Three Possible Titles For "The Hobbit-Part 3"

Now that we've had confirmation that "The Hobbit-Part 3" is also getting made and that Peter Jackson will return as the director, all eyes are now on the subtitle will be for the third part in the prequel trilogy.
Part 1 is called "An Unexpected Journey", part 2 is called "There And Back Again" and New Line have registered not one, not two, but a possible three titles for part 3.

1. The Hobbit: Riddles In The Dark
2. The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug
3. The Hobbit: The Battle Of Five Armies

Personally I like the third title choice, "The Battle Of Five Armies". I don't know why though. I guess it just sounds right for a "Lord Of the Rings/Hobbit" film really.

Some "Hobbit" Casting News!

Obviously, most of this news has been confirmed for a while, but I've been offline. So here it is, Orlando Bloom has been confirmed to be returning to the role of Legolas for "The Hobbit" films. This news was confirmed by Peter Jackson via his facebook page. It's not yet been confirmed if his part in the films will be big or if they'll just be small cameos.
Another "Sherlock" star has joined the cast too, that being Sherlock Holmes himself, Benedict Cumberbatch. There's no word on which character he will be playing, but I'm sure we'll find out soon enough. 
And the final cast member is none other than Stephen Fry, who'll be starring in Guy Richie's "Sherlock Holmes 2". Fry will be playing the role of The Master Of Laketown.

News Mash-Up On "The Hobbit"

I'm gonna be lazy and just make one BIG post on all things Hobbity! I just cannot be fucked make two or three posts on the same thing. Here it is:
First, Andy Serkis has announced that he will not only be playing Gollum in "The Hobbit: Part 1&2", but he'll also become the Second Unit Director on both films. This is what he said, "I think I understand Peter's sensibility and we have a common history of understanding Middle Earth," Serkis continued on by adding, "A lot of the crew from 'The Lord of the Rings' was returning to work on 'The Hobbit.' There is really a sense of Peter wanting people around him who totally understand the material and the work ethic."
Second, "The Hobbit" films are so very fucking close to closing a deal with Orlando Bloom, who is reportedly returning to the role of Legolas from the previous "Lord Of The Rings" films. And this is what Bloom had to say on returning to the role, "Yeah, it's looking like that. I'm really excited about going to see Pete [Jackson] again. It's still a little up in the air, but the idea of working with Pete is fantastic. I can't actually really talk too much about it, at this point. I just was given the script to piece through, so it's quite exciting."

Obviously this was gonna be happening, but the studio still feel better if they publically announce that these actors are returning. We all knew they were returning, but just keep the studio happy.
Now there's no need for me the mention who these three greats will be playing in the two upcoming "Hobbit" prequels, because you'd be fucking stupid not to know!

"The Hobbit: Part 1&2-3D" Finally Get The Greenlight With Jackson Directing Both!

Alle Fucking-Luia! MGM have finally greenlighted the upcoming "Lord Of The Rings" prequels, "The Hobbit: Part 1&2-3D".
Principle photography is said to begin in Febuary 2011, with Peter Jackson returning as director for both films. He has said that he plans to once again film them back-to-back.
Martin Freeman is said to be one step away from signing onto the role of young Bilbo Baggins. And David Tennent is rumored to be signing on for an unknown role also. He seems to be impressing producers with his performance as the new Peter Vincent in Dreamworks remake of "Fright Night", which is set for release next year. Nice!
"Cold Feet" star, James Nesbitt is also been offered a role in the film, along with "X-Men: First Class" star, Michael Fassbender. And Sylvestor McCoy has been offered the role of Radagast The Brown, which I did post like a few months back. Now we have the name of the character that he's been offered. Comedian, Bill Bailey announced that he auditioned for the role of Gloin, but hasn't had any word back yet about it.
If they all deffo sign onto the project(s), then they will be joining Andy Serkis (Gollum) and Ian McKellen (Gandolf). It's been reported by Deadline, that casting announcements will be made in the next few weeks. AWESOME!
