Unfortunately, they changed their minds. Read this article below. Spielberg says he was going to, but decided on CGI instead. I would of liked to have seen less CGI. Too bad...

That is really sad for someone as visually oriented as myself. Why don't they just have computers make the entire movie nowadays? Just because a computer can do something doesn't mean it should. Imagine if they had used computers to make the effects as flawless and unnoticeable as possible. Imagine if, instead of 3D rendered plants to create a fake, over-the-top jungle they instead used their computers to create flawless "matte shots" with real, animated foliage. Oh well.

What happened to the painstaking care that used to look at each shot and scene for excellent visual details? I preferred it when people did real work to make sure that a particular image was as good as it could be. Though, I suppose that Guillermo Del Toro does a fantastic job in his movies. I can't wait for Hellboy 2 and he gives me hope for a good translation of the Hobbit.
