[gorlack2231]

[oldonlybear]

I cried nerd tears when I saw Ian McKellen sitting at the table and Concerning Hobbits began to play.

[TheBioLover]

[ecksor88]

Peter seems to be a really nice guy.

[TheAngryAmoeba]

This video brings me so much joy. I'm so glad Peter is back at the helm... This is amazing.

[mizsoutiger]

:)))))))))))

[mtr6561]

Peter Jackson- I love you. I just had to tell you.

[nighthawk1421]

I'm really excited for this movie. I'm really happy seeing such attention to keeping the sets similar between this and The Lord of the Rings series.

[Jaysnipes]

NOOOOOOON SHALL PAAAAAAAA-SSSTTTTT!!!

[LinkinSam08]

I think I just had a nerdgasm.

[klusps]

OMG, this so reminds me of all those hours I've spent watching the special features in the LOTR extended edition. It's good to be back in Middle Earth! :D

[ozzylover411]

Its amazing how these people work so hard, not just for our enjoyment and entertainment, but because these films give us our own mental Utopia!! ;)

[Vergast]

so wait, the sets for the LOTRs were destroyed after filming? Why did they need to make new ones?

[PresidentChoob]

@TheKayasto Peter Jackson himself uploaded this video first, but only to his facebook. I uploaded this to YouTube so people could watch it here, and I assure you, I got it up here first, because I checked what other ones where up. There's a couple of copies with more views because they've been featured on other sites.

[MrShane5man]

I'm so Fuckin' excited!

[MapleSoryxX233]

your point?

[MapleSoryxX233]

@PhotoShopChannel wth? i saw this on ign.com dum shit

[PhotoShopChannel]

@MapleSoryxX233 Exactly, other videoes are blocked because this account apparently owns rights to the media. Which you do NOT, IGN do, so you have no right claiming it and preventing others from uploading. go back to school dumb not "dum" shit. Idiot even misspells the word DUMB when attempting to insult me, lol.

[Twistery927]

put up moar? :D

[DaMusique3]

That music :D. Damn I cannot wait for this.

[meatle]

totally nerding out right now

[kuwalacocklog]

When i saw the camera shot of Bilbo picking up the ring i damn near screamed.

[UberCrankyGB]

Ride to Gondor!

[tobiaskiba]

I highly doubt that you own the copyright to this clip



[MapleSoryxX233]

is this the channel that i can see the next part?

[PresidentChoob]

@MapleSoryxX233 I had this up before anyone else on YouTube, and I expect to do so again with the next ones too, yes.

[MasterBain]

@PresidentChoob But do you own the rights? I see a copy of this video has been removed because of copyright claims you made.

[TheKayasto]

@PresidentChoob You don't own it though so you cannot claim copy rights on it you fucking retard

[JacuzziDELUXE]

@MapleSoryxX233

YESSS :D

[MrKimijimmy]

Looks nice! :)

[pwennergren]

@PresidentChoob @Galakhor ok, seems logical :)

[finalfantasy696969]

2  - 3 years? you cant be serious!

[lepetitemonstre]

@finalfantasy696969 It takes a long time to make a movie....

[rampager89]

Great blog Mr Jackson! Thx for the 'input' Sir McKellen! ><

[ElectricAlienCat]

This film cannot fail, hobbits are at stake!

[OlderWaiter]

*nerd squeals*

[WockesZero]

Feels just like watching the behind the scenes of LOTR

[Galakhor]

At 10:18 you can see Sam's replacement.  (The new gardener)

[pwennergren]

Who is that midget?

[Galakhor]

@pwennergren Probably Martin Freeman's stunt double, seeing as he's in the front row with Bilbo and Gollum. Possibly the go-to-guy for pretty much any scene where a hobbit is filmed from the back.

[PresidentChoob]

@pwennergren He'll be the stunt double so they can get the height of the hobbit right. He looks like Deep Roy actually, the guy who did the Oompa loompas in the new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

[CheifPaco]

@PresidentChoob He was in The Lord of the Rings too. He was Frodo's stunt double for the widescreen shots, of course he wore a prosthetic mask.

[HindsightPOV]

@pwennergren

"midget" is pejorative. It's either dwarf or little person.

[freediver24]

You've gotta watch this in 720p. Highlight of this video is when you seen Bilbo's hand pick up the ring on the monitor. I can't wait for the movie!

[ValkyriumBE]

Okay, I WANT the Hobbit NOW

[oldonlybear]

I would love to walk the set for even just an hour.

[mario3311991]

i cant wait for the movie to hit theaters, its gonna be beautiful.

[mark84j]

I watched this entire thing with a big smile on my face. Just seeing all these people that are so happy to be there and to be doing what they love - it's awesome.

Look at how Peter creates a lovable experience for everybody, and compare it to George Lucas' drabness.

I couldn't be more excited for this movie.

[iorgo91]

@mark84j george lucas' drabness? ok, he is pretty shy, but have you haver seen a making off\behind of the scenes of star wars?

[mark84j]

@iorgo91 Yes, I have. He has no people skills and only listens to himself rather than his workstaff. Hence, my comment.

[ArugalSwe]

@mark84j after i watcht this vid around 3 times over and over again :D i just was focet to watch all 3 films all over again haha i read all books once a year ^^

[Ryoni93]

...wonderful...<3



[mtllica1991]

SUPER excited

[Intranetusa]

Hell, it's about time...

[TIKOMIX]

Guillermo del Toro is not directing this anymore?! I kinda wanted that really bad.

[MrWindowPayne]

Facebook brought me here...

Gottta love a bit of WETA! Cannae wait for this film!
