2012 is shaping up to be an amazing year for film, and the final stroke just might be The Hobbit, which comes out in December. I love Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings films. I saw the originals in the theater, own the theatrical and extended editions of all three and have watched those films several times over. The Lord of the Rings trilogy represents a triumph of cinema; they certainly represent some of the best filmmaking of this generation. The Hobbit can only be directed by Peter Jackson as his is the only vision anyone can trust to revisit Tolkien’s world. I’m delighted that Jackson has dedicated himself to making The Hobbit films. Now we’re getting our first look of the film.
It looks like another film set in the Tolkien-by-way-of-Jackson universe, which is perfectly fine by me. It reintroduces us to the beauty of the world and some of the beloved characters, lest we’ve forgotten, and shows us for the first time the dwarves who assist Bilbo in his quest. We’ll be seeing much more of this in the year ahead.
I’ve also included the one-sheet that shows the Shire in its glory. I can’t wait for An Unexpected Journey.
