❛ War-born child, you carry such horror in your heart, you were made to carry
brawls between your knuckles & bury old memories between your ribs ❜
cause of death: second hand embarrassment
Thinking about all the things that could have been (Guillermo del Toro’s H*bbit movies)
Thinking about the one that got away (Guillermo del Toro’s H*bbit movies)
Feel like pure shit just want him back (Guillermo del Toro directing the H*bbit movies)
Some quotes about Del Torro’s Hobbit movies that keep me up at night:
Del Toro believed that the first film needed to have a different tone than the second one, committing to the feel of a fairy tale. His aim was to alter the aesthetic of The Hobbit from the look and feel of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, making something different. He gathered sketches from older editions of the novel and paintings from fans of the works of Tolkien to inspire the texture and details of the piece. The design of the wargs, for example, was new, as Guillermo felt that Jackson’s design was a little too close to real-world wolves, and Guillermo wanted to emulate the demon wolves found in Norse mythology. [x]
And:
Del Torro: “The only thing I will be pushing for more in these films that the other three are full animatronics and animatronic creatures enhanced with CGI, as opposed to CGI creatures themselves. We really want to take the state-of-the-art animatronics and take a leap ten years into the future with the technology we will develop for the creatures in the movie. We have every intention to do for animatronics and special effects what the other films did for virtual reality.” [x]
AND
Del Toro had a dogged commitment to keeping the film very close in mood and detail to the novel. His two planned films would have followed the story in a meaningful way, using a color code to designate the passage of time as well as Bilbo’s personal journey. His aesthetic would have been fanciful and macabre, focusing on favorite scenes like the contest of riddles between Gollum and Bilbo, which del Toro considers the most beautiful in the book. [x]
Of course he wanted to make something different from lotr, he understood that The Hobbit is a very different book from lotr. He sounds so passionate about it
Lil cutie
saying ohhhh when you still don’t get it >>>>>>
Is it just me or do other people get homesick from books? Like, you miss the comforting feel of the characters, the fandom, and the world created by the author?
