Lonely Mountain

Artwork by JRRT himself.

Vlog 6

Nothing too revealing here, just some general insight into movie-making on location.

LOTR Legos

In case you hadn't heard!


Keeping Busy

Spoiled by the trailer and Vlog 5, I am anxiously waiting my next Hobbit "fix."  Until then, check out some nice artwork that captures the spirit of Middle-Earth.

Sting


“I will give you a name,” he said to it, “and I shall call you Sting.”

In honor of the Professor's birthday.

Yesterday (Jan 3rd) back in 1892, JRR Tolkien was born.

To celebrate, let me post a few Tolkien related things of interest.

I hope these will keep you happy until the next movie post!

Prodution Video 5...a Holiday Gift

As if the debut of the trailer wasn't enough, Peter Jackson gives us another Production Video to get tingly about!

It amazed me that the Hobbiton location actually had a "Buckland Road" running through it before they ever scouted it or chose it for filming.  Providence it seems.

A Long Expected Trailer

When the Dwarves sing, all seems right with the world.

Hobbiton


Many of my readers...if I have any...may already know that the landowners of the green hills where Peter Jackson built the Hobbiton movie set have allowed the various holes, props, and even The Green Dragon Inn to be permanently built this time around.  They have also contracted with a tour company to allow fans of the movies to experience Hobbiton themselves.

I think that's an amazing thing and I would LOVE to go to New Zealand one day and see Bag End for myself.  In the meantime, I (and you) can check out the first report of Hobbiton by The One Ring.

Production Video 4


All about 3D and 48fps.  I love the glimpse of Bilbo popping his head out above Mirkwood.  The look on his face at that moment captures Bilbo perfectly.

Watch the 11 minute video HERE.

Been awhile since we had a post...here's this to keep the blog alive.  Hopefully PJ will release new material soon!
