Enough, Already With All the Freaking Hobbit Dwarves

For the fourth time in eight days, the Internet is abuzz with sightings of new dwarves from The Hobbit . That brings the number of such recently revealed characters to a grand total of 10 — almost but not quite enough to make a sexy, sexy Dwarves of The Hobbit calendar for the Tolkien obsessive in your life. In all sincerity, I hope you get that calendar. Just not right now .

Back at the beginning of June, The Hobbit finished up its first block of shooting, and in honor of the occasion, Peter Jackson has just posted his second video blog chronicling the production process. Interesting things to note here include the crew’s commemorative jackets (“54 days down, 200 to go!”), the fact that Andy Serkis is the second unit director as well as Gollum, and what the cast and crew… Broadcasting platform : YouTube Source : Crushable Discovery Date : 09/07/2011 21:43 Number of articles : 2

Check Out Tintin and Snowy in New Look at The Adventures of Tintin

It’s bad when images from a movie directed by Steven Spielberg and produced by Peter Jackson call to mind those crudely animated Empire carpet commercials , but such is life for The Adventures of Tintin . The motion-capture spectacle (with Jamie Bell voicing the titular adventurer) arrives in theaters this Christmas, and looks about as comfortable in the uncanny valley as The Polar Express . This is not a good thing. Still, cute dog! Click through for another look at Tintin and his trusty canine companion, Snowy.

Check Out Two New Photos From The Hobbit: Bilbo and Gandalf Face Off

Thanks to a couple of new stills in Empire magazine, the latest pictures of Ian McKellen and Martin Freeman’s sepia-hued prestige in The Hobbit are upon us! And they look… so shadowy. Like a Middle-earth version of There Will Be Blood , where Martin Freeman plays H.W. and McKellen plays a post-apocalyptic version of Daniel Plainview (whose Pringles mustache is replaced with a fibrous beard). Get a load of “young” Gandalf and a new quote from Peter Jackson.

How Jason Sudeikis Mastered Movie Wanking

“Here’s a little movie-magic fun fact for you. I did all my research for that scene by going on Chatroulette, that website where guys masturbate for strangers. My moves in Hall Pass are an amalgamation of, I don’t know, maybe 20,000 different dudes. I took the facial expressions from SexHog22; I took the hand motions from GrizzlyBearDong. Those guys really know what they’re doing.” [ Playboy ]

And The Hobbit’s Bard is… Luke Evans

Peter Jackson is wrapping up major casting on The Hobbit , and now Luke Evans, whose first movie was last year’s Clash of the Titans , is set to play the character of Bard. Deadline describes Bard as “a skilled archer, the heir of King Girion of Dale,” and “somewhat reminiscent of the action-hero exploits of Viggo Mortensen’s Aragorn.” Evans missed out on the part of Tom Buchanan in the new Great Gatsby , so hopefully this softens the blow — or at least gives the trashy rich in the West Egg something to discuss.

Behind-the-Scenes Video of The Hobbit with Peter Jackson: Part 1 of 100

Not only is Peter Jackson taking on the intense, arduous task of bringing another epic fantasy novel to life, but he’s still finding time to explain his technical decisions and also make ten-minute video diary entries for each step of the way. He’s just posted the first video, but given that production just started shooting, is it safe to assume we’ll see about a hundred of these before the movie finally hits?
