Reply With QuoteWhy would he talk normal in this? He's already Gollum in the Hobbit. I don't remember any flashbacks to him before he became Gollum at all in the Hobbit.

One thing that always bugged me about LOTR was the way Serkis played Smeagol in the flash back scenes. Why was he talking like Gollum when Smeagol was still "human"? He should have had a normal voice, with the Gollum voice being the result of his physical and mental degeneration due to the ring. I hope he talks normal this time. I can't take a big part of the movie with a regular "human" character talking like that for no reason. But in that case they wouldn't even need Serkis.

Yeah, you don't even find out about his past until LotR, in The Hobbit he's just this weird creature.

I hope this movie turns out well. My friend Jason might be moving to New Zealand to work with WETA on it!
Do you prefer dogs or cats?
Guillermo Del Toro is handling this? Less CGI and more Animatronics? Ian McKellen?
If these movies are anything but amazing, there's something off balance in the world.

Really, what does your friend Jason do? If it's anything animation related can he get me a job?

From UGO:Great news IMO. Jackson, Boyens and Walsh adapted LOTR as well as I can imagine it being done, and if it ain't broke...Peter Jackson More Involved In ‘Hobbit’

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro’s search for writers for “The Hobbit” and its companion film has ended, with the filmmakers deciding that no one is better suited for the task than they are.
Del Toro, who is directing the movies, will team with the “Lord of the Rings” filmmaker and “Hobbit” executive producer Jackson to adapt the J.R.R. Tolkien book and write its follow-up. Also joining them in the writers room are Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens, both of whom collaborated with Jackson on the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy.
The news caps off an eight-month search for a scribe to tackle the coveted task of bringing the literary classic to the big screen. When Jackson and New Line resolved their differences over profit participation in the “Rings” films, Jackson said he would not be writing the “Hobbit” movies because of other commitments, though he does have approval over creative elements in his role as exec producer.
Later, when del Toro came aboard, the deal was that the two would oversee the search for scribes and the writing. In the interim, three factors came into play: 1) The filmmakers saw their schedules open up, 2) During the general discussions about the films, they realized how much affection they had for the material, and 3) They also realized that in order to make the release dates, the process required people intimate with Tolkien’s world of Middle Earth. All led to the decision that they would do the honors themselves along with Walsh and Boyens.
“The Hobbit,” written by Tolkien for his children years before the “Rings" trilogy, follows a young Bilbo Baggins, who finds his comfortable life turned upside down when the wizard Gandalf takes him on a journey for a hoard of treasure that involves trolls, humans, Gollum and his ring of invisibility and a dragon named Smaug.
“Hobbit” and its sequel are being co-produced, co-financed and co-distributed by New Line and MGM, with New Line managing production and handling domestic distribution through Warner Bros. and MGM distributing internationally.
The films will be shot simultaneously, with principal photography tentatively set for a late-2009 start. New Line and MGM hope to release “Hobbit” in 2011 and its sequel the following year.
