Ian McKellen reportedly discussed the progress of Guillermo Del Toro’s “The Hobbit” to audiences at a ‘LOTR’ marathon in London over the weekend. According to the actor, a Bilbo Baggins has been cast, a script for the film will arrive for him next week and production will begin next March when he is due to fly to New Zealand. Looks like they’ve got that green light after all?
And March ’10? James McAvoy’s slate currently has “I’m With Cancer” due to shoot in January and potentially Robert Redford’s Abraham Lincoln Assassination film which will shoot in the fall… Could that fit? The ‘Cancer’ shoot won’t go longer than two months now would it? Probably not… [TheOneRing]
