Hobbits

Most of us are dying to catch a glimpse of a younger Bilbo Baggins as he navigates his first journey with Gandalf. The new trailer also suggests some additions to the movie not found in the book.

"Lords of the Rings"? How about Bored of the Rings. Would like to report to those who failed to find the Frodo trilogy must see viewing that the trailer for the prequel looks more interesting. Unfortunately, such a thing is not possible.

A year ahead of its actual release, the first trailer for 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' is now online, immediately reminiscent of 'The Lord of the Rings' at every opportunity.

The first trailer of what has to be the most anticipated film of this decade, 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,' directed, as was the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, the incomparable Peter Jackson is now out.

The Hobbit is a classic children's fantasy novel that offers the adventure of a lifetime for young Bilbo Baggins, a Hobbit. The story tells the tale of how Bilbo finds the One Ring before the Lord of the Rings Trilogy and defeats the dragon Smaug.

A sort of prequel to the Lord of the Rings series, a very special Hobbit finds a certain ring and has a lot of adventure along the way.

Just when it seemed as if this project would never actually begin, principal photography has commenced on Peter Jackson's 'The Hobbit.'

"The Hobbit" has finally begun production in New Zealand. But will there be more problems and delays down the road?

"The Hobbit" has faced many production challenges, but has finally managed to overcome those challenges just as other movies have.

With all of the legal difficulties taken care of, the actors hired and gathered in New Zealand, the sets built, and Producer/Director Peter Jackson recovered from ulcer surgery, filming of the two "Hobbit" movies has at last begun.

The road for "The Hobbit" to get off the ground faced more obstacles than even Sauron and Gollum could conjure up. But this weekend, Peter Jackson confirmed that he has finally brought his cameras back to New Zealand again.

After successfully producing the blockbuster Lord of the Rings films, Peter Jackson is having an awfully hard time making The Hobbit.

Yes, the Hobbit will finally be made into a live-action film (two movies, actually), directed by Peter Jackson, the same directing genius who brought us the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

Fans of "The Lord of the Rings" films are overjoyed that Ian McKellen will reprise his role as Gandalf the wizard in the upcoming movie version of "The Hobbit."

Excited for Tolkien's masterpiece "The Hobbit" to reach the big screen? Well, after years of delays and disappointments, "The Hobbit" is finally underway. Fans, be excited!

According to the film site Coming Soon, both Sir Ian McKellen and Andy Serkis will reprise their roles as Gandalf and Gollum respectively in a film version of "The Hobbit," now scheduled to begin shooting in New Zealand on Feb. 21, 2011.

Several key characters remain rumors or uncast in the 'The Hobbit,' while a few actors return to reprise roles never seen in the book.

"The Hobbit" is a superb stand-alone novel in the fantasy genre and a great introduction to "Lord of the Rings."

As characters are both added and possibly subtracted, it is clear what we will see on the screen will differ significantly from what we read in the book. Will this be good or bad for fans?

Following on from his success filming the trilogy Lord Of The Rings, Peter Jackson is due to begin filming the prequel, The Hobbit and has announced that Martin Freeman (The Office) will play the lead role of Bilbo Baggins.

'The Hobbit' is a great children's fantasy adventure with superb writing, a great plot and some amazing characters.

The final hurtle has been removed so that the two "Hobbit" films can begin filming in New Zealand starting in February. A labor dispute had threatened to cause the production to move to another country, perhaps Great Britain or Ireland.
