yes...it would make sense regarding the dates as Del Toro stated in a recent interview that it will be almost a half-decade undertaking, correct? man, i can't WAIT for the official announcement...

I wish they would decide on a director and get moving. Bring us set pics and trailers!

Yeah - after the exuberance caused by the initial press release... hm... the lack of definite information is rather depressing. Over at that Hobbit Movie it's been quiet ever since.

Really, it's time *someone* starts *something, somehow*... I can't take the tension (or lack therof?) much longer Very Happy

I really hope the SGA doesn't go on strike and put this off even longer. They ought to make a feature-length documentary on the War of the Hobbit, or something like that, on how it was such a hard movie to get off the ground.

I guess, other movies struggled more, and for much longer. Superman Returns, Indiana Jones 4, even the Lord of the Rings trilogy had a rough takeoff.

Gandalf in The Hobbit movie would not be Gandalf without Sir Ian. Hail and well met, my friend! Cool

I am glad and very relieved about this news. It will keep continuity in the series of movies all around. Let's hope they make some more good casting decisions soon!

I concur, many different characters can be altered a bit, but having the same Gandalf is very important, and would be a catastrophy if by any chance he couldn't play the part in the upcoming movie. Sir Ian IS Gandalf in my mind, by part in the movie and in my imagination when reading the books, I couldn't imagine anyone differently now! Very Happy
