Can't tell you how happy I am that Jackson ended up on this film. He did the trilogy beautifully!

I am PUMPED for this! I am so happy that Jackson is directing and that they are doing it in two films, there is way too much story for one film.

Wrong, the first film is due Christmas 2012. That's about 1 1/2 years.

I'm really happy that he ended up on this film too. After all that drama with the Actors Guild blah blah blah. I was there at the protests here in Wellington. This deserves to be kept local.

In 3D? That may or may not be cool. But it is cool to keep the blog going for fans to look in on production. That is usually sold as a DVD later on.

This 48 frames/sec thing worries me too...but I'm gonna just hold tight and have faith in the PJ and his team...err army.

I just fail to see why a fantasy film has the need to look more real beyond what they accomplished in the previous installments. It may be utterly amazing or it may just end up weird. Guess we'll see eventually.

there was link to a similar page about the Tintin movie...which i was excited about, but i thought it was supposed to be live action. I mean, i appreciate the technological advancements with CGI, but it doesn't necessarily make a better movie. Especially when adapting something already animated, it removes any real point to the project imo. ugh...

48 fps is a step in the right direction. We need to be at 120 fps, that's when film will really start to look real.

IMO, the reason it needs to look real is that the whole look is hyper-realistic, that is what pulls you in, it's not a fairy tale. Anyway, Jackson wants to advance the state of the art, and this is a logical step.

I agree that 3D may or may not add much, it usually doesn't detract, but the glasses can be annoying.

I disagree with the 120fps thing - a LOT.
