DESCRIPTION

“The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” is one of the most anticipated movies of 2012. And why not? “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy was one of the best franchises ever made and it even won a boatload of Oscars! So now, writer/director Peter Jackson returns with the first movie of the planned three-part series.

Returning with Jackson are Ian McKellen (Gandalf), Cate Blanchett (Galadriel), Elijah Wood (Frodo), Hugo Weaving (Elrond), and the real star of the show, Gollum, portrayed by Andy Serkis who also moonlights as the film’s Second Unit Director. Joining the cast for the first time are Martin Freeman as our new hero, Bilbo Baggins, and Richard Armitage as Thorin.
