Director Guillermo del Toro talked about his upcoming The Hobbit movie during a BD-Live chat for Hellboy II: The Golden Army. So here’s what we know so far, straight from del Toro himself.

Filming for The Hobbit begins in 2010 and will shoot for somewhere in the range of 370 days.There will be a mixture of CGI/puppetry like never before. Del Toro tells BD Live, “I am going to push further than ever on both fronts… [there will be] many many more [cool creatures] and we will be pushing the Goblin Kingdom. We will be pushing Smaug, the Spiders of Mirkwood. We will be pushing them to the edge of technology where we will fuse animatronics and CGI into a seamless new art form in creating creatures, I think.”
