The Hobbit casting taking place very soon

The troubled prequel of the classic and epic ‘Lord of the Rings’ series is heating up. Stuff.co.nz says that the first casting call will launch this weekend. They are looking for young folks (16 years old) for ‘scale doubles’ (don’t know what that means)
This is a big step forward for this production that was halted and suffered development hell for some years (Peter Jackson legal dispute over royalties with Warner Bros, Guillermo del Toro leaving, MGM dispute over rights, etc.)
The Hobbit will be a 2 parts film directed by Peter Jackson (who I think had some experience before with this saga, but I’m not quite sure… :p)
It is planned to be filmed in native 3D and the estimated release date is still unknown. They are targeting for 2012, but we’ll see.
Stay tuned for more news regarding this, hopefully good news from now on…

The Hobbit casting roundup: Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis and Elijah Wood casted in

Peter Jackson’s very anticipated (and somewhat troubled) production The Hobbit is coming along nicely: they finally signed on Ian McKellen (Gandalf), Andy Serkis (Gollum/Smeagol) and Elijah Wood (Frodo Baggins) to reprise their characters in the two part prequel of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
There are rumors also about negotiations to get Christopher Lee (it’s amazing he’s still alive to make it into this movie), Iam Holm (he played Bilbo Baggins in LOTR), Hugo Weaving (Elrod) and Orlando Bloom (Legolas). But there’s no confirmation yet about them.
Filming is set for next month in New Zealand.

Pixar’s upcoming movie Brave plot revealed

Not much is known story-wise about the upcoming Pixar-Disney production entitled ‘Brave’. We got our first look of this movie some months ago with a teaser that was attached to Cars 2 and a poster.
But now, thanks to PixarPlanet.com, we can finally see what the story is all about:

Since ancient times, stories of epic battles and mystical legends have been passed through the generations across the rugged and mysterious Highlands of Scotland. In “Brave,” a new tale joins the lore when the courageous Merida (voice of Kelly Macdonald) confronts tradition, destiny and the fiercest of beasts.
Merida is a skilled archer and impetuous daughter of King Fergus (voice of Billy Connolly) and Queen Elinor (voice of Emma Thompson). Determined to carve her own path in life, Merida defies an age-old custom sacred to the uproarious lords of the land: massive Lord MacGuffin (voice of Kevin McKidd), surly Lord Macintosh (voice of Craig Ferguson) and cantankerous Lord Dingwall (voice of Robbie Coltrane). Merida’s actions inadvertently unleash chaos and fury in the kingdom, and when she turns to an eccentric old Witch (voice of Julie Walters) for help, she is granted an ill-fated wish. The ensuing peril forces Merida to discover the meaning of true bravery in order to undo a beastly curse before it’s too late.

Directed by Mark Andrews and Brenda Chapman, and produced by Katherine Sarafian, “Brave” is a grand adventure full of heart, memorable characters and the signature Pixar humor enjoyed by audiences of all ages. The film takes aim at theaters on June 22, 2012, and will be presented in Disney Digital 3D™ in select theaters.

So there you have it. Can’t wait to see it.
