Well Laketown is pretty far east so I'm guessing they'll portray it as more of a multicultural city.

I made a simple OT for this movie over at PSU (another forum I frequent):

http://www.psu.com/forums/showthread...fficial-Thread

Feel free to check it out and let me know if I should add/change anything.

I'm sure it will pale in comparison to Loxley's OT.

A whole mess of behind-the-scenes B-roll footage has been released - no major story spoilers or anything, but it does show a lot.

B-roll 1

B-roll 2

Absolutely. Not to mention it looked kind of lame.

The production diaries are always great, thanks for posting this one, Scully. :) I recall seeing the virtual camera thingie from one of the Avatar special features. It's really neat.

Looks as though we now have inadvertent confirmation that Bilbo does put on the Ring at some point during his initial encounter with Smaug - which I know a lot of people were questioning based on the trailers.

Someone who said they have seen it on the IMDB board answering a bunch of questions (up to you if you believe them or not) said that Bilbo puts the ring on twice. When he first goes in and sees smaug and another time during their encounter. Apparently most of the time during his encounter with Smaug he has it off though


BTW Smaug looks amazing in that final shot! Holy

actually, it does make sense given that laketown's economy is primarily based on trade going up and down the river. jackson could make the case that the town would serve as a hub for merchants from the surrounding lands, leading to a more diverse population than what's been seen in any of the other films.

Still totally "spoiler free" over here :3. No clips or soundtrack exept the trailers and that one short clip with Gandalf at Dol Guldur that released ages ago. I totally gobbled everything released for TUJ so feels good to go in relatively fresh this time.

Glad to hear that the cinematography is a step up. Because AUJ was severely lacking compared to the original trilogy. So many unnecessary swoops from a guy who I expect unnecessary swoops from.

You can pretty much guarantee that whatever the heck Jackson makes post-Hobbit trilogy will be shot using Dragons. Shame he put his remake of The Dam Busters on hold :(

Spielberg seemed pretty optimistic about it still happening last I knew, and Jackson originally said he was going to get the mo-cap done this year - but that likely never happened.

Right now I'm just going to assume that it'll happen next year :/ I wouldn't be surprised if at some point during the press tour of DoS someone prodded Jackson for updates on it.

He was supposed to start the mocop this year for a 2015 release, but his last interview where he discussed what's next for him, he said he would go back to smaller projects.

Dammit Peter.

I wouldn't hold him to his 'smaller projects' statement, he said the exact same thing around the time he was finishing Return of the King - he then went on to do King Kong. The better time to ask him will be when all three films are out and he doesn't have six million things to worry about on a daily basis for a little while. He may very well go back to small films, but you know, "fool me once..." and all that.

One more week. Gotta say my hype has been pretty low. Probably cause I haven't followed much regarding the movie other than the trailers
