Exclusive! Guillermo Del Toro Talks 'The Hobbit'!!!
We spoke with Guillermo Del Toro about his upcoming involvement in The Hobbit. When asked what direction he would take with the film, he answered, ?Visually, I have many things planned that are incredibly beautiful and things that you have never seen before. In terms of the story telling?the idea is to be as faithful as I can to the experience that I had reading it when I was 11. It?s not by any stretch of the imagination all one tone, it starts lighter and it ends up darker and melancholic and there?s a certain loss of innocence. And I think visually I plan to do a lot of stuff that is, I hope, ground breaking."
When asked about the plans of a proposed second film, he responded, "Right now it's all speculation. The idea right now is that it will form like a ramp up?like expanding the mythology a little bit and in that we have to be very careful. It has to be done as carefully as possible. I think that if there wasn?t a second film in mind, we wouldn?t do it. The fact that we?re attempting it is because we believe there is. The idea is to add to the mythology of the trilogy and the end of The Hobbit."
