The Hobbit is an upcoming two-part epic fantasy film directed by Peter Jackson. It is a film adaptation of the 1937 novel of the same name by JRR Tolkien and a prequel to The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. Jackson, director of The Lord of the Rings, returns as director of the film and also serves as producer and co-writer. The film will star Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield and Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug. Several actors from Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings film trilogy will reprise their roles, including Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis, Hugo Weaving, Cate Blanchett, Christopher Lee, Ian Holm, Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom. Also returning for the production are a big part of the production crew; among others, illustrators John Howe and Alan Lee, art director Dan Hennah and cinematographer Andrew Lesnie. As with the trilogy, props will generally be crafted by Weta Workshop and visual effects managed by Weta Digital. Additionally, composer Howard Shore, who wrote the score for The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, has confirmed his role in both parts of the film project. The two parts, titled The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: There and Back Again, are being filmed back to back and are in production in New Zealand; principal photography began on 21 March 2011. They are scheduled to be released on 14 December 2012 and 13 December 2013, respectively.

I used to be obsessive towards Elijah Wood. Kind of a phase. I noticed that he looked a lot older. He looks skinnier, you can see his stubble under his makeup, and I think he looks terrible, now.

Elijah is 30 now?? Wow he still looks basically exactly the same as he did when he was 19. Just his voice is deeper.

This movie lost the real polish and charisma of LOTR. The Animations were too very familiar and was lacking the original imagination in LOTR. Hope script of hobbit could have been handled little more carefully by PJ and philipa. Hope atleast Hobbit 2 has better screenplay and script.

PLEASE WORK ON YOUR LIGHTING, SIR JACKSON. It’s pretty painfully unimmersing to see 12 actors clear as day (almost glowing), walking along a mountain pass at night while it’s raining. This was happening ALL throughout the movie! I would prefer the films to have as little CGI as possible but if you’re going to go overboard like that, make sure the transition to real life is seamless! Also, QUIT IT with the cheap laughs! None of them were funny! ESPECIALLY not to us non-Brits!

Elijah’s voice changed but that boy has not aged a bit.
