In a press conference following the film's panel at the San Diego Comic-Con yesterday, Jackson himself has said the upcoming film is his favorite of the new trilogy:
"By the time we are done with this film, I think it will be the most emotional, the most tense of the three - I think it's my favorite of the three. Seriously, it's got a nice thrill and a pace to it. It's something that, when you get to the end of it, it's going to feel like the right time to hand over the future of the ring.

The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug Blu-ray The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug is the second of a planned trilogy of movies based on J.R.R. Tolkien.s The Hobbit. Despite the fact it only covers a few chapters from the famous novel, the movie offers plenty of action and a striking ending that makes it a vast improvement over the first segment. After a quick expository scene set in The Prancing Pony (a popular inn in the Lotr series, as well), Desolation of Smaug picks up where The Unexpected Journey leaves off, with Gandolf (Ian McKellen), Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage), the handsome dwarf Kili (Aiden Turner) and the other members of the 12 companions on their quest to retrieve the Arkenstone. Along the way, the crew must run from and defend themselves against orcs, giant spiders and the titular villain, the feared dragon Smaug (Benedict ...

Exclusive: In a solid six-figure deal, Screen Gems has acquired Padre, a stark drama spec by Mike Maples. Greg Champion and Mark Lawyer will be producers and Screen Gems’ James Lopez will oversee it. The script has a No Country For Old Men and A History of Violence vibe to it. A priest, trying to atone for his bloody past as a special ops soldier, witnesses the brutal murder of members from his congregation by a malevolent Sheriff and his deputies. Tortured and left for dead in the desert, he survives. Then, he faces a crisis of conscience and the dawning realization that his past military training and three tours in Afghanistan may have been preparation for what his soul and his heart tell him is right. From there it goes all bad for the crooked cops. Maples is repped by Luber Roklin Entertainment, and attorneys Alan Wertheimer and Jeff Hynick rep the producers.

When it comes to making movie epics, Peter Jackson is ranked up there with D W Griffith and Cecil B de Mille. He may have at his disposal the kind of technology his predecessors could only dream about, but his cinematic vision and ability to tell a good story on film is as vivid as his distinguished luminaries.
Not only did The Lord of the Rings Trilogy week put Jackson well and truly on the map as a filmmaker to be reckoned with; the movies themselves defined a new Century of cinema excellence. With such a massive screen success behind him, it was only a matter of time before Jackson brought to the screen J. R. R. Tolkien’s famous prequel The Hobbit.

The Simpsons are staging a The Hobbit parody couch gag Sunday night and it’s only appropriate that it’s one of the longest director’s-cut-length couch gags ever. The Fox hit’s unique opening credits closer is normally a few seconds; this is 1:30. The unexpected journey starts with a very Simpsons-ized version of J.R.R. Tolkien’s Middle Earth map (my favorite entry: the fearsome wasteland of “Lax Self Parking”), then our heroes pass Moe-as-Gollum and Mr. Burns-as-Smaug. The sequence is from Nov. 3′s episode “4 Regrettings and a Funeral,” (no, the funeral is not for the late Marcia Wallace’s character Edna Krabappel,...

Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens got to talking about what to expect on The Hobbit: The Unexpected Journey’s extended edition DVD/Blu-Ray set.
Jackson: ”You are going to get some serious Dwarvish disrespect of the elves at Rivendell,”
Boyens: ”You are going to get more of Hobbiton…We always wanted to wend our way through Hobbiton, but in the end Bilbo has to run out of the door.”
Walsh: You are going to get more Goblin Town, and the Great Goblin singing his song…It is a great song, but it was just another delay in terms of moving the story along.”
More from Jackson: “We are putting things in the extended cut that are going to play straight into the second film…like this character Girion, who is defending [the city of] Dale using black arrows against Smaug. And the black arrows play a part in an ongoing story,...

This breathtaking poster surely comes as a real treat for all the die-hard The Hobbit fans who are anxiously waiting for the arrival of the first trailer for Peter Jackson's The Desolation of Smaug - set to hit the web on Tuesday, June 11th. "I do believe the worst is behind us" said Bilbo Baggins in the last scene of The Unexpected Journey. He couldn't be more wrong. It seems the poster stands as a sort of prediction of the epic battle that's about to ensue, showing the titular character, played by Martin Freeman, looking at what appears to be the infamous Lonely Mountain, the lair of the mythical dragon Smaug. The sharp contrast between the figure and the mountain arising in the distance clearly intensifies the overall...

Martin Freeman has spoken of the challenges of his lead role in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Peter Jackson's opening film in a new Tolkien-inspired trilogy.
Freeman says the role was physically demanding from the beginning, not least because he had to cope with the cumbersome Hobbit feet, which were like wearing big, furry flippers.
"I won't miss them," he said. "I'd have to shave my legs, talcum powder them, then they'd put an inner sole on and put this latex leg and foot over it. It was a two-person job and took about a week to get used to."
Given that the three movies were shot back-to-back over an epic 18 months, Freeman felt it was important to remain as fit as possible.
"Obviously Bilbo's not a superhero so I wasn't bench-pressing 200 pounds every hour, but you do as an actor have to be healthy and ready," he says.

With midnight screenings bringing in as much as $13 million here in the United States, The Hobbit: The Unexpected Journey is already looking like a formidable hit in these parts. Unsurprisingly, it's going to be huge overseas too. Early number suggest that it has brought in $27.3 million from 42 markets around the world, and could wind up making as much as $200 million worldwide this weekend alone. Of course, when you set it against the record set by The Avengers this summer, when it made over $200 million in the United States alone, that doesn't seem quite as huge. But it's still a big number for a movie that's been getting mixed reviews, and a prequel to a franchise that started over a decade ago. WIth inflation and the higher 3D prices The Hobbit will likely have a bigger opening weekend than any of the three Lord of the Rings films-- Return of the...

Plot: A short man with hairy feet (Freeman) is enlisted by a group of Dwarves to help them take back their home, which was taken over by a bossy dragon.
Who’S It For? This is for fans, and outsiders. Fans will likely be thrilled to see so much detail from the book brought to screen, and outsiders will be on-board for the overall thrills being offered.
Expectations: A long time ago, I had read the book, and seen the animated film. I was never a huge fan of Jackson’s Rings trilogy, but I was certainly curious about the event of all of this. And this 48-frames-per-second thing? What the hoot is that all about?

This past weekend, I journeyed into Middle Earth for no less than 13 hours for Cinemark's Lord of the Rings Extended Cut marathon in theaters. If you haven't yet revisited the longer versions of Peter Jackson's trilogy, see if you can before The Hobbit: The Unexpected Journey hits theaters this Friday. There are some great ties to The Hobbit including a mention of Thorin and plenty of references to the adventures of Bilbo Baggins. And so, as we're in the home stretch leading up to the release this weekend, we have one final TV spot for the first installment of The Hobbit trilogy as we anticipate midnight showings on Thursday. The final TV spot for Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey from New Line Cinema: In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit... J.R.R.

As you can likely tell, we've been in the presence of Peter Jackson a lot lately as the New Zealand director has spent plenty of time in New York of late. Last week, Drew Taylor spent time with Jackson and "The Hobbit" cast at 'The Unexpected Journey' press day -- Jackson defended the controversies surrounding 48fps and explained why he expanded the films into three movies -- and Kimber Myers attended attended a screening of the film that included a post-screening Q&A featuring the director and his co-screenwriters, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens. At the end of that conversation -- wherein Jackson called 48fps and 3D a "gift" to his style of filmmaking and revealed that Walsh directed what he described as "the best scene" in "The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers" -- the trio launched into a long story about almost losing "The Lord of the Rings...

I'm still recovering from Black Friday weekend in retail, plus I focused on covering Liz & Dick last night, which was a trainwreck that will replay on cable networks for decades, but only as a PSA against traiditional marriage and an alcoholism PSA. So we're Crowdsourcing the Meme today, but I have some things to get you started.
We'll have more on the passing of legendary actor Larry Hagman later today, but as someone who can count "Who Shot Jr?" as a major memory of my childhood, I wanted to note his passing over the weekend from complications due to cancer. Patrick Duffy and Linda Grey were at his side when he died in Dallas this weekend, and our thoughts are with his friends and family.
Lindsay Lohan, in the press runup to the delightfully awful Liz & Dick last night, said that her relationship with Samantha Ronson was toxic, but outside pressure didn't help.

Empire's Ultimate Hobbit : The Unexpected Journey issue – complete with five 3D lenticular covers – arrives on shelves tomorrow, Thursday October 24, and with it a whole host of Hobbit exclusives. Not least of which is the run time for Peter Jackson's upcoming film. Those who have been fearing that the change from two films to three would result in less Bombur for your buck, fear no more: it's still an epic length.“It’s looking like it’s going to be about ten minutes shorter than Fellowship was," explains Jackson. "So it’s going to be officially our shortest Middle-earth yet. I mean, Fellowship was just under three hours and this is about 2 hours 40 minutes at the moment.”The "at the moment" refers to the fact that the credits hadn't yet been added and not all effects shots finalised when we spoke to Jackson, but it's going to be close.

Director Peter Jackson Recently screened ten minutes of The Hobbit at CinemaCon, and it was presented in a new projection format of 48fps. This internet was flooded with complaints about the footage. The content was great, it was just the way it was presented that turned people off. A lot of people said it looked too much like video, that the footage looked like an actual set from the film, and that it took the magic out of it. That doesn't sound promising.
Jackson recently talked to Entertainment Weekly about these concerns, and hopes that audiences will end up giving it a shot so the can judge it for themselves. He also hope critics will change their minds after the see the film in its entirety.

It didn't come as too big of a shock that Peter Jackson decided to film both parts of his "The Hobbit" adaptation in 3D. In fact, as he reinforces in his latest video blog from the set, he would have done the same thing with the "Lord of the Rings" films had the technology been available at the time. In addition to filming at 48 frames per second, Jackson and his crew are using the latest technologies to shoot the movie in 3D. And, like he's done with many aspects of the filming process, Jackson has decided to share his adventures in three dimensions with his fans in a new video blog.
The blog features a lot of technical explanations for Jackson's reasoning behind his creative decision. For instance, he made sure that the feel of the 3D camera shooting the movie was the same as when he shot in 2D...

While it was Elijah Wood, as Frodo Baggins, and his little furry-footed friends that led the adventure in "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy, the great quest will be led by a different lot of hairy little ones in the upcoming set of film prequels.
The Baggins name, of course, is still prominent in the Peter Jackson-directed "The Hobbit: The Unexpected Journey," with Frodo's kinsman, Bilbo, played by "The Office" veteran Martin Freeman, taking center stage. Unlike Frodo, though, Bilbo is not so eager to head out on Gandalf's mission, and needs escort from a small army of dwarves.
Led by Thorin Oakenshield, the rowdy lot lead the way to The Lonely Mountain, and after years of speculation, and weeks of leaks, we've finally gotten a full look at all thirteen of the warrior dwarves (dwarriors?), an impressive -- and hairy -- crew.

A new photo has arrived featuring the dwarves Dwalin and Balin from Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: The Unexpected Journey. This is the fourth photo of the dwarves to be released after the previous images of Oi and Gloin, Nori, Ori and Dori, Fili and Kili and Bofur, Bombur and Bifur.
Dwarf Lords in their own right, Balin and Dwalin are close relatives of Thorin. Beyond this, these brothers are two of his most loyal and trusted friends. An old warrior, Balin has lived through hard times and fought many battles, yet he harbors doubts about the wisdom of the Quest to retake the Lonely Mountain. Dwalin has no such forebodings – his belief in Thorin’s leadership is unshakeable. A powerful and bruising fighter, with a natural tendency to distrust anyone who is not a Dwarf, particularly anyone who might be an Elf, Dwalin is not someone to cross lightly.

As Jackson teases us with clues about The Hobbit, we can only speculate as to what Unexpected Journey he will take us on next
So there it is: Peter Jackson's forthcoming brace of Hobbit movies will be individually titled The Unexpected Journey and There and Back Again. Not the most exciting news to emerge from Wellington, where Jackson and his team are hard at work shooting his Lord of the Rings prequels back to back, especially as we had a pretty good idea this was going to be the case when it was reported in March that Wingnut films had registered both titles. The individual monickers do add to the continuing sense, however, that Jackson is working hard to forge a Rings-style high fantasy epic from rather unlikely source material.
I first commented on this phenomenon back in December, when it emerged that Orlando Bloom and Cate Blanchett, aka Legolas and Galadriel,...

The individual monickers do add to the continuing sense, however, that Jackson is working hard to forge a Rings-style high fantasy epic from rather unlikely source material.
I first commented on this phenomenon back in December, when it emerged that Orlando Bloom and Cate Blanchett, aka Legolas and Galadriel,...

What I was unaware of, as it seems, is back in March that New Line had officially went ahead and registered two titles -- these being The Hobbit: An/The Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: There and Back Again. And it was pretty obvious that in all eventuality that the two films would end up baring those names, and thanks to the most current news source - the movie's Facebook page - we can now confirm that the two are filming under those titles, minus "The Hobbit" part. Now that, I did not expect!
A press release posted on the Hobbit films Facebook page not only announces the two titles, but also the official release dates for the two films -- with the first of the two, An Unexpected Journey coming December 14, 2012, while There and Back Again hits December 13, 2013. Giving off a Deathly Hallows type space between the two, ensuring some hype!

The Unexpected Journey and There and Back Again are the subtitles of the Hobbit movies, set for release on 14 December 2012 and 13 December 2013 respectively
Peter Jackson has confirmed that his two forthcoming Hobbit films will be handed their own titles.
Reports circulated in March that the film-maker had registered a pair of names for his Lord of the Rings prequel project, which is currently shooting back to back in New Zealand. Now it has been confirmed that they will be labelled The Hobbit: The Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: There and Back Again. Precise release dates of 14 December 2012 and 13 December 2013 have also been officially confirmed.
Both titles are drawn from Hobbit author Jrr Tolkien, though the fantasy pioneer might have been bemused that his compact and unfussy story is to be filmed in two parts. There and Back Again is Tolkien's own alternative title for his 1937 book, while "My Unexpected Journey...

When we got wind back in March that New Line had officially registered two titles-- The Hobbit: An/The Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: There and Back Again-- it seemed pretty good evidence that the two installments of the Lord of the Rings prequels would bear those subtitles. Now we've got the proof in the form of a press release at the source of all the best official Hobbit news-- the movie's Facebook page. The release announces not just those two titles, but official release dates for both films-- An Unexpected Journey will come December 14, 2012, while There and Back Again hits December 13, 2013. The press release also confirms a lot of names that we either suspected or knew would be returning for the new film: Ian McKellen, Ian Holm, Elijah Wood, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Hugo Weaving, Christopher Lee and Andy Serkis are all reprising roles they played in the Lord...

After countless delays, Peter Jackson’s two-part adaptation of The Hobbit began principal photography Monday, kicking off a 14-month production in New Zealand.
Since it’s inception in December 2007, the ambitious return to Middle Earth has been supposedly “cursed.” A heated lawsuit between New Line and Jackson had just been settled months before Jackson was announced as the executive producer, ending months of public sniping.
Shortly after the announcement, New Line Cinema was absorbed by its sister studio, Warner Bros, and J.R.R. Tolkien’s estate filed their own multi-million dollar lawsuit against the company, seeking to block the developing prequels. The two sides would ultimately settle out of court for a reported $38 million.
By April 2008, Guillermo del Toro was hired to direct, a collaboration that stemmed from a failed adaptation of the video game “Halo” years before. The two collaborated on the sprawling script, along with Jackson’s producing partner Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens,...

Following years of delays and numerous changes, Peter Jackson's production is finally under way.

It's been a long, long time coming, but after spending more than 14 years gestating, Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit" movie finally started filming on Monday (March 21).
Production is taking place at Stone Street Studios in New Zealand, the same studio where Jackson shot his three "Lord of the Rings" films. Shooting is expected to take around two years to complete, with the anticipated release date of the tentatively titled "There and Back Again" December 19, 2012 and "The Hobbit: An/The Unexpected Journey" sometime in December 2013.
It wasn't until last month that the cast of "The Hobbit" were brought together for the first time, during a press conference in New Zealand. Since then, castmember Ian McKellan has been keeping fans up-to-date on the pre-production process via his blog.

It’s so close now that I can virtually smell the Shire! Peter Jackson’s long awaited big screen adaptation of The Hobbit begins filming on 21st of this month, most of the casting is now complete, and it looks like the team have just decided on what to call the two films in cinematic miniseries!
Middle Earth-obsessed fan site, The One Ring are reporting that New Line Cinema have registered two film names, indicating that we may now have subtitles for the two Hobbit movies. With The Lord of the Rings we had The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King, names given to the three volumes by J.R.R. Tolkien, however there were no such names given to The Hobbit, which appeared in print as one unified story. This means that someone, somewhere has had to assign some suitably Tolkien-esque titles to the project,...

I love it when news like this breaks, especially when it’s for a movie that has so much weight on it’s shoulders following The Lord of the Rings Trilogy. Peter Jackson starts shooting The Hobbit (which is going to be two movies) in New Zealand on 21st March and speculation on the titles of the movies has already commenced. I say speculation, TheOneRing has some rather nice information relating to the two titles which suggest that the new two-part movie will have the following titles:
The Hobbit: There and Back Again The Hobbit: An/The Unexpected Journey
They go on to say that these titles haven’t been confirmed by the studio (in this case New Line Cinema) but they have someone on the side who registers movie names and he has confirmed that New Line have registered both of these titles.
Guess we’ll find out but I quite like them.

One cannot just simply call it as “The Hobbit.” TheOneRing.net has reported that New Line Cinema has registered two film titles of “The Hobbit: There and Back Again,” and “The Hobbit: An/The Unexpected Journey.” “The Hobbit” film is split into two parts, therefore both titles may be used rather than calling it as “The Hobbit: Part 1” and “The Hobbit: Part 2.” “There and Back Again” is the subtitle of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Hobbit” story. Bilbo Baggins used it as part of his memoirs on his travels with Gandalf, Thorin and a party of dwarves. As for “Unexpected Journey,” it is about Bilbo being recruited for adventure. Here is the “The Hobbit” synopsis: “Whisked away from his comfortable, un-ambitious life in his hobbit-hole by Gandalf the wizard and a company of dwarves, Bilbo Baggins finds himself caught up in a plot to raid the treasure hoard of Smaug the Magnificent,...

As Peter Jackson gets the band back [1] together, along with a whole bunch of new cast members [2], to make The Hobbit, much of the discussion has revolved around the question of splitting the story. Each Lord of the Rings film was based on a specific book by J.R.R. Tolkien, but The Hobbit, which is one book, is going to be split into two movies. Will they simply be called Part One and Part Two like Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows or The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn, which are going the same route? Not according to The One Ring.net, which thinks they've found two possible subtitles for the films: The Hobbit: There and Back Again and The Hobbit: An/The Unexpected Journey.

I'm not sure I understand The Hangover Part II's strategy of trying to lasso the troubled celebrity of the week for a cameo, but Bad Ass Digest reports they're now targeting Charlie Sheen. This comes after the Mel Gibson cameo was scrapped due to lack of support from the cast and crew. Liam Neeson replaced Gibson in the tattoo artist role, so where does Sheen fit in? The sequel is done filming (have you seen the teaser trailer?), but I suppose they can always film a last-minute scene like Samuel L. Jackson does in the Marvel movies or Dustin Hoffman did with Little Fockers. But what on Earth would Sheen be doing in Bangkok?

New Line Cinema has registered the subtitles There and Back Again and An/The Unexpected Journey for Peter Jackson's forthcoming pair of Hobbit films, say reports
Each of Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings films was allocated its own name. Now it seems that the film-maker's forthcoming pair of Hobbit films may also be individually monikered.
Jrr Tolkien fan site theonering.net reports that New Line Studios, the Warner Brothers offshoot that is co-producing the two movies alongside MGM, has registered titles for the new project. It has not been confirmed that either will be used when the movies hit cinemas in 2012 and 2013, but for what it's worth, they are The Hobbit: There and Back Again and The Hobbit: An/The Unexpected Journey.
At first glance, the two titles do not appear to be obvious names for separate instalments, though each would be a fitting tag for the project as a whole.
