The Hobbit Scripting Started

During a screening of Hellboy II in Sydney, Australia, Guillermo del Toro indicated to a fan that scripting of the film has begun.

“Ive just got home from an early screening of Hellboy II The Golden Army hosted by PopcornTaxi at the Greater Union Cinema in Sydney, where Guillermo did a telephone Q & A from Berlin after the film…The last question though related to the Hobbit - and Guillermo said that although there was nothing to add at the moment - he can say that scripting has started - and he described the process as something ‘beautiful."

A couple of months ago del Toro indicated that the scripting process would probably go through the year and early into next year so still a ways to go but nice to hear things are moving along nicely.
