Get ready to celebrate, nerds!
According to actor Ian McKellen, the first of the two Hobbit films will begin shooting in July.
A spokeswoman for New Line denies the start date, but McKellen claims the ball is rolling.
“Casting in Los Angeles, New York City and London has started,” said the actor. “The first draft is crammed with old and new friends, again on a quest in Middle Earth. The director Guillermo del Toro is now living in Wellington, close to the Jacksons’ and the studio in Miramar.”
It’s rumored that Peter Jackson is scrambling to finish the second script, but it better be done soon. McKellan claims that the films will take a year to make!!!
