Just wanted to start a thread for this, since they will of course going to be the most epic movies of 2012 and 2013. :awesome:

 

Martin Freeman is going to play Bilbo Baggins.

 

 

There are a series of production videos being posted every few months by Peter Jackson, the first of which is this:

DISCUSS THE EPICNESS.

There's already a Hobbit movie thread here, BUT THAT'S OKAY. This movie is too epic for just one.

 

I love the production videos and how they show all the different parts of making the film. It's pretty incredible how much hard work and dedication they put into the process, even if things go wrong. :')

 

I think Ori is my favorite dwarf so far (and yes, I know we've seen practically no actual footage of the dwarves yet, but I like him). :wacky: He's so adorable with his mittens.

Martin! :D

I assume you Sherlock enthuasiasts already know, but Benedict Cumberbatch will appear as well. As a dragon, granted, but an appearence none the less.

I'm pretty much stalking Benedict's every move. :blank:

 

But yes! He's voicing both Smaug and the Necromancer, along with playing Smaug through motion-capture.

Are you serious I actually searched this time. :|

 

I agree, it's also incredible how much money is going into this. Can't even fathom just the food bills! D:

 

I don't know their names well enough to say a favorite. :sad: I'm sure as we get closer to the release I'll know them all by heart. :awesome:

 

I haven't read the book yet but I'm getting it soon. I have read The Lord of the Rings trilogy though.

A damn sexy dragon, may I add.

I absolutely cannot wait until we see Benedict in those tight motion capture suits, acting like a dragon. :dazzled:

Hm, search function might be having issues. No worries, though! There will be more Hobbit love in this part of the forum.

 

I think I only noticed that one dwarf because the actor has a cute face and mentioned his mittens and cardigans in the third production video. :lol: I don't know all thirteen names and faces either, but I'm working on it!

 

I read the book in eighth grade, but I'll definitely re-read it before the film release date since I barely remember anything.

 

Benedict's acting is one of the things I'm most looking forward to as well. :awesome: The behind-the-scenes stuff will be great.

I think I know which one you're talking about. :blush:

 

That part of the video with them all floating in barrels made me die of laughter. :lol:

 

I agree, he's going to make it amazing. :dazzled:

 

 

 

I can't wait to see Martin Freeman sword fighting and stuff. :freak:

 

A damn sexy dragon, may I add.

 

 

:nod:

At first when I heard that a movie of the hobbit was announced I was a little bit skeptical, but now I've seen the trailer and it looks great. I cannot wait to see it in the cinemas I bet it will be awesome!

The hobbits are the most interesting creatures in the world of middle earth, don't you think so?

I'm not that for Lord Of The Rings stuff but Martin and Benedict in one movie is enough to get me all exited about it

 

should I look the book and read it? :uhoh:

^Yes, you can. The book is really good!! :nice:

 

Edit: I think there was already a thread for this movie :thinking:

Great book. Better storyline than the LoTR.

^Yes, you can. The book is really good!! :nice:

 

Edit: I think there was already a thread for this movie :thinking:

 

ok then

think I'm gonna look for it tomorrow :p

GUESS WHAT BOOK I STARDED READING!!!

 

and it's in English because the Dutch version wasn't availeble :blank:

I refusing to watch the movie when it finally comes out for what it tried to do with the Hobbit pub in Southampton. If it had recently named itself the Hobbit then fair-enough but for a pub named the hobbit for the past 20 years can't be called "cashing" in on the movie...

 

...Unless it was a time traveler

I finished reading the book the other day. It sure is full of wonderful adventures and yes, I'm looking forward to December, but I'm puzzled as to the rest of the planned trilogy because there is not that much material in the book. Are they going to drag its contents to a ridiculous extent or make something up for "The Desolation of Smaug" and "There And Back Again?" Either option seems rather risky to me :uhoh:

Peter Jackson extended it to three films because he wants to add the extra material from the original LOTR appendices and set up the backstory leading to The Fellowship of the Ring. I think.

 

I think the two films that were originally planned are more than enough. :\ But we'll see how it all unfolds. I'm still ridiculously excited for December.

 

After seeing this at least 4 times over the past week, I can say I truly truly hate it.

The way NZ is embracing the whole Hobbit thing is really embarrasing...

^OMG, that is ridiculous :facepalm:

There will be the live world Premiere. It streamed https://www.facebook.com/TheHobbitMovie?sk=app_173795602763999

I am beyond excited to watch this movie, as you could tell by looking at my recent posts, but, having the book fresh in my mind, as well as having a rather critical view when I watch movies, certainly hope it lives up to my expectations. I'm just so curious about it, which makes it even harder to wait.

Already bought the tickets.

Got this from local cinema. :awesome:
