The film "The Hobbit" director Peter Jackson is one of the most anticipated films of the last decade. After the release of the trilogy "The Lord of the Rings" Jackson promised that he would remove the background and the great saga. Filming always postponed for one reason or another, so that the implementation of the ideas the director believed already struggling. But Peter Jackson, once already carefully embodied on the screen the dream of millions of fans of JRR Tolkien's not one of those who deviate from the plan. He got his way - and here's the summer of 2012 ended a long grueling process of filming "The Hobbit", the film's wide screen is not far off.

How it was

"The Hobbit" is not the actual prehistory of the "Lord of the Rings", the story was written by Tolkien as an independent story, which does not provide for any continuation. The Hobbit Bilbo Baggins meets magician Gandalf and thirteen dwarves and goes to extraordinary journey for treasure, captured the dragon can.

In the film, Peter Jackson's adventure Bilbo Baggins will be divided into two parts. Mindful of detail and scope of the film adaptation of "The Lord of the Rings", it is not surprising, despite the fact that the printed format of "The Hobbit" five times less famous trilogy. Jackson has already proved to all fans of fantasy, which is extremely serious about the work and is not going to save on screen time, not to mention the cost of production of the film.

Filming "The Hobbit" were delayed several times for various reasons. In the beginning, Peter Jackson detained lawsuits and squabbles film companies that could not share profits from the "Lord of the Rings." After the start of the dramatic story of the copyright in the adaptation, which resulted in open letters and mutual accusations on all sides, followed by problems with financing and cast. In the final stages of preparation for the shooting of Jackson patiently waiting for the actors involved in other films to their schedules allowed them to take part in "The Hobbit." So Martin Freeman, selected for the lead role, had to literally pull out from filming the series "Sherlock". The project passed fire, water and copper pipes, came to the finish line.

Fantasy pure

"The Hobbit" JRR Tolkien - is one of the works of world literature, marked the beginning of the genre of fantasy. Children's story is not as simple as it seems at first glance. Before the reader turns the whole world filled with elves, dwarves, wizards and dragons, but still it has hobbits, amazing creatures, which until then no one had heard. This world is like a made-up tales and myths of the distant past. These myths are full of magic, people retell them to each other so long ago that no one remembers where they went. In the same manner, Tolkien begins his narrative.

Peter Jackson himself an ardent admirer of Tolkien. It creates a fictional world on the screen with a fanatical devotion to the original source. Thanks to his efforts Middle Earth comes to life, takes shape and color. Jackson as a virtuoso cinematic language that is convincing in everything that comes into his head. He manages the impossible - create an alternative reality with their own time stream, with its light, sound, even the smell. The picture is that there is no doubt that what is happening is real - it revived the magic of cinema mixed with the mythical world of Tolkien, gaining strength and volume. And there is nothing false or fictional reality in this screen.

The cast of "The Lord of the Rings" has already managed to go down in history as one of the most successful. After "Star Wars" Lucas few of the directors managed to pick up on all the roles in a massive saga character actors, memorable first sight. In "The Hobbit" happily agreed to return Cate Blanchett (Galadriel), Ian McKellen (Gandalf the Grey), Elijah Wood (Frodo), Orlando Bloom (Legolas), and many others, whose participation in the trilogy made them famous.

The role of Bilbo Baggins got famous British actor Martin Freeman, owner of the prestigious BAFTA. Freeman, as already known, the shooting "The Hobbit" is literally taken from the set of the series "Sherlock". Another interesting fact is that Benedict Cumberbatch, who plays a leading role in the same series, was also invited to participate in the film, which voiced dragon Smaug and became the inspiration for the animated facial expressions and movements of the beast.

Rumors and speculation

During the preparation and filming around the film "The Hobbit" there were a lot of rumors. Authors of the project script stored carefully so that the fans did not even have the slightest chance to find out what will bring the film in Peter Jackson at this time.

One of the most common rumor is the emergence of "The Hobbit" necromancer, who later became the Dark Lord Sauron. In Tolkien's story in the novel is not registered, so fans of the canon with the excitement are such plot permutations.

However, there is no doubt that the removal of "The Hobbit" is better than it would make Peter Jackson, no one can. The premiere of the first part of the saga is scheduled for December 2012, the continuation of the same will be released a year later. The audience expects a thrilling fantastic tale, wonderful views of the wildlife in the new New Zealand and, of course, the wonderful world of magic created by one master and embodied on the screen the other.
