Previously reported, the movie is still in plans and indecisive manners over its production date. Peter Jackson has previously stated that the summer is a possible date to start shooting. Sources from Ian McKellen's website, the man who also known as Gandalf, wrote on his website that he will start shooting the first movie in July.

The first of two planned movies for The Hobbit has not received any official announcement from the studio New Line Cinema yet.

According to McKellen, "Filming will take over a year. Casting in Los Angeles, New York City and London has started. The script too proceeds. The first draft is crammed with old and new friends, again on a quest in Middle Earth. The director Guillermo del Toro is now living in Wellington, close to the Jacksons' and the studio in Miramar. “
