Elijah Wood to headline comedy show on FX
Jul 01, 2010 - 12:25 PM - by Bambi
Elijah Wood will be headlining a remake of the hit Australian sitcom Wilfred on the FX network.

The project, which is being adapted by Family Guy vet David Zuckerman, revolves around a guy (Wood), a girl, and a mixed-breed dog named Wilfred, whom Zuckerman describes as “part Labrador retriever and part Russell Crowe on a bender.”

Production on the pilot will begin later this summer.

Jun 01, 2010 - 4:48 AM - by Elwen
After Guillermo del Toro has left the Hobbit, Peter Jackson is now considering how to proceed with the project. He is looking for a new director, but is no longer ruling out directing the project himself, if this is what it takes to save it.

No news is bad news....
May 28, 2010 - 2:51 PM - by Elwen
Hollywoodnews.com cought up with Guilllermo del Toro and he confirmed what many of us have been suspecting already. The situation at MGM is still not resolved, and the film cannot be greenlit until this situation has been sorted out.

If this goes on for much longer, the release date for the first Hobbit film might be pushed back beyond the currently planned date of 2012.

What goes for 'news' these days
May 23, 2010 - 5:18 PM - by Elwen
TORN has just summarised the few bits and pieces of information about the Hobbit production that have recently surfaced. I would take all of these with a spoonful of salt.
  • It seems clear that preparations are continuing in spite of the difficult situation at MGM.
  • Apparently they are currently hoping to start shooting in November.
  • They seem to be getting more serious about shooting in 3D (probably inevitable following Avatar and the apparent rise of 3D blockbusters).
  • There are some signs that the situation at MGM might be in the process of being sorted out.
