For all you "Lord of the Rings" fans out there, a quick peak at Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit", with Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, Ian McKellan as Gandalf. Looks like it's in production after being in develpoment hell. We'll have to wait until next year, but for me at least, it's worth the wait. Looking forward to it.

I was trying to figure out who Martin Freeman was...then I looked him up on Wikipedia. He did a great job in his portrayal of Dr. Watson in those new Sherlock Holmes series. I think that’s the only thing I’ve seen him in.

It comes out Dec 14th 2012.
We have a week to see it before the world ends! LOL

The next James Bond movie comes out next year too. Can’t wait for them both.

I always thought he should have made this movie first and then the Trilogy. But then again, I also always thought that you couldn’t really understand the whole epic without reading “the Hobbit” first!

Hopefully Jackson will be FAR truer to the source material than he was in the Lord of the Rings movies.

Gandalf is truly gay, apparently.
