Peter Jackson walks you through some familiar looking sets, shows us some dwarf beards and some dwarf combat training.

Enjoy

Saw this a few days ago. I just can't wait for this film. My dilemma now is do I keep watching these updates or is it going to spoil it?
 
Great link, sandbender. I love Tolkien's works and there are so many of them beyond The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit. I like the movies too and I plan to go
backpacking in New Zealand someday just to see the incredible landscape

Can't say I have much interest in the film, for me PJ messed up with the LotR films, and I know he's only really making a film based on the Hobbit, due to all the changes to it already.
 
I am glad I am not alone, Nagual. The LotR's films could have been brilliant. Why did he decide to spoil them with unnecessary changes?

Me too, but of course I will watch them. Not so happy about the suggestion that the movies will be in 3D, I may have to wait for the DVD. :)

Anyone who thinks that the LotR films were good should be hung from a cliff by one wrist for fourteen years...

Say what you mean Tengu, don't hold back. :)

I have been reading the books since before the age of 10 and I enjoyed the films, perhaps the first more than the others, if nothing else the films may have encouraged others to read the books and that cannot be a bad thing.

Some of the stuff in the LotR movies were great. other stuff not so

I love the Balrog, he looked excellent but the collapsing stone and run just before was dire, hollywood crap.

McKellan as Gandalf I thought was a good choice but the guy who played Aragorn, totally wrong.

Characterisation of many main parts had been changed - why? Did they think they knew better than the Tolkein himself? Some of it was not just to cut for the film either.....
 
Changing the dialogue that has been the core element to all Tolkiens works from day one, to something more trashy ala Hollywood was just weird. If you go to youtube, and search for a user called 'pettytyrant101' he has a few re-edits of the films, if you mail him, he may even send you a complete re-edited version of all 3 films, put in roughly the same order as the books, with new effects.

I quite like JRRTs Poetry.

<Says she who thinks that many poets need to be eaten alive by a wolf...I mean after their apprechiation circle has suffered the same fate>
