We’re now less than eleven months away from Peter Jackson’s return to Middle-earth with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first of his two-part adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s original novel, followed by The Hobbit: There And Back Again next December. We’ve seen and heard some fantastic things from the new film already, most recently including [...]
*Advanced Plot Spoiler Warning: As you can probably guess from the title, things are going to get a little spoiler-y in a few lines, so if you’re wanting to fly fairly blind with The Hobbit, then look away now!* We first got word way back in June last year that Evangeline Lilly had been cast [...]
Yes, the Lord of the Rings Trilogy was ten years ago but when a company brings out a poster as cool as this, it has to go up! Have you ever wondered what Aragorn might look like if he were a Lego man, no, neither have I for that matter but for anyone that has, [...]
The clever chaps at UK PR Company Way to Blue (WTB) have done it again and delivered some fabulous graphs detailing the impact of trailers released just before the Christmas holidays when we saw he Hobbit (Peter Jackson), The Dark Knight Rises (Christopher Nolan) and Prometheus (Ridley Scott) all released.

So we’ve had the first amazing trailer and now we get the first poster for Peter Jackson’s new movie, The Hobbit. I decided to put the teaser trailer artwork in a separate post as Apple did such a terrible job getting the trailer out, it’s been an age since that went up so I thought [...]

Earlier this evening I put up the news that Warner Bros. had officially announced that the first trailer for The Hobbit will sit in front of Tintin in the US and no sooner had I put up the news than CBM have placed a nice new image of Martin Freeman aka Bilbo Baggins from The [...]
Warner Bros. have just announced on via their Twitter account that The Hobbit Trailer for An Unexpected Journey will sit in front of Tintin when it hits the US on the 21st December which is all well and good but the question I have is when will we be seeing it in the UK? Most [...]

Peter Jackson made quite an impression long before Frodo and Sam set out to set fire to a piece of jewellery, with some expertly crafted and inventive low budget horrors with Braindead (renamed Dead Alive in the States) a choice landmark on my own particular cinematic horizon. Stepping from the gore soaked ruins of the [...]
Here’s a lovely new batch of images from the brand new Tintin movie, The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn which hits UK cinemas 26th October.

Last week, I got to speak to a man who has been in some of the most well known films of all time and who I’ve admired watching on the big screen for over 30 years. That man is John Rhys Davies who has starred in Raiders of the Lost Ark, The Lord of the [...]
It’s interesting that I’m writing this panel up for HeyUGuys as it seems that the story of Tintin is much better known in Europe. North America is pretty much in the dark when it comes to these tales. However, it helps the cause when you have a movie being made by the likes of Steven [...]
It’s an unusal beauty parade but the latest image to wing its way from Bag End is the perfect way to complement the many seperate images we’ve seen of the dwarves from Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit films.
