With The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug practically close enough to touch, a new production blog has arrived from Peter Jackson and his sprawling team of Middle-earth-movers, shot across several months as they were beavering away at different points of the film’s production. Take a look…
(function(d, s, id) (document, 'script', 'facebook-jssdk'));Post by Peter Jackson.
We’re treated to the usual variety of behind-the-scenes peeks, including Martin Freeman proving to be a champ at table tennis, the dwarves mocking each other (as usual), glances into various post-production offices (with all chances to see Smaug obscured for those waiting to see him in the film), a look at how the pick-up shooting has been filling in scenes and plenty of nonsense from the usual suspects.
Stephen Fry makes an appearance talking about the Master of Lake-Town (and Peter Jackson even gets in what must surely be a sly dig at films that explain a lot about politics while claiming to be big adventure epics), and there’s even a brief shot of his royal Cumberbatchness.
We’re promised one more video blog before the year clocks off, so be on the look out. The Hobbit: The Desolation Of Smaug arrives in cinemas on December 13. If you're after new clips from the movie itself, head here.
