Guillermo del Toro has given an interview to MTV, which includes lots of new details:
- We WILL see the Necromancer being driven out of Dol-Guldur, and the rise of Sauron.
- Del Toro compares the story with a civil war.
- He wants Ian Holm to be somehow involved
- He LOVES the Riddles in the Dark section. His favourite scene is "The Spiders in Mirkwood". His favourite character is Smaug.
- He wants to emphasise the 'loss of innocence' theme. The film will start light but will get dark and parts will be very scary.
Read the interview here, or right here in our news forum.

Guillermo del Toro has this latest entry at the Hellboy2 forums on his preparations for The Hobbit movies:
Thank You guys-
Seeing that photo made me dream of a GQ magazine cover!! Impeccably groomed gentlemen those two-
Well, the adventure begins soon and I'm already preparing. My reading habits (no pun will be tried there) have been completely re-directed and the time I usually take to read and stay current is used entirely to "catch up" on sources that may not ultimately be useful to the HOBBITSES films but that can give me context enough to make careful choices. There a wide world out there some of which love sthe films made and there is also many other for whom the ... [Read More]

Xoanon from TORN chatted up Guillermo del Toro and was able to get a few more details on The Hobbit movie:
I had the opportunity to chat with Guillermo del Toro this morning from his current HQ in London. He’s hard at work putting the finishing touches on ‘Hellboy II: The Golden Army’ and taking interviews from news outlets about that film, and the recent announcement that he’ll be doing ‘The Hobbit’ and a subsequent Hobbit sequel down the line.
First things first, YES, that is him on our message boards, he told me he intends to post there as often as he humanly can. And yes, he is as cool and approachable as he sounds. Take a look at my interview!

Suggestive McKellen website update |
|
Apr 25, 2008 - 8:20 AM - by Elwen

Ian Mckellen has made a subtle update to his website. The section on his film roles in the 2000's (look at it here) now includes the following entry:
2010 THE HOBBIT
Director: Guillermo del Toro
Role: Gandalf
The release date is almost certainly too optimistic - but is he just advertising his earnest interest or does this indicate that negotiations are at an advanced stage?
Thanks to The Red Avenger we can confirm that this update was made within the last 24 hours.
