Some may have thought that MGM’s financial woes would postpone the production of the live-action Hobbit movie. But looks like Director Guillermo del Toro is determined to carry out his project: Actor Ian McKellen who played the role of Gandalf in the Lord of the Ring movie series confirmed indeed on his official site that the Hobbit movie would start shooting in July 2010:

The Hobbit Movie

“THE HOBBIT’s, two films, start shooting in New Zealand in July. 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.”

Actor Ian McKellen

Such great news make my day! The sooner they start to work on the Hobbit the better! I’m confident that it will be as amazing as LOTR!

The Switch is an upcoming comedy movie directed by Will Speck and Josh Gordon and starring Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman. The film will be released on August 20, 2010.
Here’s the first official movie trailer of the Switch:

THE SWITCH
Plot:
“Kassie, a smart, fun-loving single woman, decides it’s time to have a baby despite her neurotic best friend Wally’s (Bateman) objections. Even if it means doing it by herself… with a little help from a charming sperm donor (Patrick Wilson). But, unbeknownst to her, Kassie’s plans go awry because of a last-minute switch that isn’t discovered until seven years later when Wally finally gets acquainted with Kassie’s cute–though slightly neurotic–son.”

There is something of the Hangover in this film. Jason Bateman is awesome. Definitely want to watch the Switch, looks like a damn great comedy movie!

Lbs is an upcoming drama comedy movie, it’s a funny but touching story about an overweight guy who’s finally decided to melt his fat. The film is directed by Matthew Bonifacio and is starring Carmine Famiglietti. The film will have a limited release starting March 26, 2010. Here’s the official movie trailer of Lbs:

LbsPlot:
“At 27-years-old, Neil Perota lives at home with his parents in Brooklyn, works for his father driving a school bus and weighs over 300 pounds. Just two days before his sister’s wedding, he suffers a heart attack, creating family chaos and forcing Neil to re-evaluate his life. The next day, he heads upstate and buys a dilapidated trailer in the middle of nowhere with plans to kick his addiction to food in isolation. Two hundred miles from the comforts of home, Neil learns how to compromise, love, and survive – and that change – real change – comes from within.”

I wonder how this film is going to turn out. I guess it won’t have mass appeal, but Lbs could be a fun movie to watch.
