The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
Wizards, Dragons, Goblins and hairy feet, no your not looking in Daniel Radcliffe's room, your being transported back to Middle Earth. In December Peter Jackson (Lord of the Rings Trilogy) goes back to what he does best epic fantasy's based on the works of J.R.R Tolkien.
After years of being in development hell, losing a director (Guillermo del Toro stood down as director), being caught up in tense legal battles with Tolkien's estate and being targeted by the Australian actors union. Bilbo is back, this time a lot younger and being portrayed by Martin Freeman (U.K's The Office, Hitchhikers Guide To The Galaxy). Reprising their roles from LOTR are Ian Mckellen as Gandalf, Hugo Weaving as Elronde, Cate Blanchett as Galadriel, Elijah Wood as Frodo, Christopher Lee as Saruman, Andy Serkis as Gollum (he is also taking the role of second unit director), Orlando Bloom as Legolas and Ian Holme as Old Bilbo.
Here's the Official Synopsis for the film:
“The Hobbit” follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakensheild. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers.
With Jackson at the helm this is going to be a cinematic experience that will go down in history.
