Great Effects Featurettes Realise The World Of ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey’

With the first of Peter Jackson’s trio of Hobbit adventures now taking over cinemas and breaking box-office records, you’d have thought promo material would have slowed or stopped, at least until sequel THE HOBBIT: THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG is released on 13th December 2013. Not a chance, as Tolkein’s tale of Middle-earth mayhem still has its fanatic followers, all eager to know more about the journey of their reluctant hero Bilbo Baggins and those dwarf warriors attempting to reclaim their home from the aforementioned fiery dragon.

Jackson’s epic LORD OF THE RINGS prequel is certainly a thrill, and if you loved his previous ground-breaking trilogy (much like myself) you’ll feel right at home. Here we have a look at three featurettes showcasing THE HOBBIT’s stunning visual and sound effects, as well as a look at the at the build-up to completing the film in time for the Wellington world premiere.
