Del Toro says he wants you to be able to sit down in 2012 and watch 1 entire movie split into 5 parts. The Hobbit he says, is no longer refferered to as 2 movies but rather as The Movie that will be shot in 2 parts.
“The reality is that we stopped talking the first movie and second movie, and we just started taking about the movie – the two episodes, or two parts, as if they were a single piece of narrative. We don’t even call it the bridge movie, we just call it ‘The Movie.’ And this is great. When we found what reverberated, and we found it in one of our virtual meetings – we understood. It’s a movie.”
“We all agree that if we do our job right, it should all feel like a continuous journey. That’s what we’re striving for,” Del Toro told MTV. “You should see a movie that’s five pictures long. If we do our job right, you put in ‘The Hobbit’ and you wind up watching the entire Pentology!”
It seems pretty much agreed that the first part will follow the The hobbit fairly closely and it is the second raising the eyebrows. Del Toro let it slip he thinks the first part will end with the killing of Smaug which means the second part (at least) starts in territory we know, The Battle of Five Armies.
If this happens it would help with the continuity of part 2 as we’ll be on familiar ground, even if its only at the beginning.
Where would you put the break?
