Argh! How is it that a short, hobbit-like, curly haired, LOTR-obsessed girl from Auckland missed out on the only opportunity for an extra I am ever likely to want or get?
I'm glad to see Elijah and Ian and just as good friends as they are in the film. awesome. and to be reunited in such a magical place for such magical films...
these two films are gping to be the best in history..im buyin a collectors edition if theres even one and going to watch it five times or ten in threarers, dont care if i have to go alone
I've been to matamata before and it's stunningly beautiful, was on the trip to taupo and the glow worm caves, the months I spent living and traveling around New Zealand... Priceless
These production videos are good because it gives you some insight on how much work people actually put into this World of Dreams. Personally, I'd love to be standing there on set. That would be a privilege like no other. To act in the such a profound film, is something in my World of Dreams. When I lay in bed at night and listen to the songs of LOTR, it makes it feel real. Like it's more then just a film.
I've been watching this all day over and over, it's just do amazing to watch, I love seeing hobbiton town, can not waitttttttttt till part 2 which if he Peter said early new year, im hoping by next week. I didn't even know he put out the 5th blog till today.
@Jerothan Haha, yeah, that was my reaction as well. "Goddammit, what??" When I'm 30 I'll certainly be a rancid old raisin. Damn you Elijah, you fountain of youth-drinking mother'ucka, you.
Dang this is kinda worrisome. Only a couple months of shooting and PJ is already rather large again and his hair is graying. If he keeps this up he won't be around long enough to film The Silmarillion
Is Peter Jackson gaining weight again? Because he's starting to look more and more like PJ from the Lord of the Rings time. :) A little more grey, but otherwise unchanged! <3
Huge smile on my face from this stuff. I can't believe we have to wait almost a year for part one. I guess I should get back to work on that time machine...
... yours, but i know it is your heart and soul that makes you truly spectacler and heart melting... I wish that one day i may be able to ve in The Hobbit befor time runs out. I cant wait for The Hobbit to come out, but something, a coal, still burns deep in my heart that i will ve able to be in it befor the end. But, j know tgere will neverbreally ve no end. Forever, LOTR and The Hobbit will live on forever and ever. There is truly no other work of art that could top these off.
Fell in love with The Shire... Still falling in love... Always will be falling in love...... I wish so badly that i was in this beutiful truly amazing amazing work of art. Its hard though becouse i live in the US and have parents who would never let me run off to New Zealand for a while to be in a movie and miss months of school.... I love u Peter. I love u Elijah! By the way, Elijah, with tour Frodo hair, u look as u did as a teenager.i dont know if youl ever loose that heart meltingnface of y
Amazing, I can't bloody wait for this movie! New Zealand looks incredible too.. and I laughed hard when the put the Days of Christmas music in the background of the guy talking about how many animals there were.
I wish someone started created Hobiton villages around the world, you actually pay to live there...I mean who wouldn't want to live in a place like that? The fresh air, the stunning views, the connection with nature...pure bliss imo :)
@TemperatureIndicator There are places similar to Hobbiton in real world. Search pics of 'Priorat (Spain)'. All are small towns in the middle of mountains and forests. I live in one of this towns (Cornudella de Montsant) and I can (luckly) enjoy the fresh air, the views, the nature, etc. It's true that everytime there are more people and the towns are growing, but compared with nowadays cities this is much better.
@Delospinyos I kinda figured there are places similar. I've cycled from the bottom of England to the top of Scotland and I found a ton of villages and what not but I was thinking of actual Hobbiton villages, if I had a choice between a village and Hobbiton, it'd be Hobbiton hands-down.
@TemperatureIndicator I am in full agreement. They need places like this. It would do extremely well. Even if you aren't a huge Hobbit fan, being in nature alone is nice.
@Sallyallie89 I rode my bike from Lands End to John O'Groats in October and I saw so much nature and beauty. It would be a pity if they don't create something like this because I think we all rely too much on technology and such at times.
Merry Christmas to all the cast and crew!!! Eat lots of turkey over at NZ and have fun and get lots of presents!! But remember, we will all be waiting our big present next December, you are the best for making this movie!
reasons. And at this point they have gathered 4,5 million. And on the last day the most money comes in! So we are going for the 8 million euros. A record. Check it out at 3fm.nl! It's dutch but great, with great songs! Serious Request has spread across europe. Belgium, Sweden en Switserland has joined. Also Kenia, Africa! Great Great Great!!!! Proud to be Dutch!:D Merry Christmas and a Happy Newyear everyone!
Merry Christmas Peter and Cast and Crew and Everyone in the World:) In the Netherland we are doing a good cause for mothers who are affected by war! 3 dutch radio DJ's are in a glass house without food. Only fruit juices, coca-cola and water. People can request songs for 5 days, 24 hours per day. This is the last day, and tonight at 9 o'clock amsterdam time they will get out. People also gather money doing jobs and moneyactions like walking with sponsors. People can give ofcourse money without
This was lovely and oh man the music started and the tears started falling. I know its cheesy but This movie series holds such a special place in my heart.
I'd like to wish a very Merry Christmas to Peter Jackson and the entire cast and crew who are working on The Hobbit!! Can't wait for next Christmas to see the movie!!!!!!!
Argh! How is it that a short, hobbit-like, curly haired, LOTR-obsessed girl from Auckland missed out on the only opportunity for an extra I am ever likely to want or get?
