'The Hobbit: There and Back Again' Gets Pushed to December 2014

Damon Houx — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 21:15:25 +0000

When it was announced that 'The Hobbit' would be turned from two films into three, it seemed possible that Warner Brothers and Peter Jackson could kill themselves trying to deliver an additional three hour movie only seven months after the release of the second. So it's not a big surprise that 'The Hobbit: There and Back Again' has been pushed from July 18 to December 13, 2014.

10 Things You Didn't Know About 'The Lord of the Rings'

William Shakespeare's works may have been around the world for hundreds of years. Leo Tolstoy's 'War and Peace' may have been studied and scrutinized by the greatest literary scholars of our time. Stephen King might take up more real estate in bookstores than the works of Ernest Hemingway and Mark Twain. J.R.R. Tolkien's books, however, have a fervent following that could make Stephenie Meyer jealous.

'The Hobbit' in 48FPS Won't Make You Puke Announces Warner Bros.

Eric Walkuski — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 16:29:43 +0000

By now you're well aware of the controversy surrounding Peter Jackson's decision to shoot 'The Hobbit' in 48fps, a higher frame rate that has given the movie, at least in the early going, a sped-up and slightly disorienting appearance. (Read our review right here.) It has almost exclusively dominated the conversation regarding the highly-anticipated prequel, and today we have Warner Bros. weighing in to assure us that, contrary to some reports, 'The Hobbit' in 48fps will not make you nauseous. Always nice to know!

Read the studio's full statement on the matter after the break.

'The Hobbit' Clips: Six New Videos of Gollum, Wolves and Goblins!

Eric Walkuski — Thu, 06 Dec 2012 07:00:57 +0000

The reviews for 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' are piling in like a horde of angry orcs, and while most are positive (not including our own), the conversation seems to be dominated by the high frame rate Peter Jackson utilized to help bring the film to life. Fair or not, we had better get used to this being the main topic when it comes to 'The Hobbit', at least during the first few weeks of release.

However, while the world at large must wait for the chance to make up its own mind regarding the film, we have six clips from the epic adventure to hold you over until it comes out. Check them all out after the break.

'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,' the first film in Peter Jackson's 'Hobbit' trilogy, is hitting theaters in just a month and a half now, and that means it's time for more promotional goodies to start popping out, including the official track list for 'The Hobbit' soundtrack.

So, with the one for 'An Unexpected Journey' now available, what does it reveal about Bilbo and his band of merry dwarfs?

Another trailer for ‘The Hobbit’ has graciously been released, and it’s a full two-and-a-half minutes long. Don’t worry, knowing Peter Jackson, there’s plenty of movie left unspoiled. They could probably dole out two trailers every week until release and you’d still have four hours of movie left to watch. Are you excited for ‘The Hobbit’? [...]
