Superb. Thanks for sharing.
Seeing Ian gave me goosebumps.
THANK YOU so much for sharing this. I… I’m just mindblown. Lord of the Rings is, hands down, my most favorite movie and book series and actually getting to see a behind the scenes before The Hobbit hits theaters is just fantastic.
This was incredible. It really speaks to the quality of a work when you strangely nostalgic looking at a set. Am I right?
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
The reconstruction of the sets are mind boggling well done. i’m strongly looking forward too viewing this in the theaters with my family once released. I have watched the play twice with friends and had read the book when i was younger.
So good luck and hope it turns out fantastically. (✌゚∀゚)☞
Feels like coming “home” just watching this. Thank you!
Thank you Mr. Peter Jackson for completing the circle. I am looking forward to see the finished product.
Wow thanks for that, it was like taking the first steps of the adventure. It’s fantastic to know it’s actually started and with Peter at the helm we can expect perfection.
Looks like they were shooting the Gollum scene first. No other reason to get dressed up in that silly suit. So looking forward to this, it’s nice that Peter Jackson took time to talk to internet.
Cant wait.
We are marking our calendars and standing on tiptoe.
Shed tears. I am so EXCITED.
Fantastic! I am once again extremely impatient for the release of another Middle Earth movie.
Amazing! I cannot wait for this film to come out! I cannot believe it has been 8 years since we where last treated to some Hobbits!
A great book and soon to be a great film. Peter Jackson created movie magic with the first three films. I am certain he will do the same for both installments of The Hobbit.
I like the elvish zodiac signs – pure magic
