Hobbitten er en kommende film som er baseret på romanen The Hobbit, der er skrevet af J. R. R. Tolkien. Der vil komme to film. Oprindeligt skulle den første film følge Hobbitten, og den anden ville være en bro over Hobbitten og LOTR. Men dirktøren valgte at udvide fortælling af Hobbitten over begge film. Filmene vil udkomme i december 2011 og december 2012. Direktøren vil være Guillermo del Toro og Peter Jackson. Peter Jackson vil også være executive producer og co-writer.

Plot redigér

Fremmedsprog:

Local Shire Hobbit Bilbo Baggins, Uncle of Frodo Baggins, is living a quiet, peaceful life until Gandalf the Grey knocks on his door. A band of wandering dwarves shows up one or two at a time, the goal, to hire poor Bilbo for a quest (as a burgler) that entails defeating a dragon and recovering (burgling) a treasure. Along the way there are adventures with Trolls and elves, a battle with Goblins, the naming of Bilbo's sword as Sting after, a battle with some spiders, escaping from wargs, and a barrel ride in a river. There is a great battle The Battle of Five Armies which includes men, dwarfs, elves, goblins with wargs, and more. Most importantly of all, part of this story leads Bilbo into Riddles in the Dark where he meets Gollum and in the process acquires a peculiar ring that has had and will have a great impact on the future of their world. [2]

Udvikling redigér

Peter Jackson og Fran Walsh havde interresse i at virkeliggøre Hobbitten allerede i året 1995. Filmen ville være del 1 af en trilogi. De to andre film skulle have været baseret på Ringenes herre.[3] Jackson's producer Harvey Weinstein, udviste fustrationer da han updagede at Saul Zaentz havde produktions rettigherderne til Hobbitten, mens distributions rettighederne stadig tilhørte United Artists. UA havde rettighederne, fordi de troede at filmselskaberne ville lave Hobbitten før Eventyret om ringen. [4] Studiet forsøgte at købe Weinsteins rettigheder, men det lykkedes dem ikke. Weinstein spurgte Jackson om at lave Ringenes herre i stedet for.[5] New Line Cinema ente så med at producere Lord of the Rings og rettighederne til Hobbitten ville udløbe i 2010.[6] i 2006 september måned, så havde ejeren af UA, MGM, vist interresse i at teame op med New Line og Jakcson for at lave prequelen.[7]

I 2005, marts måned, så sagsøgte Jackson New Line, fordi han mente at han havde tabt indtægter fra video og computerspil som omhandlede Eventyret om ringen.[8][6][9][6][10][11] I august, efter uenigheder, så forsøgte Shaye at redde forholdet med direktøren og sagde at han respekterede Peter og ville elske hvis han kunne være involveret i Hobbitten[12]. Den følgende måned skulle New Line af med $125.000.[6]

D. 18 december 2007, blev det announceret at Jackson ville være executive producer til filmen. New Line og MGM vil finansere filmen, hvilket er New Line's første samarbejde med et større firma.[13] Hver film har fået et budget på $ 150 millioner.[14][11] Producer Mark Ordesky vil vende tilbage som superviser[15]Jackson sagde at han ikke vil være direktør for det ville være utilfredsstillende at konkurrere med trilogien.[16]

Guillermo del Toro har sagt at han er en fan af Jackson trilogy og har diskuteret med ham om at lave en Halo film med ham. De har holdt kontakt med hinanden siden 2005.[16] I et interview i 2006 så sagde Del Toro:"I don't like little guys and dragons, hairy feet, hobbits, [...] I don't like sword and sorcery, I hate all that stuff".[17]



After he signed on to direct in April 2008,[18] Del Toro posted on TheOneRing.net forums that he had been enchanted by The Hobbit as a child, but found that Tolkien's other books "contain[ed] geography and genealogy too complex for my prepubescent brain". In taking the job of director, Del Toro was now "reading like a madman to catch up with a whole new land, a continent of sorts – a cosmology created by brilliant philologist turned Shaman". He also posted that his appreciation of Tolkien was enhanced by his knowledge of the fantasy genre and the folklore research he had undertaken while making his own fantasy films.[16]

Pre-production began around August 2008, with Del Toro, Jackson, Walsh, and Philippa Boyens writing the scripts.[19] Del Toro collaborated with Jackson, Walsh and Boyens via videoconferencing, and flew every three weeks, back and forth from Los Angeles, California (where some of the designs were done)[18] to New Zealand to visit them.[20] Del Toro spent his mornings writing, and afternoons looking at material related to Tolkien to help him understand the writer's work. He watched World War I documentaries and examined Jackson's memorabilia about the war, including working reproductions of planes, tanks, cannons, ships and uniforms. Del Toro felt Tolkien's experiences in that war impacted his stories.[21]

By November 2008, every week Del Toro, Jackson, Walsh and Boyens would realize something new about the story which continually changed the script.[22] The writing hours increased to twelve each day, as they dedicated three weeks to finally deciding the films' structures.[23] During the first few months of 2009, writing would start from 8:30 am and end at 3 pm when Del Toro would meet with Weta (i.e. Weta Workshop and Weta Digital film effects companies). Completion of the story outlines and treatments ended in March 2009, and the studios approved the start of writing the screenplay.[24] Filming will take place throughout 2010 in New Zealand, and Del Toro will renovate the Hobbiton sets in Matamata.[16] On his part, Jackson has kept the Rivendell scale model and the Bag End set (which he has used as a guest house) from the trilogy.[9] During the middle of the shoot, there will be a break which will allow Del Toro to edit The Hobbit while sets are altered for the second film.[25] The director expected the shoot to last 370 days.[26]

Direction redigér

The first film will stand on its own, and the second will be a transition and fusion with Peter's world. I plan to change and expand the visuals from Peter's, and I know the world can be portrayed in a different way. Different is better for the first one. For the second, I have the responsibility of finding a slow progression and mimicking the style of Peter.
Del Toro on tonal consistency with Jackson's trilogy[27]

Del Toro interprets The Hobbit as being set in a "world that is slightly more golden at the beginning, a very innocent environment" and the film would need to "tak[e] you from a time of more purity to a darker reality throughout the film, but [in a manner] in the spirit of the book".[18] He perceives the main themes as loss of innocence, which he likened to the experience of England after World War I, and greed, which he says Smaug and Thorin Oakenshield represent.[16] Bilbo Baggins reaffirms his personal morality during the story's third act as he encounters Smaug and the Dwarves' greed.[28] He added "The humble, sort of a sturdy moral fibre that Bilbo has very much represents the idea that Tolkien had about the little English man, the average English man",[29] and the relationship between Bilbo and Thorin would be the heart of the films.[30] The Elves will also be less solemn.[16]

Del Toro met concept artists John Howe and Alan Lee, Weta Workshop head Richard Taylor and make-up artist Gino Acevedo to keep continuity with the previous films,[18] and he has also hired European comic book artists to complement Howe's and Lee's style on the trilogy,[31] including Mike Mignola and Wayne Barlowe, who began work around April 2009.[24] He has also considered looking at Tolkien's drawings and using elements of those not used in the trilogy.[29] As Tolkien did not originally intend for the magic ring Bilbo finds to be the all-powerful talisman of evil it is revealed to be in The Lord of the Rings, Del Toro will address its different nature in the story, but not so much as to draw away from the story's spirit.[28] Each Dwarf will need to look different from each other.[32] Del Toro will redesign the Goblins and Wargs[16] and the Mirkwood spiders will also look different from Shelob.[28] Del Toro felt the Wargs had to be changed because "the classical incarnation of the demonic wolf in Nordic mythology is not a hyena-shaped creature".[21]

Fil:JohnHoweSmaug.jpg
Guillermo del Toro noted that John Howe's illustrations of Smaug "approximate" his vision of the character[33]

Del Toro also wants the animals to speak so Smaug's speech will not be incongruous, though he explained portraying the talking animals will be more about showing people can understand them.[28] Smaug will not have a "snub Simian [mouth] in order to achieve a dubious lip-synch",[16] and Del Toro notes that such is the attention given to him that he will be the first design begun and the last to be approved.[21] The director, whose Chinese zodiac sign is the Dragon, is fascinated by the mythological species and attempted to include one in Pan's Labyrinth, but was unable to for budget reasons. His favourite cinematic dragons are Maleficent in Sleeping Beauty and Vermithrax Pejorative from Dragonslayer.[16] He has also provided a foreword to Howe's portfolio book Forging Dragons, where he discussed the dragon's differing symbolism and roles in various cultures and legends.[34]

Ian McKellen and Andy Serkis (who played Gandalf and Gollum, respectively), have met Del Toro,[18] and ideally, he wants every actor (including Ian Holm, who played Bilbo in Rings) to reprise their roles,[31] although he acknowledged some may be unable to because of health problems; he would also consider having Holm narrate the films.[29] Del Toro, in an interview with BBC radio has stated that Hugo Weaving will also reprise his role as Elrond.[1] All 13 Dwarves and Beorn will appear,[16] while Thorin's father Thráin II will also feature.[24] Doug Jones—who portrayed various creatures in Hellboy, its sequel and Pan's Labyrinth – was interested in playing Thranduil, King of Mirkwood and Legolas' father, but del Toro said he wanted Jones for a different role.[33] Similarly, Hellboy star Ron Perlman is a person whom del Toro has "something in mind for".[16]

Del Toro and Jackson have a positive working relationship, where they will compromise on disagreements to the benefit of the film.[16] Del Toro believes he will be able to shoot all of the films himself,[35] although Jackson noted he had similar hopes for filming all of his trilogy, and has offered to help as second unit director. Del Toro will shoot the films in the trilogy's 2.35:1 aspect ratio, rather than his signature 1.85:1 ratio.[16] He hopes to collaborate again with cinematographer Guillermo Navarro.[26] Del Toro shares Jackson's passion for scale models and background paintings,[36] though he wants to increase the use of animatronics; "We really want to take the state-of-the-art animatronics and take a leap ten years into the future with the technology we will develop for the creatures in the movie. We have every intention to do for animatronics and special effects what the other films did for virtual reality."[18] Spectral Motion (Hellboy, Fantastic Four) are among those Del Toro wants to work with again.[26] Some characters will be created by mixing computer-generated imagery with animatronics, and some will solely be created with animatronics or animation. Gollum will be entirely digital again, as Del Toro noted "if it ain't broke, why fix it?"[36]

Del Toro and Jackson considered the sudden introduction to Bard the Bowman and Bilbo being unconscious during the Battle of the Five Armies to be "less cinematic moments" reminiscent of the novel's more "fairy tale world" than The Lord of the Rings, which they would change to make The Hobbit feel more like the trilogy. However, Del Toro considered some of these moments like Bilbo waking up to find the battle is over iconic and would require the "fairy tale logic [to] work as is".[24]

Second film redigér

When you lay out [...] the story beats contained within the book (before even considering any apendix{{{1}}} material) the work is enormous and encompasses more than one film. That's why we are thinking of the TWO INSTALLMENTS as parts of a single NARRATIVE. That's why I keep putting down the use of a "bridge" film (posited initially). I think the concept as such is not relevant anymore. I believe that the narrative and characters are rich enough to fit in TWO films.

A post by Del Toro on TheOneRing.net[37]

MGM expressed interest in a second film in 2006, set between The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings.[38] Jackson concurred, stating "one of the drawbacks of The Hobbit is [that] it's relatively lightweight compared to Lord of the Rings... There [are] a lot of sections in which a character like Gandalf disappears for a while. From memory – I mean, I haven't read it for a while now – but I think he references going off to meet with the White Council, who are actually characters like Galadriel and Saruman and people that we see in Lord of the Rings. He mysteriously vanishes for a while and then comes back, but we don't really know what goes on."[9] Jackson was also interested in showing Gollum's journey to Mordor and Aragorn setting a watch on the Shire.[39]

After his hiring in 2008, Del Toro confirmed the sequel would be about "trying to reconcile the facts of the first movie with a slightly different point of view. You would be able to see events that were not witnessed in the first."[31] He also noted the story must be drawn from only what is mentioned in The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings, as they do not have the rights to The Silmarillion and Unfinished Tales.[40] Del Toro also added (before writing began) that if they could not find a coherent story for the second film, they would just film The Hobbit, stating "The Hobbit is better contained in a single film and kept brisk and fluid with no artificial 'break point'."[41] By November 2008, he elaborated he felt the book was more detailed and eventful than people may remember.[42] Del Toro was faced with two possible places to split the story,[23] including Smaug's defeat. He noted the second film would need to end by leading directly into The Fellowship of the Ring.[43] In June 2009, Del Toro revealed he had decided where to divide the story based on comments from fans about signifying a change in Bilbo's relationship with the dwarves.[44]

The second film's story would also have depended on how many actors could have reprised their roles.[16] Christopher Lee, who played Saruman in Jackson's films, said he would have liked to have shown the Wizard's corruption by Sauron,[45] but he would not be comfortable flying to New Zealand at his age.[46]

Video games redigér

Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment have the rights to develop a video game based on The Hobbit following the expiration of Electronic Arts' The Lord of the Rings license in 2008. Traveller's Tales also created a demo for a Lego version of The Hobbit as a pitch to Jackson.[47]
