IG-64 Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Just saw this as a citation on wikipedia: 2006 interview with Guillermo del Toro I couldn't help thinking of Tolkien and C.S. Lewis in this film. Were you a fan of those books? [Del Toro:] I was never into heroic fantasy. At all. I don't like little guys and dragons, hairy feet, hobbits -- I've never been into that at all. I don't like sword and sorcery, I hate all that stuff. Ok, what the ****? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leXX Posted November 14, 2008 Author Share Posted November 14, 2008 O.o Um yeah, that doesn't exactly bode well does it. =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWally Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Well. I hate math with a passion, yet I am beast at math. What I mean is... He may not be a fan of stereotypical fantasies, but that doesn't suddenly make him a bad director. I'm sure he will put his heart and soul into any film he creates, and that's enough for me.

Pie™ Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Well, Hellboy 2 was a flaming pile of garbage, so that doesn't really reassure me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pie™ Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Okay, I thought it was horrible. I nearly walked out of the theater at several occasions, and that usually never happens to me. I rather liked the first one though, for it's cheesy campyness, and Ron Perlman is awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pho3nix Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 It's better than Lost in Translation though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IG-64 Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Bumpity: http://movies.ign.com/articles/974/974044p1.html Finally, some clarification. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totenkopf Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 Based on the relative strength of the LOTR films, I'd give the Hobbit movies a chance. Course if means I'll probably have to reread the book to see what they change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWally Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I've said it before and I'll say it again: I have complete faith in Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Guillermo del Toro. And I am very glad they decided to split the book instead of opting for a "Bridge" film. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I also like to see them split it. While I think it would have been interesting to see what they could come up with for a bridge movie, splitting the Hobbit into two movies will make sure they don't cut anything noticeable out, hopefully.

MrWally Posted April 19, 2009 Share Posted April 19, 2009 I can't help but wonder if they will do Gollum the same was as they did in the LOTR series. It isn't difficult for me to see del Toro completely redoing Gollum to match his vision, but then again the digital character for the LOTR series was so iconic and is so easily recognizable . . . I'm not so sure what he would do. Hmmm . . . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Pretty sure Andy Serkis is reprising his role, so I'd think he would be done the same way he was done in LotR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrWally Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 Ah yes. I knew that was rumored, but I had no idea if it had been finalized. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LordOfTheFish Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I have a slight suspicion they might just be better than LotR. Though if you want my opinion, FoR and RotK are on a different level than The Two Towers. But it was still a great film none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I am very glad they decided to split the book instead of opting for a "Bridge" film. Same here. I had a bad feeling about the whole "Tolkien's notes" thing, and I felt that going on such little amount of information for an entire movie was a bad idea. I also like to see them split it. While I think it would have been interesting to see what they could come up with for a bridge movie, splitting the Hobbit into two movies will make sure they don't cut anything noticeable out, hopefully. I think more along the lines of frightening than interesting. Tolkien made that his life. If filmmakers, no matter who they were, expounded on some notes with a large amount of new material just for a movie, there's a huge chance that would end badly. I can't help but wonder if they will do Gollum the same was as they did in the LOTR series. It isn't difficult for me to see del Toro completely redoing Gollum to match his vision, but then again the digital character for the LOTR series was so iconic and is so easily recognizable . . . I'm not so sure what he would do. Hmmm . . . http://uk.movies.ign.com/articles/899/899973p1.html We naturally enquired if he planned on continuing with a CG Gollum: "Absolutely. I think that it worked perfectly on the [Lord of the Rings] trilogy and if it ain't broke, why fix it?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeff Posted April 20, 2009 Share Posted April 20, 2009 I guess I thought a bridge film rather than two Hobbit movies would have been interesting is just because it'd be a new story rather than something where we already know what happens. Not that I am unhappy about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
