Yesterday, we reported that Viggo Mortensen was amenable to the idea of appearing in Peter Jackson and Guillermo Del Toro's forthcoming 'Hobbit' film, and that the two filmmakers were looking for a way to make that happen. Today we learned that Del Toro himself is going to appear in the film (fringe benefit of being the director), and our first reaction was: "Hell ya...why not?!"...
Suspend disbelief: Guillermo Del Toro will play a big scary monster. Director Guillermo Del Toro will put himself in his MGM Hobbit epic, but in a classy Alfred Hitchcock sort of way, not in a showy M. Night Shyamalan way. In an interview with German television to hype The Strain , his new vampire book , the director revealed that he will play one of the monsters in the film but not...
Although we just ran a big update from Guillermo del Toro on all things The Hobbit last week, we have yet another interesting, and pretty damn cool, update to feature today. Over on The One Ring forums (via SlashFilm), someone translated an interview with del Toro where he said: "In The Hobbit I will play a small monster. I will transform myself in a small creature, not an important...
Yes, you read that right, so stop rubbing your eyes and tell me - wouldn't you do the same thing if you were him? Despite a pretty solid ring of secrecy around the production, we know that Del Toro and team are deep into the development of their Hobbit movies. So far they've seemingly finished one screenplay and several creature designs, have hired Guillermo Navarro to shoot the film and have...

TheOneRing.net says that The Hobbit director confirmed on their message boards that he'll be making a cameo appearance as a small monster: I had a hand on the design of the creature and I will personally sculpt the appliances that will be applied on my face and hands. I used to sculpt the creatures for NECROPIA (my FX company) and I miss it a bit. I will have a line or two and die quickly. Del Toro's...

... the Rings movies but we do now know of at least one other person who definitely will be. Guillermo del Toro is directing the movies, of course, but he’ll also appear in them! He dropped by to tell them he’s working on his Hobbit cameo.

We're still a good two years away from being able to dip back into the Shire for THE HOBBIT, so understandably Guillermo Del Toro is keeping details under lock and key. That way he can try and blow our minds just a few months before on "Hobbit Day" in IMAX theaters. Unless someone tries that beforehand to some level of indifference.*cough* The big guy still likes...
... wanted. Until McKellen chatted with us, he was thinking that perhaps "Hobbit" director Guillermo del Toro might spare his actors such lengthy repetition. "A slight shiver went through me just then," McKellen said with a smile, "because I thought perhaps [Guillermo] might be a little quicker than Peter, but maybe he won't be. He's a bit of a perfectionist. But this script plays very much...
"I was calmly laying out the next decade of my life when The Hobbit appeared. I was preparing all these things and all of a sudden The Hobbit shows up and takes over my life." Total Film has published an epic 10-page Q&A with director Guillermo del Toro on all things The Hobbit. Of course, we still don't know who is playing Bilbo or when they'll start shooting (considering MGM...
... sources. McKellen wouldn't elaborate any further than that, but a recent interview Guillermo del Toro gave to TotalFilm may shed some additional light on what the Gandalf actor was referring to. "We are respecting the structure established by Professor Tolkien because the order of the adventures in 'The Hobbit' is well known to generations and generations of kids," the director said. "You...
