Peter Jackson Reviews, Interviews & More
Yesterday, we reported to you that Peter Jackson had offered up the first poster for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, the second film in his inexplicably long trilogy adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. And now, just to up the ante, we’ve got a full teaser trailer.
UPDATE: Watch the teaser trailer for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug!
Despite the fact that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey was nearly three hours long (when an hour and a half would have sufficed), featured a distractingly increased frame rate, and overall lacked the charm and beauty of the any of the films in Peter Jackson’s Lord of...
With the first film The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey hitting DVD and Blu-ray recently, it stands that -- following the patterns of The Lord of the Rings movies -- we should start seeing some footage for the next film, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. Well, Peter Jackson hosted an online event with the release of...
After winning a generation over with what simply is one of the best fantasy trilogies ever, Peter Jackson decided to make live-action movies out of J.R.R. Tolkien's book The Hobbit. Though many question as to why they would stretch out the small tale into three films, audiences this week will return to Middle Earth in The Hobbit: An Unexpected...
Believe it or not, it's been a little under a decade since we last saw The Lord of the Rings out in theaters. Now we're turning back the clock on the franchise, going back to its J.R.R. Tolkien's prequel adventure The Hobbit. Now we're on the opening weekend to the first installment of the prequel trilogy, The Hobbit: An Unexpected...
One of the unique things about the upcoming release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, aside from the 48 frames per second, is the use of 3D. The mixture of live actors and CGI backdrops really make the 3D obviously pop. If the picture is successful, could this give Peter Jackson and company an excuse to re-release The Lord of the Rings movies in 3D?...
Yesterday we got our first glimpse of the third film in the Hobbit trilogy, which a lot of us found to be a little bit odd. We rather would've received a sneak peek at the second movie, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, than that. Well, our cries of confusion can now be put to rest as the first official image from the second film is now available.
We're roughly a week away from the release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Yet Warner Bros. is already teasing fans with their third installment, The Hobbit: There and Back Again. We think it's a premature move but to each his own.
Though the film isn't due out until next Friday, last night the embargo lifted on The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and there's now a handful of reviews and a handful of clips from the upcoming movie online. Check them out.
The biggest risk New Line took with making the Lord of the Rings films was being committed to three movies. If the first film didn't work and no one liked it, what could be done? Well, that's a question they may be asking themselves with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, as the first film doesn't work. Luckily for them they have the cushion...
So it gets down to it. Though December hasn't started yet, we're only a couple of days away from the first screenings of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, and with prestige pictures like Les Miserables and Zero Dark Thirty having screened this weekend, it means the only big holdout is this and...
Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: A Unexpected Journey hits theaters in just a few weeks. The highly-anticipated film is likely to have a huge debut at the box office, thanks to the many fans who will rush to theaters that weekend. With that said, some extremely disturbing news surfaced today that might turn away a few fans of the series. Animal wranglers who were involved...
Big news today out of the Shire, Peter Jackson talked to Empire magazine, and told us that (unless there are some large changes before release) that The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is going to be the shortest Lord of the Rings movie yet, with a running time currently of 160 minutes. That, though, is without credits.
Well, it’s finally here: the trailer for Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first of his three-part adaptation of Tolkien’s The Hobbit. And, after viewing the trailer, it our response is, well, mixed.
Only yesterday it was announced by Peter Jackson that the new trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey would be coming on Wednesday, plus more special content to look out for as well. Now it seems we’ve got the first of that special content in the form of six new photos via USA Today, so check them out below!
Once again it’s all-change for The Hobbit. With the project now spreading its wings to become a trilogy instead of a pair, you can imagine it’s caused a few repercussions, with various changes to the titles of each instalment. The second film is now to be called The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug.
It’s still a bit of a touchy subject for some, but do you remember how you felt about Star Wars: Episode One - The Phantom Menace? How about Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull? The Godfather Part III? Well, you may not be surprised to know these and many more have been ranked in the Top 50 most disappointing movies...
Looking forward to The Hobbit, but a little unsure what all the fuss is about over higher frame rates and what to expect? Well, although it looks like the movie is leading the way when it comes to higher frame rates, the first film will only be shown at 48 frames per second in select theaters to judge audience reactions.
There were rumblings last week, but it's been confirmed, Peter Jackson is turning his Hobbit movies into a trilogy. Word was that he would be getting the team back together for two months to film some of the additional material from J.R.R. Tolkien's additional material sometime next year.
Though we’re still five months away from the December 14th release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Peter Jackson’s adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s prequel to The Lord of the Rings series, and a year and a half from its follow-up, The Hobbit: There and Back Again (out December 13, 2014), Jackson is already...
