Hobbit Film Finally Gets Green Light, To Be Shot in 3-D

An anonymous reader writes with word that "after much kerfuffle and uncertainty, the Hobbit film has finally been greenlit," with Peter Jackson as director. Says the linked story: "The announcement did not state whether the two-part prequel to The Lord of the Rings would be shot in New Zealand. Matt Dravitzki, Jackson's assistant at Wingnut Films, said an annoucement on the place of filming would be 'probably a week or two away.'"

    Terrific! I'd pay to see a hobbit being shot, whether it was in 3-D or not. Furry little bastards!

    It would have been surreal and fantastical instead of just static footage of New Zealand plains.

    *criticizes movie that comprised static footage of New Zealand plains that was sourced from a book that is 75% static description of English plains.* ;)
