The first trailer for the Simon Pegg, Nick Frost and Edgar Wright trio’s THE WORLD’S END is here and even though I like these guys and their previous films, I can’t help but think they’d be better off keeping things more simple. In THE WORLD’S END, a group of friends reunite to try and do [...]

I don’t know about you, but I was one of the thousands (millions?) of Tolkien fans who followed every bit of the ‘action’ as THE HOBBIT went from pre-production to stalled, picked up directors and dropped them like flies, and eventually landed back on the front step of the masters of Middle Earth, Peter Jackson [...]

History has a funny way of repeating itself. Like they did with the original Lord of the Rings trilogy, one can only assume that New Line/Warner Bros. will double dip into THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY and release both a theatrical cut and an extended cut of the film. Although in the case of The [...]

When I first saw LORD OF THE RINGS: FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, I was forever changed with an incredible moviegoing experience that has yet to be matched. Like many people, to say I love these films would be an understatement of epic proportions. You can imagine my excitement when news broke that Peter Jackson would [...]

Next week THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY opens in theaters and damage control is as strong as ever. By now I’m sure you have heard that the initial reviews for Peter Jackson’s latest foray into Middle Earth are less than stellar (you can check out our review next week), so new clips from the film [...]

THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY hasn’t even hit theaters yet, but today we’re getting a look at the first photo from the last film in the trilogy THE HOBBIT: THERE AND BACK AGAIN. Maybe this is a marketing tactic to get people to ignore all the crappy reviews that have been coming out for THE [...]

One of the most anticipated characters in Peter Jackson’s next film THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY is apparently the dragon Smaug which is being voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch. Since I haven’t read The Hobbit, I’m not sure how much significance this dragon plays in the story, but who doesn’t love dragons. Unfortunately, this short TV [...]

It’s hard to call this short clip featured below a “sneak peek” since we’ve already seen so many images, trailers and clips from THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY, but technically we’ve not seen any part of this scene so take it as you will. In the short bit Gandalf (Sir Ian McKellen) gives Bilbo (Martin [...]

Yet another in a seemingly endless line of TV spots for THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY has been released, and I think it’s safe to say that if you weren’t already excited to see this film come out then all of these extra promotional blips won’t change your mind and make you want to run [...]

So much marketing has been going on for Peter Jackson’s first installment in The Hobbit trilogy called THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY. In fact, today we have seventeen new character posters to show you, not excessive at all, right? That seems like a wasted effort to me, especially since I know there will be very [...]

Day before yesterday the first television spot for THE HOBBIT: AN EXPECTED JOURNEY was released, and now we’re getting another one. I’m sure these two are just the beginning of what will be a huge push by the studios to get you to see Peter Jackson’s first installment in The Hobbit trilogy. Soon other companies [...]

These new banners for THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY look like something you’d see hanging in McDonald’s and not something to sell tickets to a Peter Jackson film, but it’s all about the Benjamins and filmmakers have to eat, too. With that said, you can check out four new banners for the first part of [...]

Apparently Warner Bros. sent out a 90th Anniversary press packet today that mentioned that THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY will be coming to Blu-ray in the fourth quarter of 2013 in the form of THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY: EXTENDED EDITION. No other details were announced, and we shouldn’t expect any until probably summer next [...]

What kind of week would it be if we didn’t have any new news on Peter Jackson’s THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY? Some would say a very dull week, however, lucky for you guys a new poster was released that showcases all the dwarves from the film. I guess if the dwarves were your favorite [...]

So far, the marketing campaign for THE HOBBIT: A UNEXPECTED JOURNEY feels very familiar to the Lord of the Rings films, right down to the posters. But it worked pretty well with the first trilogy, so I guess there’s no reason to change anything. The latest poster features Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, clutching Sting [...]

Earlier today a new trailer for Peter Jackson’s THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY was released, and because we are all celebrating Tolkien Week the nerds good people at www.thehobbit.com have come up with five alternate endings to the trailer you saw earlier today. That seems a little obsessive to me, but then again I’m not [...]

Tolkien Week has reached its peak today as Peter Jackson has just released the new trailer for THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY. Despite my earlier misgivings, this trailer actually makes me want to watch another adventure in Middle Earth (though just one more, not three more). Martin Freeman seems to do a fantastic job as [...]

So are we happy or frustrated that Peter Jackson turned J.R.R. Tolkein’s ‘The Hobbit’ into three films? Fan reaction seems to be mixed, with some craving as much Middle Earth as they can get and others concerned that there’s not enough material to make three films (even though Peter Jackson has said he’s going to [...]

So were you excited or disappointed that Peter Jackson officially decided to break ‘The Hobbit’ into three separate films? I’ve heard compelling arguments on both sides, but I’m probably leaning towards the disappointed camp. I’m only moderately excited to revisit Middle Earth and now having to go through three more films doesn’t sound like a [...]

A very late casting announcement came out today for Peter Jackson’s THE HOBBIT films, with Scottish funnyman Billy Connolly signing on to play the Dwarf cousin of Thorin Oakenshield, Dain Ironfoot. Ironfoot pops up during the battle of the Five Armies, so I doubt we’ll see Connolly in the first film. Most people will remember [...]

Posted by: Brad Sturdivant Is it possible to be overloaded with promo images and marketing propaganda that you’re sick of the film almost 18 months before it’s due to hit theaters?
