Won't The Hobbit be filmed at 48fps? I wonder what difference will it make if any.

Looking forward to this ^^


It makes a big difference when you have fast moving cameras or on-screen objects.

One of the Ain't It Cool News (AICN) writers, Quint, has been on set filming (he has is own hobbit character) and blogging about how is the life in the sets from a very personal perspective. The blogs are currently at number 6 and are very interesting. It's worth to check them out since he also has some exclusive photos and insights.

It takes place in the same universe, but it's NOT a prequel... It's written before the LOTR - which by definition makes it not a prequel.

Care to explain about Smeagol and the Ring at the end of the trailer? How is it not the prequel of LOTR when there are so many characters appeared in LOTR as well

I will bother explaining to those who never read the books or saw the movie first.

The Hobbit was written before LOTR. At that point in time Tolkien had not polished the concept of the story of the ring. Tolkien wrote LOTR during and after WWII and later edited certain characters/plot points in Tho Hobbit (his son did too I believe) in order to make it "fit" with LOTR.

-"The Necromancer" mentioned in the hobbit who has taken over southern mirkwood is actually sauron, but at the time the hobbit was written it was just a plot device to get Gandalf out of the way, it wasn't sauron in the proper sense. Later this was changed so that Sauron's resurgence of power started in mirkwood, before he returned to mordor. (those creepy scenes with gandalf walking around the castle, I'm pretty sure is when he is investigating Dol Guldur the first time)

-Balin is just a normal dwarf, but is later mentioned in LOTR as having led a band of dwarved into moria, where they were killed by dwarves. They find a book recalling their last accounts near his tomb (although I'm not quite sure how they made a tomb while they were getting massacred...kinda confused me)

-Gloin is Gimli's father

So, in a very technical sense, the Hobbit was the basis for middle-earth, but up until it was changed to be a quasi-prequel to LOTR, it was simply a previous book by the same author in the same universe, but LOTR was not a sequel to it as much as they are both just side stories.
