I went back and had a look at some of my posts in the 'What Say You' Thread discussions - this was prior to GdT taking on the role of Director, but it had just been reported and looked as if it was possible he might Direct - the post date: Jan 29 2008
Q: Do you think there is a chance or change - that Peter will direct the Hobbit or the other film? Elven: Yes, I think there will be a change - and unexpected change at that - almost Peter taking the reins by default - though that wouldn't be a bad move closer to the movies becoming a reality, even if they have started filming ... I think it woulld even start with the script ... but Peter steps in to save the day ... we all love a hero who can do that, and he is capable and in the position presently to do that ... but not just yet. I dont think things will go as planned if Del Toro is confirmed as Director. Q: If you believe it to be true - what do you feel Del Toro will bring to the Hobbit? Elven: Hold-ups. I dont think this guy has the luck on his side down the line. Some of this I think relates to timing ... it going to be long overdrawn and there will be difficulties around the making of this movie ... expect the unexpected and irreversable to happen - and I think its out of the hands of anyone to change it ... Q: Are you happy with this choice? Elven: as theres no choice yet made, its hard to say - but in essence - No. But thats not to say the right choices wont be made in the long run ... Q: What are your other thoughts on this current report? Elven: This seems to be swift decision making - a hopeful new prospect like Del Toro mixed with much antisipation and anxiety. and I have to say I feel there is some reluctance by Del Toro around this step - (even though there are no reports) with the direction of who is to direct - even if it is confirmed - expectations and all that ... and Im not sure presently if what is being asked of Del Toro is as clear cut as its made out to be - Director ... (title yes, but as for whats expected - no) or exactly what he feels he can bring to the plate himself - . If I said there is a political element involved here, I not sure Id be speculating too far from the truth, but it has to do with skill and creativity, and im sure that these two elements are going to clash at some point ... or one will try to over-ride the other, but these seem only to be half the story - the whole deal would seem very tempting and I think there would be a definite attraction to having a name like his linked to these films ... but Im still feeling that Del Toro will not hold the reins for long ... if this comes through .. I know there is also a post I wrote about the 'new technology' which would be available at the time the Hobbit comes out - Im still searching for the post - around 2007 - but Im just thrilled as punch that this is how it is evolving now. I wish I'd put a wager on this now ... LOL
