Guillermo del Toro, director of the Oscar award winning Mexican film Pan’s Labyrinth, is directing the Hobbit, which will come out in two sets. The first instalment will be released next 2010 whilst the second will be released the following year - at least according to iMDB (which can at times, not be all that accurate).

  Peter Jackson (director of the LotR trilogy) and Fran Walsh are excecutive producers of the two films which will also be set in New Zealand.

   I’ve seen Pan’s Labyrinth and it was pretty damn wicked, although the ‘monster’ was slightly laughable when he used his hands as eyes. I believe this will be a thoroughly marvellous film as well, because del Toro is a brilliant master when it comes to films.

I got my information here as I’ve been practising my Spanish (it’s in a state of disgrace at the moment) so it would be best to Google it for more information.

I’ve blogged about this previously, but I’m not sure if I was fully understood. Sigh. The astronomical differences with English English and battered second-hand American English is to blame. Lol.

In hopes of clearing what I said: Taiwan at first wanted to make a sequel due to the popular demand of the audience and because leaving the ending at that was just painfully wretched (in my own biased opinion). But they are not making a sequel. This is due to permission of copyrights they have not obtained from Japan because Japan itself is making a sequel to their own version of Hana-Kimi.

That is the update of the future of Hana-Kimi as far as I know. There won’t be a sequel for Wu Zun, Jiro Wang and Ella Chen. Sorry.

And in a more depressing note, Shirota Yu hasn’t been casted for Japan’s Hana-Kimi sequel. :((
