Peter Jackson has been talking about the problems they face casting for The Hobbit.

In the video interview you can see below he explains how they are looking for particular characteristics in the actors who are auditioning for the parts of Dwarves, Elves and of course, Hobbits.

He also confirms the rumors that were circulating the internet about The Hobbit being delayed a few weeks ago (not reported here) were well off the mark. Shooting is still on course to start March/April time.

He does note however that it’s in the hands of the studio as they have to wait for the go ahead from them.

As long as shooting starts by the middle of the year though, The Hobbit will be ready for release Christmas 2011.

The second Hobbit movie script should be with the studio any time now.
