"I am doubtful myself about the undertaking. Part of the attraction of the L.R. is, I think, due to the glimpses of a large history in the background: an attraction like that of viewing far off an unvisited island, or seeing the towers of a distant city gleaming in a sunlit mist. To go there is to destroy the magic, unless new unattainable vistas are again revealed. Also many of the older legends are purely 'mythological', and nearly all are grim and tragic: a long account of the disasters that destroyed the beauty of the Ancient World, from the darkening of Valinor to the Downfall of N?menor and the flight of Elendil." J.R.R. Tolkien in a letter to Colonel Worskett - September 20, 1963  |

December 20, 2011 - Finally!
November 29, 2011 - "This scene is all about Thorin and my first real chance at seeing Richard Armitage craft a layered performance with the character. Thorin’s a stubborn dwarf, very much a leader, but is smart enough to heed the council of Gandalf."
November 28, 2011 - Quint from Ain't it Cool News has submitted his 4th report from the set of The Hobbit. This time, it's at the Trollshaws, where Bilbo and the dwarves meet up with the Trolls.
November 14, 2011 - "Forty-Four Hobbit holes were built to be permanent, with retaining walls, waterproofed roofs, etc. The stone bridge was constructed with a steel superstructure covered with real stone cladding. The Green Dragon is the most impressive of them all because it was built with a functioning fireplace, plumbing, water pipes and the works."
November 7, 2011 - Ain't it Cool News's Quint has posted his second on-the-set of The Hobbit report. It's all about his experience of being a Hobbit extra in the film, full of makeup, set, and acting details...
November 4, 2011 - Peter Jackson has just released the latest Hobbit production video! It's all about 3D, but I'm really watching it just to see glimpses of the story in action--and there's quite a few!
November 1, 2011 - "Sure enough, the countryside was beautiful and Tolkeinesque, but it wasn’t until I made a turn and saw the incredibly iconic stone bridge leading to The Green Dragon that it really struck me where I was."
