On Set Of 'The Hobbit'- Peter Jackson Posts First Production Video

In an official exclusive from The Hollywood Reporter, Peter Jackson is using social media to reach out to his fans in a 10 minute "vlog" (shot in HD)- in the first official production video for The Hobbit.  The video has been released via Facebook and on the official Hobbit blog, and according to THR,the vlog "will be the first in a series of vlog [posts] that will keep fans in the know over the next 2-3 years." Check out more at the official Hobbit Blog.

The video includes Jackson leading us through Bag End, as well as several sets from Rivendell, which he says are the same as the first movies.  Jackson said "Walking through Rivendell is strange...because it was 10 or 11 years ago. I'm used to looking at the set on film and now we're walking back into it again, its like you're stepped back into a movie." In several places, it is obvious that Jackson doesn't want to reveal too much, especially when referring to the Mystic Mountains, saying "the iconic scenes where Bilbo...well you'll know if you've read the book."

In the 10 minute video, we also garner images of costumes (fittings) and props, as well as Andy Serkis in his Gollum motion capture suit, and "Dwarf training". There is also brief commentary from a few members of the cast:  Martin Freeman (Bilbo), Ian McKellan (Gandalf), and Andy Serkis (Gollum).

The video also shows Jackson kidding around with Ian Mckellan,  and a traditional Maori welcoming ceremony, which according to THR, is called a "Powhiri", that is supposed to bless the main sound stage at dawn on the first day of shooting".

1st Official On-Screen Pic of James Franco in 'Rise of The Apes'

James Franco has been busy of late. Outside of hosting the Oscars this Sunday night, he has earned lots of recognition for his recent film 127 Hours (the film has been nominated for 'Best Picture' category, and the actor himself has earned a nomination for 'Actor in a Leading Role') at the awards.

It is also rumored that Franco will also play the wizard in the upcoming Sam Raimi directed, Oz: The Great and Powerful.  But there is tons of anticipation on his (apetastic)upcoming flick- Rise of the Apes- the story will be a prequel /origin story to the popular franchise Planet of the Apes.

 Franco, plays scientist Will Rodman, whose experiments on the ape Caesar (Andy Serkis) will lead to apes with prescience, and, eventually to the war between mankind and apes over world domination.  Apparently this film will depart from the original, in that the apes will be CG.

JoBlo debuted this first look. What do you think about this movie?  Do you think CG apes will work?  I am totally psyched to see this ape apocalypse film!

Guillermo Del Toro To Do Stop-Motion 'Pinocchio'

via Deadline

Guillermo del Toro, along with The Jim Henson Company and Pathe are scheduled to shoot a 3D stop motion animated adaptation of the fairytale Pinocchio. According to an exclusive from Deadline, this film will be much edgier than the previous Disney adaption.

The concept design is based on an illustrated 2002 book by Gris Grimly (who will also co-direct along with Mark Gustafson).

No surprise here that the storyline has come from del Toro (along with frequent collaborator, Matthew Robbins). Robbins will also be the scripwriter.  Del Toro will co-produce alongside Jim Henson Company's Lisa Henson and Jason Lust, and Allison Abbate.  Gary Ungar will be executive producer, along with Pathe's Francois Ivernel and Cameron McCracken.

When asked about the darker take on this much loved story, del Toro said "There has to be darkness in any fairy tale or children's narrative work, something the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Anderson and Walt Disney understood,"  he went on to say "We tend to call something Disney-fied, but a lot of people forget how powerfully disturbing the best animated Disney movies are, including those kids being turned into donkeys in Pinocchio."
