Howard Shore Confirms He's Going to Be Scoring on The Hobbit

November 5, 2009 - Sir McKellen seems to be the most vocal member of the cast/crew of "The Hobbit." This time he talks about the script (which he's gotten to read) and Del Toro.
November 5, 2009 - "We are respecting the structure established by Professor Tolkien because the order of the adventures in The Hobbit is well known to generations and generations of kids... But we will be integrating Gandalf's comings and goings because he does disappear in the book quite often."
October 26, 2009 - Looks like we may be seeing Aragorn in the 2-film version of The Hobbit.
October 13, 2009 - With The Hobbit filming for 383 days, that would make the shoot 109 days longer than the original Trilogy... which seems odd... impressive, but odd.
October 5, 2009 - It's not exactly a how-to, but a how-do-they-do-it at a special effects shop (but they really are REAL swords).
October 2, 2009 - "Certain things will have to be referenced really, possibly in a more simple way, a less complicated way. So that you feel that 'The Hobbit' is a part of this [larger] story."
