Viggo talks Hobbit at the Toronto Film Festival 08 ... Can't Post

A small interview with Viggo Mortensen at the Toronto Film Festival - and a snippet from the interview ...
No doubt there will be more (interviews on the Hobbit) since he is doing the rounds promoting his two films -
but here he talks about speaking with someone from the project - and that he'll be in NZ in January Cool

NZ TV3 Viggo Mortensen Interview at the Toronto Film Festival sept 08 - watch the interview here Smile

http://www.scoop.co.nz/...rtainment/12756.html


Quote

Interviewer: [snip]“... but then we had a talk about the Hobbit – he hasn’t committed to film, obviously the book purists are a little bit worried – because the character of Aragorn doesn’t appear in the Hobbit, but he might appear in the film – this is what Aragorn had to say ...”

Interviewer: Are we going to see a bit of Aragorn in the Hobbit, what do you think?

Viggo: I don’t know, I’ve heard that the bridge movie (err) - I haven’t been approached by the Director or anything – but I saw someone who was involved in the project and they asked if that would be something I’d be interested in doing – and I said well I’d love to see what you guys write – it’s going to have to be an invention using the appendices from the book or something, yeah ... (pause) ... I mean Yeah, obviously if you’ve established a character yourself, you’d rather do it yourself than see another actor do it.

Interviewer: Absolutely – so you’ll be down in NZ soon I hope?

Viggo: Well, I hope so. I’m going to go there anyway regardless ..

Interviewer: Are you?

Viggo: Yeah I should be there in January or so ... [snip]



Smile The someone sounds like one of the writers ...
and Im curious to know what is happening in NZ to do with the films in January ...

Keeping fingers crossed.
Cheers

My impression is [In reply to] Can't Post

that they're all tiptoeing the line a bit - wanting to say something but aren't allowed to.

Hm, so someone to do with the production has talked with him? Good. That could only be the four scriptwriters. Of course not the director, GDT is still only one of the scriptwriters Wink


Well, Viggo doesn't belong into the Hobbit, but I'd love to see him back in F2 if they find a good way to do it!

Thanks, Elven!

Interesting... I hope he'll be back, obviously, but... [In reply to] Can't Post

... only for the bridge-film-or-did-we-settle-on-calling-it-film-2-man-I-wish-they-would-give-it-a-name-already.

His argument about rather doing it himself then seeing anyone else do it is a very, very valid one I believe...

For the reunion [In reply to] Can't Post

as the King, he would likely hang out and help with the films even if he wasn't in them. No way could he bare being away from all his friends while they delved back into middle earth.

tangential to F2 [In reply to] Can't Post

People keep calling it "F2", which I automatically associate with the function keys on a standard keyboard. F2, under Windows, is usually used for renaming things. Which is why I find it funny, since no one knows what the name of film 2 will be. Laugh

(Just how my brain works. Carry on.)

Ironic, yes. And on my Mac laptop, F2 is used to brighten the screen Smile

I always liked Compa's 'sprequel' better than F2 - but who am I to argue with PJ and GDT? Wink

I still like sprequel as well... it's just that since the chat I've been using their terminology.

January!! OR SO!? [In reply to] Can't Post

Oh yeah... I'm sure it's for other purposes *kaff* Not like he'd be there to give input about a character or anything. Sure. I stop by NZ all the time. Just in the neighbourhood, no problem. *twitch* omg...





sample

"Barney Snow was here." ~Hug like a hobbit!~ "In my heaven..."

I really need these new films to take me back to, and not re-introduce me to, that magical world.

Do it! [In reply to] Can't Post

You might even convince GDT that sprequel sounds much nicer Smile
And the word still fits perfectly for something that is story-chronologically a prequel and film-chronologically a sequel!

Its F2 [In reply to] Can't Post

 ... and no, I wasn't swearing at anyone Laugh

Comes from the WETA chat - an unexpected party...

Guillermo:

Quote

Hi Shane - Yes the movies will be shot back to back and the shooting of the movie will be driven by which actors are working with us at a given time and what locations we are in. For instance, if we are shooting hObbiton scenes for Hobbit movies we would also shoot Hobbiton scenes for F2. So during our year of filming we will be shooting both movies at the same time out of sequence.


and Peter repied a little furter down the discussion ..

Quote

Hi Greg - F2 is referring to Film 2



and then further along in the discussion:


Trotter_the_Ranger:
What will be the title for the second movie?
Guillermo del Toro
Too early- but not "H2 Electric Boogaloo" that has been discarded.
Peter Jackson
Hi Trots - the second movie doesn't have a title yet and probably won't until we write the script. As you will see we have the incredibly boring name Film Two which I assure you will not last for very long. Just bear with us.


So the name of the second Movie is F2 or Film 2 - and Im happy with that. Wink


Cheers
Elven
