I'm having a hard time remembering the character she's going to be playing.

That's because it's a new character

Very cool.





Honestly didn't expect to get official pictures so early into the shoot.

bilbo's feet are huge
sharkenleo
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yeah I noticed that too. They look way bigger than the hobbits' feet in lotr.

Elijah Wood said on Jimmy Fallon last night that they're prosthetic feet, as opposed to the glue and hair they used before.

Shot of Peter Jackson at the Hobbit table is weird. It's weird, you would think they would look like just two normal guys at a normal sized table, but instead, I see it as a hobbit and a hobbit sized PJ at a hobbit table.

It will be interesting to see how they make the characters look younger when they have all aged (those that were in LOTR) 11-12 years.
sharkenleo

Well for one, ian mckellen looks pretty much the same. And elijah wood, well he just doesn't age. Maybe orlando looks a bit older, but not by much.

Hobbits age slowly, Elves live forever, and Gandalf is really, really old anyway. The only real problem would be for human characters, but there shouldn't be any overlap of those between the movies.

These three brothers, all sons of the same mother, could not be more different from each other.

Dori, the oldest, spends much of his time watching out for Ori, the youngest; making sure he’s not caught a chill or got himself killed by Wargs or Goblins.

Nobody quite knows what Nori gets up to most of the time, except that it’s guaranteed to be dodgy and quite probably, illegal.

Dori, Nori and Ori are intensely loyal to each other – and whilst they are perfectly happy fighting amongst themselves, woe-betide anyone who means harm to one of these brothers.


Kinda surprised with the direction they're going with these dwarves. They look a little more...snow white than I would have expected. But they're giving each dwarf a lot of personality, and not just going with the generic dwarf look, and that's good to see.

They look pretty good. Like Gimli but a touch more regal. They are long displaced nobles right?

Bunch of damn vagabonds!!!

I know Thorin is the King of the Lonely Mountain (at least would be if the dragon wasn't there). Most of the rest of the dwarves in his crew are relatives, if I'm remembering right (cousins and nephews and the like). I suppose being related to a King makes you nobility...but then that would make Gimli (Gloin's son) nobility as well.

I always thought that it was obivious, the entire Fellowship save Gandalf and the hobbits were royal blood lines.

Legoas was a prince, Aragorn was the true king, boromir was a prince, gimili was a price as well.

Here's a tidbit for you non-tolkien folks:

Ori, the one in the middle, wrote the book the Fellowship found in moria, which Gandalf reads. "They are coming..."

Love that Gloin us rocking Gimli's axe from fellowship.

awesome pictures

also (this may have been posted already) but they've chosen the voice for Smaug, a chap named Benedict Cumberbatch who has the most stereotypical funny British name i've ever heard

New production video!

http://www.facebook.com/video/video.php?v=10150314562706807&oid=141884481557&comments

Love the start of location scouting around 5 minutes in. Chills!

Turned out to be quite a week for Hobbit news.

Really cool breakdown of every frame of the video here.

Lots of goblin-town sets in the video, I'm guessing that was the bulk of shooting that made up the first block.

So awesome to see Bilbo and Elrond in Rivendell. Also really neat to see an actual frame of footage on pic #22. Looks to me like the scene where Bilbo is sneaking around trying to pickpocket the trolls, or sneaking around the elf town in Mirkwood.
