The Two Hobbit Films Names Announced !
31 May
You can probably guess one of them
New Line Cinema, Warner Bros and MGM have announced the titles and release dates for director Peter Jackson’s two-film adaptation of The Hobbit.
Considering the book’s famous subtitle, we were hoping for Part One to be called The Hobbit: There and Part Two to be called The Hobbit: And Back Again, but sadly not quite. Instead Part One will be known as The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and Part Two will be The Hobbit: There And Back Again. The first title seems to be a doff of the cap to the name of the first chapter of the book: “An Unexpected Party”.
The first film is now schediled to be released on 14 December 2012, while the second will be released on December 13, 2013
Orlando Bloom to return as Legolas in The Hobbit!
28 May
Orlando Bloom is back! The British actor’s elf ears and bow and arrow will live again. Bloom has finally been confirmed to reprise the role of Legolas in Jackson’s The Hobbit. Jackson is officially getting the old band back together.
Peter Jackson confirmed the casting news when he announced Bloom’s return on Facebook:
“Ten years ago, Orlando Bloom created an iconic character with his portrayal of Legolas. I’m excited to announce today that we’ll be revisiting Middle-earth with him once more. I’m thrilled to be working with Orlando again. Funny thing is, I look older–and he doesn’t! I guess that’s why he makes such a wonderful elf.”
The Hobbit is currently shooting down in New Zealand, with Martin Freeman playing the title character. Bloom will rejoin other Lord of the Rings actors Elijah Wood, Andy Serkis, Hugo Weaving and Cate Blanchett. Everyone’s in this thing! There’s a reason they’re breaking it up into two parts.
The first Hobbit is expected to open on Dec. 19, 2012, while Part 2 will open in December 2013. The releases will be a year apart
Syfy explains to fans why ‘Stargate Universe’ was cancelled.
14 May
Every since the announcement that Syfy was canceling Stargate Universe, the fans have been mighty pissed. And Syfy isn’t taking it lying down any longer. In a letter to Stargate fans everywhere the studio explains why SGU had to go.
Craig Engler, Senior Vice President and General Manager of Syfy Digital, penned a letter over at Gateworld breaking down the real reasons SGU was canned. It shouldn’t surprise you all that the underlying reason was indeed the numbers:
Engler maps out the fall of SGU both in the letter, and with a chart (attached). He also addressed the accusations that Syfy never cared for the Stargate franchise and is just clearing out more room for wrestling:
You canceled SGU because you hate science fiction:
If we didn’t like science fiction we simply wouldn’t have made SGU. It’s because we like science fiction that we tried it. Even though SGU was ultimately unsuccessful, we don’t regret trying it. Science fiction shows are the backbone and lifeblood of our network, and we have many in development. Later this year we’ll be debuting Alphas, the Battlestar Galactica: Blood & Chrome pilot is being worked on as you read this, the movie Red Faction starring Stargate Universe‘s Brian Jacob Smith will air next month, 5 of our original dramas will return with new seasons or new episodes this year, and we’re working on many more behind the scenes.
You canceled SGU in order to make wrestling:
We would have happily kept making SGU regardless of anything else on our schedule if the ratings were sustainable. We don’t discontinue successful shows to make room for other shows … no network does because no network has a full roster of successful series. SGU was judged solely on its own ratings.
