Peter Jackson has revealed that casting for the two Hobbit films started this week. Jackson, who will produce the two films and is writing with screenwriters Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens and director Guillermo del Toro also discussed some details on its status:
“We’re still working on the script, and of course it’s going to be directed by Guillermo [del Toro],” Jackson said. “That’s going really well, and in fact we’ve already delivered the first script to the studio, and they really liked it, so now we’re working hard on the second script, and that’s going to keep us pretty busy until the end of this year.”
“There’s no budget yet, and no cast, but we plan to start shooting next year, with the first one coming out by the end of 2011, hopefully,” Jackson said. “And while Guillermo’s making The Hobbit, I’m not quite sure what I’ll be working on, as I want to make completely sure that I’m doing what I need to do for The Hobbit, and that I’ll be there to help Guillermo.”
