Coming into a world so established as that of Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth must be an intimidating task particularly as the character of Thorin, so central to drama of the story being told in The Hobbit. Richard Armitage is well known on these shores as a leading player in the BBC’s long running spy drama Spooks [...]
Andy Serkis is as much a part of the story of The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings movies as Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Phillipa Boyens.

When it comes to cinematic technology Peter Jackson has always been a resourceful filmmaker, keen to push the boundaries of what is possible on screen.

After months (and years…) of patiently waiting, Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is finally upon us, and to mark the release we caught up with Adam Brown, who plays Ori, one of the starring dwarves. Brown, prior to taking on this grand project, had spent much of his acting career on stage, so [...]
Peter Jackson salutes the “best phone call” he ever made, when persuading Martin Freeman to take on the lead role as Bilbo Baggins, speaking graciously at the press conference for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Taking place in Claridges Hotel, London, earlier this week – Jackson was joined by producer Philippa Boyens and various members [...]
The world and his warg will be beating a path to the nearest cinema to catch up with Gandalf, Bilbo and the rest of the gang from Middle-Earth for the first of Peter Jackson’s new film trilogy. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey finds us back with Jackson over a decade later and despite the new [...]
Richard Armitage’s career has been going from strength to strength and it’s no wonder that Director Peter Jackson cast the up and coming British actor for the role of Thorin (which we find out means ‘a darer’ in Elvish) in The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first of three movies in this latest franchise. We’ve [...]

Continuing our coverage of Peter Jackson’s return to Middle-Earth with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey we have another interview with some of the cast.

The Lord of the Rings franchise was just slightly too early for the use of 3D technology, a format that has since become almost a given as far as big Hollywood blockbusters are concerned. And any such talk of a conversion into the popular format was quashed at The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey press conference, [...]
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is just days away from hitting the big screen this weekend, and there’s a lot of anticipation surrounding our return to Middle-earth for various reasons. The most obvious, of course, is that The Lord of the Rings was so immensely successful, and Peter Jackson’s return to the world of hobbits, [...]
