniversary gala in New York on Friday night, New Line’s co-chairmen and co-CEO’s Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne were in great spirits — so we figured they wouldn’t mind a little "The Hobbit" question. After all, "The Golden Compass" features a mini "The Lord of the Rings" reunion of sorts, with Ian McKellan (who of course played Gandalf) voicing the panserbjørne Iorek Byrnison, and Christopher Lee (who played the traitor wizard Saruman) making a cameo in the Magisterium (The voice you hear in the trailer is pre-McKellan, with a different voice actor).

So could a bigger "The Lord of the Rings" reunion be in the making, as a "cautiously optimistic" Entertainment Weekly reports, possibly with Peter Jackson as the executive producer and someone else directing "The Hobbit"? (Hear what we learned after the jump.)

Neither New Line nor Jackson’s camp would give comment to the magazine, but Shaye and Lynne, as much as they tried to dodge it, did give comment to us. "One film at a time!" Shaye laughed. "The Hobbit" is in the future," Lynne said, somewhat mysteriously. Does that mean there’s hope? "There’s more than hope," Lynne said with a wink, as he walked away. So no details yet, but plans are definitely underway.

Sam Raimi säger det igen: Raimi Insists Jackson Should Do HOBBIT!

Så det så. Artikeln innehåller dessutom uttalanden ifrån Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett, Viggo Mortensen & Orlando Bloom. (Inte mycket nytt kanske, men lite mer nedkokat om man säger så).

Trevlig liten tråd. :)

Ian McKellen är väl en av få skådespelare som sagt att han kan tänka sig att ställa upp i The Hobbit oavsett vem som blir regissör. Han fick tydligen ett mail av Peter Jackson strax efter att nyheten om att han nog inte skulle göra The Hobbit blev känd och uppmanade Ian att bara för att han tackade nej så behövde inte han göra samma sak.

Dock hoppas jag på att Peter Jackson gör filmen av samma anledning som många andra har, Sam Raimi i all ära men jag ser helst att någon med erfaranhet av filmatiseringen av The Lord Of The Rings även tar sig an en eventuell filmatisering av The Hobbit.

Så det så. Artikeln innehåller dessutom uttalanden ifrån Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett, Viggo Mortensen & Orlando Bloom. (Inte mycket nytt kanske, men lite mer nedkokat om man säger så).


Director/producer Sam Raimi has already indicated this opinion once before about who should direct THE HOBBIT and he hasn't changed his mind. A number of A-list directors and stars of the LOTR series feel the same way which has put New Line into a delicate situation, hence the recent peace talks. After all, Peter Jackson and his Weta Workshop owns the many set designs, costumes and exterior models (Rivendell, Gondor, etc) for Middle Earth. While speaking at the 30 DAYS OF NIGHT press conference, Raimi once again cleared the air on him possibly directing the next adventure of the Hobbits and Gandalf. He shall do it only if Peter's involved and approves.


Trevlig att det inte bara är vi här på forumet som inser att PJ and company är det bästa valet till varför dom ska göra filmen. Just att andra påpekar saker som att PJ och Weta äger och har tillgång till material som kommer väl till hand vid inspelningen av The Hobbit är bara ett bra argument till varför dom borde få fortsatt förtroende.

Raimi said, "There's no better choice to direct 'The Hobbit' than Peter Jackson. I'm a fan of 'The Lord of the Rings' trilogy and Peter Jackson's a brilliant filmmaker and he would be the guy I think everybody would love see direct it. And I hear [New Line and Jackson are] talking, too, from what I read in the trades, I don't really know first hand, hopefully he will direct it and give us his great version of it. If he doesn't direct it and decides to produce it, I'd love to be considered as the director."


Bra att Raimi själv har den inställningen och det är ju bara att hoppas att PJ inte nöjer sig med att bara vara producent utan att han vill regissera filmen och inte låta någon som Raimi gör det jobbet.

Även fint att se så många av skådespelarna sluta upp bakom PJ.

Hoppet finns fortfarande där. :)

Studio is also counting on distributing two installments of The Hobbit, with hopes that a thaw between director Peter Jackson and New Line over The Lord of the Rings will return that helmer back to Middle-earth.

Tråkiga nyheter IMO. :(

Yahoo News - Peter Jackson to produce The Hobbit

NEW YORK - Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema have reached agreement to make J.R.R. Tolkien's "The Hobbit," a planned prequel to the blockbuster trilogy "The Lord of the Rings."

Jackson, who directed the "Rings" trilogy, will serve as executive producer for "The Hobbit." A director for the prequel films has yet to be named.

Relations between Jackson and New Line had soured after "Rings," despite a collective worldwide box office gross of nearly $3 billion — an enormous success. The two sides nevertheless were able to reconcile, with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios (MGM) splitting "The Hobbit" 50/50, spokemen for both studios said Tuesday.

"I'm very pleased that we've been able to put our differences behind us, so that we may begin a new chapter with our old friends at New Line," Jackson said in a statement. "We are delighted to continue our journey through Middle Earth."

Two "Hobbit" films are scheduled to be shot simultaneously, similar to how the three "Lord of the Rings" films were made. Production is set to begin in 2009 with a released planned for 2010, with the sequel scheduled for a 2011 release.

New Line Cinema is owned by Time Warner. Sony and Comcast are among the owners of MGM.

(ADDS detail, quotes, background. SUBS overline to CORRECT that Jackson will produce, sted direct, films.)


Nu blir det säkert Raimi som regisserar och det känns ju för min egen del inte speciellt intressant.

Lite tråkiga, tycker jag med. Men hellre Jackson som executive producer än inte alls. Executive producer brukar vara den som har sista ordet hur saker ska vara.
Den bästa nyheten var att de delar upp The Hobbit i 2 filmer istället för att försöka tränga hop den till en.
Undrar vad undertitlen kommer bli.

Mera nyheter om detta via TORN

Saxar ut det mest intressanta men läs gärna resten själva.

* MGM and New Line will co-finance and co-distribute two films, "The Hobbit" and a sequel to "The Hobbit." New Line will distribute in North America and MGM will distribute internationally.


Två filmer alltså. Jag läste för några dagar sedan följande på ett annat forum. Trodde mest att det var bullshit om jag ska vara ärlig men det låg tydligen något i det. Dom fyra följande posterna är från det andra forumet för några dagar sedan.

I've mentioned this before -- Jackson's idea is do one film that is the Hobbit book itself, a second that covers Gandalf and the White Council chasing Sauron (the "Necromancer" in the Hobbit) from Dol Goldur. I still assume this is what they mean by "splitting


Ah, so I assume that the second film would be based heavily on the LOTR Appendices and HOME... that makes sense...


splitting it into two allows them to incorporate the White Council and Necromancer/Dul Guldor, and connect it more to the trilogy. Allows them to show more of Gandalf (always good), as well as more Elrond, Galadriel and Celeborn (maybe even Cirdan as well [face_pray]). We might even see Radaghast.


Again, what Jackson always talked about isn't a "split" -- the second film just fills in the blanks of what Gandalf has to do that's darned important that he can't help out with the dragon. Like Mar said, appendices, etc. Bring back Gandalf, Saruman, Elrond, Aragorn, introduce Radagast and Cirdan (maybe). Possibly a reference to Cirdan giving Gandalf [cue the Johnny Cash] the ring of fire (Narya)?


Här följer mer officiell info från TORN

* Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh will serve as Executive Producers of two films based on "The Hobbit." New Line will manage the production of the films, which will be shot simultaneously.


* Peter Jackson and New Line have settled all litigation relating to the "Lord of the Rings" (LOTR) Trilogy.


Och så några reaktioner från dom inblandade.

Said Peter Jackson, "I'm very pleased that we've been able to put our differences behind us, so that we may begin a new chapter with our old friends at New Line. "The Lord of the Rings" is a legacy we proudly share with Bob and Michael, and together, we share that legacy with millions of loyal fans all over the world. We are delighted to continue our journey through Middle Earth. I also want to thank Harry Sloan and our new friends at MGM for helping us find the common ground necessary to continue that journey."


"Peter Jackson has proven himself as the filmmaker who can bring the extraordinary imagination of Tolkien to life and we full heartedly agree with the fans worldwide who know he should be making "The Hobbit," said Sloan, MGM's Chairman and CEO. Now that we are all in agreement on "The Hobbit," we can focus on assembling the production team that will capture this phenomenal tale on film."


Bob Shaye, New Line Co-Chairman and Co-CEO comments, "We are very pleased we have been able to resolve our differences, and that Peter and Fran will be actively and creatively involved with "The Hobbit" movies. We know they will bring the same passion, care and talent to these films that they so ably accomplished with "The Lord of the Rings" Trilogy."


"Peter is a visionary filmmaker, and he broke new ground with "The Lord of the Rings," notes Michael Lynne, New Line Co-Chairman and Co-CEO. We're delighted he's back for "The Hobbit" films and that the Tolkien saga will continue with his imprint. We greatly appreciate the efforts of Harry Sloan, who has been instrumental in helping us reach our new accord."


Samt lite mer om inspelningen samt releaser för dom två filmerna.

The two "Hobbit" films "The Hobbit" and its sequel - are scheduled to be shot simultaneously, with pre-production beginning as soon as possible. Principal photography is tentatively set for a 2009 start, with the intention of "The Hobbit" release slated for 2010 and its sequel the following year, in 2011.

TORN spekulerar lite i vad två filmer av The Hobbit kan betyda.

When the staff here at TheOneRing.net first heard the rumors that the Hobbit film deal would most likely be for two movies, it fueled a lot of speculation. Most of the speculation centers on the idea that the second movie will be a bridge between The Hobbit and Fellowship of the Ring.

Events that could be included in such a bridge movie:

The White Council meets to discuss The Necromancer (aka Sauron)

The White Council (including Saruman and Gandalf) attack The Necromancer’s stronghold at Dol Guldur. This is to prevent Sauron from searching the river for the Ring. Sauron abandons Dol Guldur and takes up residence in Mordor.

Gollum leaves the mountain, searching for the “thief” Baggins.

Sauron declared himself openly, starting to gather power to Mordor.

Aragorn searches the wilds for Gollum.

Aragorn’s engagement to Arwen.

Frodo’s birth.

These are but a few things mentioned in Appendix B of Return of the King. These can be added to and expanded to make the story flow.

Det där låter ju lite som Star Wars V, en lite mörkare mellandel alltså. Vore kul om de här mellanhistorierna fick mer kött på benen. Lovande, även om det bara är spekulationer. :)

Läste för övrigt just "De Två tornen", och där nämner ju Gandalf bara i några få ord sitt möte med "Nekromantikern". Man vill höra mer om det när man läser det.

Scifi Wire rapporterar att Sam Raimi förmodas ta sig an Hobbiten efter Drag Me to Hell.

After Drag Me to Hell, Raimi is expected to helm The Hobbit films for New Line and MGM now that Peter Jackson has made it clear he won't direct them, the trade paper reported. (Källa)

Bloody Disgusting rapporterar samma sak via artikeln om hans kommande film Drag Me to Hell.


Entertainment Weekly
Guillermo del Toro förnekar inte att han skulle vara intresserad av att regissera The Hobbit om han fick förfrågan.

Då ser jag hellre att Raimi regisserar. del Toro i alla ära men han har gjort lite för många dåliga filmer IMO, det är er eller mindre bara Hellboy som är bra IMO och känns inte som ett givet val av regisser. Då tycker jag att Raimi är en betydligt jämnare regissör.

DN har hakat på nyheten:

Hober högaktuella julen 2010

Boken om Bilbo blir film och Peter Jackson hovar hem storkovan. Lön: 264 miljoner kronor.

Peter Jackson gör en George Lucas. Boken The Hobbit om Bilbo blir film. Boken handlar om tiden före trilogin om Härskarringen, som spelade in hela 19,1 miljarder kronor.

Enligt New York Times har Jackson gjort en överenskommelse med filmbolaget New Line Cinema som också låg bakom jätteprojeket Tolkiens Sagan om ringen.

Jackson ska producera filmen tillsammans med sin fru, Fran Walsh. Projektet Bilbo ska leda till två filmer och den första tros ha premiär julen 2010.

New York Times uppger att skräckfilmsmästaren, Sami Raimi, kan få äran att regissera Bilbo-filmen. Han ligger bland annat bakom klassikerna Evil Dead och har producerat tv-serien, Xena - krigarprinsessan.

Två saker som slår en:

1. Vilken lön!?! :o
2. Xena nämns! :D

Om Sam Raimi står för regi får vi säkert se en Bruce Campbell cameo. Alltid något. :lol: ;)

Håller med dig om lönen. Skulle vara intressant att ställa den i jämförelse med det han fick för LOTR. Du har möjligtvis inga siffror på det?
