Guillermo del Toro’s “The Hobbit” seemed to be right on track. TheOneRing.net reported that directly from del Toro’s mouth that the film is in holding pattern despite the fact that both scripts are completed.
del Toro also explained that they are not leaning towards 3D either:
“On both counts, there are no final answers. It is not greenlit. That is categorical. And 3D has been discussed literally once in the room. The budget and the schedule and everything that we are handling – the cost of the film, the number of days it would take to shoot – is being handled right now without looking towards 3D. Is there a chance it will become 3D in the future? Maybe. Right now, it’s not being planned as such.”
Look like we are going to have to keep waiting for this film. IT WILL HAPPEN, no question but when is the burning question!!
