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

Posted by timothy on from the lighter-fare dept.

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.'"

    I didn't see Avatar in theaters, but that's how (most) of the 3D in My Bloody Valentine was - it was just there and made it seem more real. I think there was ONE moment where they did a "it's coming at you" moment, but given other movies, I think they'd have used the same shot in a 2D movie as well.
