as he told MTV in an interview:
So what of the “bridge” film? Guillermo del Toro has told MTV News that he has ruled out directing the project after his commitment to the two “Hobbit” films.
“I’m doing only two movies because I felt that that was the best way to service the book,” the director said. “I’m not saying the other notion was not discussed. We discussed it a large degree. But I felt that for me, the two films were the way to go.”
that you can find here:
I guess the keyword here is "me". Does that mean that PJ is not ruling out making a bridge film? I'm not certain, but I thought GdT and PJ will swap for The Hobbit 2, so PJ is directing and GdT will be the producer, but please correct me if I'm wrong about this. PJ could then continue directing the bridge film, what would be the most logical thing to do. If they are ever going to make a bridge film, I think the best moment to do it will be after the two Hobbit movies, because everything is there already, and maybe after a short break, they could film this bridge movie as well. All sets are rebuilt, all the actors are at hand and equipment is already in New-Zealand, so the production costs will be much lower if they start shooting it right after the Hobbit movies. If they i.e. decide to shoot it five years later, it has many disadvantages, like all the actors has aged another five years, and could be tied to other film projects, the sets needs again to be rebuilt, so it will be far more difficult to do it then I guess. So, I wonder: do you like or dislike the idea of a bridge film, and why?
