Confirmado Ian McKellen para The Hobbit

Ian McKellen Gandalf en The Hobbit

Habemus Gandalf, y si eres fan de las películas de The Lord of the Rings, estarás de acuerdo en que no podía haber otro en el papel del mago que hiciera famoso Ian McKellen.

Las noticias de la nueva película de Peter Jackson, The Hobbit, siguen llegando y por lo que vemos son bastante buenas, ya que Ian McKellen se une al resto de los confirmados, Martin Freeman, Cate Blanchett, Hugo Weaving, Ron Pearlman, Andy Serkis, Doug Jones y James Nesbitt, para la épica película que comenzará a rodarse en febrero próximo.

Otra de las noticias que llega es que Peter Jackson ha dicho que las dos películas de The Hobbit [recordemos que dividirán el libro en dos] serán filmadas en 3D y con el equipo más avanzado hasta el momento, las cámaras Red Epic. ¿Y qué es esto? Básicamente, y sin irnos muy técnicos, se trata de la evolución de las cámaras Red One con las que se han filmado películas como The Social Network, Ché o Angels and Demons, por mencionar sólo algunas. Estas Red Epic cuentan con una resolución de 5K, graban hasta 120 fps y la opción de un modo HDR en vídeo; una evolución de los 4K que tiene el Red One y muy por encima del HD que todos conocemos hoy día. Habiendo dicho esto, ¿te imaginas cómo se verá el dragón Smaug?

Al menos sabemos que The Hobbit va viento en popa y hasta el momento las noticias son alentadoras. La primera parte de The Hobbit saldrá en diciembre 2012 y la segunda y última parte llegará en diciembre de 2013.

A continuación el comunicado de prensa de las cámaras Red Epix. [Para los más techies]

Comunicado de prensa:

November 28, 2010, RED Studios Hollywood, Hollywood, Ca. – RED announces that Peter Jackson’s two film adaptation of The Hobbit will be shot in 3D using RED DIGITAL CINEMA’S soon to be released EPIC Digital Cameras.

The successor to RED’s industry changing RED ONE, the EPIC has 5K resolution, can shoot up to 120 frames per second and has a new HDRx™ mode for the highest dynamic range of any digital cinema camera ever made. Taking everything they had learned from building their first camera, RED designed the EPIC from scratch and have produced a smaller, lighter camera that is an order of magnitude more powerful.

The Hobbit will be amongst the first productions in the world to use the EPIC and at least thirty cameras will be required by the 3-D production. The EPIC’S small size and relatively low weight, makes it perfect for 3-D – where two cameras have to be mounted on each 3D rig.

Jackson has a long history with RED, dating back to when he directed the short film ‘Crossing the Line’ as a very early test of prototype RED ONE cameras. “I have always liked the look of Red footage.” he says, “I’m not a scientist or mathematician, but the image Red produces has a much more filmic feel than most of the other digital formats. I find the picture quality appealing and attractive, and with the Epic, Jim and his team have gone even further. It is a fantastic tool, the Epic not only has cutting edge technology, incredible resolution and visual quality, but it is also a very practical tool for film makers. Many competing digital systems require the cameras to be tethered to large cumbersome VTR machines. The Epic gives us back the ability to be totally cable free, even when working in stereo.”

Jim Jannard the owner and founder of RED flew to New Zealand earlier this year with members of his team so that Jackson could test the EPIC and assess its suitability. “Everybody at RED is incredibly proud that Peter has chosen the Epic” says Jannard, “The Hobbit is a major production, and could have chosen any camera system that they wanted. The fact that they went with us is extremely gratifying.”

The Hobbit will start shooting in New Zealand early next year.
