Several sources are reporting part 1 of The Hobbit movie has been postponed by at least a year.
The Shooting of ‘The Hobbit’, which was planned to begin in New Zealand this winter, has been postponed until 2010 – with the release date pushed back to 2012.
However, as yet the cause for the delay is unknown.
Originally the first Hobbit movie was set for a 2011 Christmas release with part 2 the following Christmas.
Update: TheOneRing.Net say they have been in touch with Del Toro and he claims the rumors are unfounded.
