From Entertainment Weekly:
We'll all have to wait until Dec. 14, 2012, for the full fruits of director Peter Jackson's labors on his two-part adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's Hobbit. But, to tide us over, Jackson has shared the first images from his Lord of the Rings prequels with EW — and talked to us about how the fantasy epic is shaping up so far.
Will Deadpool and Wolverine end the MCU losing streak?
Deadpool & Wolverine wakes up the superhero genre with a swift kick to the taint.
The Beast Within asks if the beast is a mask or the true form.
Man it's just so cool to see the Shire again. And Ian McKellen as Gandalf is just really neat. Jackson has once again perfectly nailed the feel of it all. Can't wait to see more!
Takes me back to Lord of the Rings.
Hmmm, I could look forward to this. I hope it is a high quality film as the pics suggest.
Oh and one other thing. That tidbit about there being 254 shooting days...that's nuts! He even said Lord of the Rings was only 12 days longer than that and they did 3 movies, not just two. These films are going to be massive. Makes me wonder how big the extended versions are going to be.
Peter jackson brings back the good stuff :)
