Peter Jackson brought Del Toro on board as Director of the upcoming film 'The Hobbit' to give our next trip into middle earth a fresh view and new look. What kind of new look you say? Ask and you shall receive:
"It's an absolute delight to be working with Guillermo Del Toro. We've all enjoyed his craft as seen in 'Pan's Labyrinth' and the 'Hellboy' movies. His unique aesthetic and storytelling style brings a lovely aesthetic to the world and one we're enjoying being part of,"
"We're just patiently waiting for it to begin. It's been in early development for a while. I'm sure it will get going some time soon," Taylor said.
He said he will stick to a consistent look for the main characters that appear in both the "Rings" series and "The Hobbit."
Taylor, who also won Oscars for his work on the "Rings" series, said he doesn't know if "The Hobbit" will be released in 3-D, but said the Weta team will take advantage of technological advancements since the first trilogy.
"Like any film, there will be an effort to utilize the tools that are available to us today to achieve visual images that will excite and intrigue an audience as we did try 10 years ago."
All this from the president of WETA. I cant wait to see any kind of set pics, costume designs, anything but talk. I want some visual aid! We all know Del Toro is a creative genius, 'The Hobbit' should be very rich in visual effects and back ground. Hit the jump for more!
