Of Dogs Hobbits And Bones

While attending the London premiere for The Lovely Bones director Peter Jackson looked ahead to his next two projects - the film versions of the "Tintin" graphic novel series and the literary classic The Hobbit

Filming on the motion-capture "The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn" indeed wrapped a while back after a super fast month-long shoot. Now however, Jackson says the film is already cut together with only nearly two years of animation ahead to complete.

"'Tintin' is great. It's made. The movie is cut together and now [we] are turning it into a fully-rendered film. So the movie, to some degree, exists in a very rough state" he told The BBC.

"The Hobbit": he and his co-writers helmer del Toro, Fran Walsh and frequent collaborator Philippa Boyens, have already finished the first film's script and submitted it, and they're now halfway through the 2nd film's script.

Continuity will exist between the 'Hobbit' and his "The Lord of the Rings film trilogy" with much of the dialogue written in the same way, though director Guillermo del Toro will interpret the look and feel in his own way.

"Guillermo wants to shoot in 35mm, old-fashioned film, which suits me, because he wants to keep it in the same space as the original trilogy."--Meaning No 3-D and such!!

Meantime Early word on Bones is mixed...Yikes!
