tardis_stowawayLook! Peter Jackson just released a ten minute video diary about preproduction and the start of filming on the set of The Hobbit.
SQUEEEEE!!!!
How the heck am I going to deal with this level of anticipation for as long as it will take to get this movie released???
I'm highly amused by the welcome ceremony where everyone in the cast and crew is wearing street clothes except for Andy Serkis, who appears to already be in his motion capture suit. Possibly that IS what he wears on the street? Also, presumably when everyone has their costumes and is acting in character, my brain will be a little less "ha, John Watson is in Middle Earth!"

Date: 2011-04-15 05:06 am (UTC)You're right about the feeling of homecoming. I've never been to New Zealand or Middle Earth, but thanks to the dvd my brain has spent a fair amount of time in both places. It's good to be back.
I'm sure they'll shoot Bilbo finding the ring for the new movie. That's too pivotal a scene in The Hobbit to have recycled footage of a different actor. Whether they'll put in Martin Freeman in the flashback of future LoTR releases is more of a question. My vote would be no, but I am clearly not in a decision-making position here. :)
