The Hobbit Finally Starts Shooting

Posted by Soulskill on from the victory-after-all-i-suppose dept.

Tiger4 writes "Warner Bros. has announced that production has officially begun on Peter Jackson's movie adaptation of The Hobbit. Jackson even posted a couple of pictures of himself on one of the sets. This despite the strikes, bankruptcies, contract disputes, and legal actions that have swarmed Jackson and the project since his Lord of the Rings days. Admit it, secretly you've been dying to see this happen."

    They got little baby legs
    And they stand so low
    You got to pick 'em up
    Just to say hello

    I hope Leonard Nimoy gets a cameo in the movie, and a reprise musical number. He'd make a great elf, with the pointy ears and all.

    Gandalf: I want you to go into that bag and find my ring.
    Frodo: Which ring is it?
    Gandalf: It's the one that says Bad Motherfucker on it.
