The Hobbit Starts Filming Next Month - Until the Next Problem Arises

Until another disaster strikes (Sources will neither confirm nor deny it's been cursed by a gypsy), cameras will officially roll on Peter Jackson's two Hobbit films by the end of March reports One Ring. That'd be the 21st of March to be exact.

Representatives of Warner Brothers and director Jackson down-played what feels like the trillionth delay of filming after the director was rushed to the hospital a few weeks ago. It wound up being an ulcer, and yes, we can imagine it came from the stress the man’s endured to get this damn thing up and running.

Middle-Earth fans should start practicing their victory dances when the inevitable press release (You just know they'll send them out) is issued next month. Might not be a bad idea to include pictures taken from the set too. Just to prove "See! We are making The Hobbit!" to understandably cynical naysayers.

Everyone remains on script that the first installment will hit cinema-houses by next Christmas. But come on, guys, stop jerking fans around. You know it’s being pushed back to 2013.
