Call me anal, but I'm glad how many people are not calling the Hobbit a prequel (a prequel is a work made after the base work but occurring before). LotR is a sequel, and I'm excited to see the original work get its own big-budget adaption. Call me crazy but I loved the animated Hobbit, silly songs and all.
Eagerly awaiting Techies.

That's not silly dude, I loved that movie haha. I even had the "movie book" as a kid, which was basically a shorter version of the full story filled with images from the animated movie

I love you.

I can't stand thinking about them bringing more attention to LotR. It's my childhood. I reread all four books every summer. It's something special to me and seeing half of it cut out in favor of a simplified hollywood story hurts me. The Hobbit will do nothing good for me.

But you just made me glad to have read this thread. That animated hobbit movie was so damn creepy and awesome. Oh, sweet childhood.

Are you sure he's going to be Smaug? I thought he was all like "No comment" when people asked what role he was playing.. Do you have a source?

Casting updates

Yikes! I can finally get back to some postings! We've finished our first block of shooting and moved straight into location scouting. More on that soon... But today, I'm thrilled to announce two new cast members who will be joining us for our second block of shooting.

Evangeline Lilly will be playing a new character—the Woodland Elf, Tauriel. Her name means 'daughter of Mirkwood' and, beyond that, we must leave you guessing! (No, there is no romantic connection to Legolas.) What is not a secret is how talented and compelling an actress Evangeline is; we are thrilled and excited she will be the one to bring our first true Sylvan Elf to life.

I'm also highly excited that Barry Humphries will be portraying the Goblin King, in much the way Andy Serkis created Gollum. Barry is perhaps best known for his business and social connections as the long-time manager of Dame Edna Everage. He has also been an ardent supporter of the rather misunderstood and unfairly maligned Australian politician, Sir Les Patterson. However, in his spare time, Barry is also a fine actor, and we're looking forward to seeing him invest the Goblin King with the delicate sensitivity and emotional depth this character deserves.

Evangeline and Barry, along with Welsh actor Luke Evans as Bard and Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug, just about rounds out the major casting. I cannot wait to get stuck into these new scenes!

More soon, including a flurry of answers to your questions. Sorry for the delay!

Cheers,
Peter J




It's on IMDB too, as 'Smaug/Necromancer

I am so pumped for the movie.

I loved the Hobbit way more than the LotR books and if it is anything as good as the films, it will be an instant classic.

Sigh, 3D..

I despise 3D =/

Movies should be great though.

I wonder if Evangeline Lily got the role though her relationship with the other hobbit, I forget his name, the bassist on Lost.

Ugh, 3D bullshit. I stop noticing the 3D 5 minutes in, its just a scheme to jack up ticket prices. Probably going to torrent this because I hate supporting 3D garbage.

sick. There's so much in the The Hobbit that kicks the crap out of the LOTR storyline.

In particular I loved the Battle of the Five Armies, so epic. The way the events lead up to the outburst of this battle and the reemergence of previous characters onto the scene was so awesome. Especially Beorn. Fuck yes Beorn is a BAMF. They better not screw this part of it up, at least.

Yeah, and The Hobbit has something LOTR can't top : A dragon. Hell yeah.


Too bad Beorn is gonna be played by a terrible actor =/


Hold your tounge heathen! You're talking about a giant of swedish cinema.

Peter Jackson has announced, via a post on his official Facebook page, that he will be shooting his adaptation of The Hobbit at the higher rate of 48 frames per second.

The usual rate is 24fps, and has been since its introduction to cinema in 1927. The Hobbit will be the first major motion picture in history to feature the upgrade

Jackson thinks, "after nine decades", it's time for a change.

In the post, he addressed the inevitable backlash from "film purists" by saying that audience will "get used to this new look very quickly" as it will bring about a "much more lifelife and comfortable viewing experience."

He also said that films will become "easier to watch, especially in 3-D", with audiences being able to sit through "two hours of footage without getting eyestrain".

Jackson went onto claim that the difference between 24 and 48 fps is "significant", likening the technological evolution to when "vinyl records were supplanted by digital CDs".

The Lord of the Rings director also thanked Warner Bros for their support in the advancement, before predicting over 10,000 screens would be capable of projecting 48fps by the time of The Hobbit's release.

Jackson, who won an Academy Award for his work on The Return of the King, took over the directing chair after Guillermo del Toro left. He had become frustrated with the constant production delays that had thwarted the project early on.

The Office's Martin Freeman has been announced to be playing Bilbo Baggins in the film, a role originally played by Sir Ian Holm in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, while Sir Ian McKellen and Andy Serkis will be reprising the characters of Gandalf and Gollum respectively.

Serkis will also act as Second Unit Director on the project.

The Hobbit will be split into two parts, with the first being released in December 2012.

It will be the first movie ever shooted in 48 fps. What do you guys think? If im right, this will affect somehow blue-ray watchers though. Some blueray standard wont support 48fps or smthn.



good bump lol

I don't know, he always hated Dame Edna, can't forgive him for that, Everidge is such a nice old lady.

But anyway, I hope they really build on the parts where Bilbo is a real badass, picking on spiders, dodging goblins, etc.

Yeah really. I never understood why the filmmakers themselves agree to do 3d. Talk about destroying the vision of the cinematographer - forcing people to only focus on one part of the overall composition.

I guess it's a cool gimmick for some extra studio dough.

The Necromancer gets a speaking role? Wasn't he just referred to by Gandalf and people in the book, and never actually featured in the story? And wasn't the Necromancer actually Sauron?
