Scripting For “The Hobbit” Officially Begins!

August 20th, 2008 by DiveTwin | Source: Entertainment Weekly | Discuss

Ringer Deej found this article on EW.Com:

It’s now official: The Lord of the Rings screenwriting team of Peter Jackson (pictured), Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens will join The Hobbit director Guillermo del Toro to pen the screenplay for the two planned Hobbit movies. Sources tell EW.com that the scribes’ deals are all complete and they will commence writing shortly. (With shooting scheduled to begin in Fall 2009 in New Zealand, the quartet better get busy!) The Hobbit will center on Frodo’s uncle, Bilbo Baggins, and his initial discovery of the immensely-powerful ring. New Line and MGM plan to release the two films Christmas 2011 and Christmas 2012.

Post your comments on the TORN Forum - it’s an exciting day for Hobbit fans! Thanks again to ringer Deej for posting this on our boards. EW.Com
