New Movie: THE HOBBIT: Coming December 2012

The new film The HOBBIT is slated for release in December 2012.  The writers of the film include:

• J.R.R. Tolkien         “The Hobbit: Novel”
• Fran Walsh          (Script)
• Philippa Boyens         (Script)
• Peter Jackson            (Script)
• Guillermo del toro        (Script)

The film is being directed by Peter Jackson.  It will be released through Warner Bros. Pictures.  The filming locations for the movie include: New Zealand and England, UK.  The special effects for the movie will be controlled by WETA Digital and WETA Workshop.  Both companies are owned by Peter Jackson.  The cast for the HOBBIT includes the following actors:

• Martin Freeman          as          Bilbo Baggins
• Cate Blanchett           as           Galadriel
• Andy Serkis          as          Gollum
• Elijah Wood          as          Frodo
• Luke Evans          as          Bard
• Hugo Weaving          as           Elrond
• Orlando Bloom         as          Legolas
• Ian McKellen         as        Gandalf

The storyline of The HOBBIT is built around the Kingdom of Dwarfs called Erebor.  The character Bilbo is sought by the wizard : “Gandalf the Grey” to join a team of 13 dwarves to assist in reclaiming the Kingdom of Erebor.  These 14 dwarves encounter numerous Goblins, Orcs, Wargs, Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters, and Sorcerers on their path to victory.  The HOBBIT was a book that was a very relevant grade school classic for some of us.  I say that to say for those of us who have not read the books lately, these characters and creatures are not familiar to the average lay person.  This film will be shot and directed by the same team who shot the ever successful Lord Of The Rings.  The HOBBIT will also be shot in 3D.  The musical score for the film was done by Howard Shore.  Howard also did the scores for: The Lord of the Rings: Two Towers, The Fellowship of the Ring, and the Return of the King, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse and the movie Philadelphia which starred Denzel Washington.  This installment of The HOBBIT is only the first part of a 2 part series.  Both films will be shot consecutively with the 2nd film to be released in 2013.
