Is this going to get shown in 48fps in the UK?

In select places.

 

[THE-Pink-Dagger]

There's zero chance that the movie will be bad, it's just a question of how good it will be, and I believe it will be fantastic.

The last two tv spots made me even more excited, the comedy looks great with the dwarves and the scene in the 7th spot (I think) with Bilbo addressing the Dwarves somewhere in the forests is just splendid, Freeman's delivery is just so good, and the movie looks so gorgeous.

Alas, to be that age again.

 

[Loxley]

Oh snap, new vlog imminent Wonder if it'll cover WETA Digital or Howard Shore at all? They're the two biggest aspects of the production that we haven't seen any of in any of the vlogs yet.

This is interesting, Ian McKellon reveals that a certain scene involving Bilbo's past was shot at his request (SPOILERS, etc).

overkill on the marketing

To be fair, Air New Zealand did the same thing for the Return of the King premiere.

Sick and quarantined to my room with just a 28inch 1080i crt...

Its fine, since I'm re-watching the EEs.

Always forget my favorite line from Fellowship: "...you have elected the way of....PAIN"

What orders from Mordor m'lord? What does the eye command?

 

[Loxley]

C'mon guys.

I ain't even gotta post the quotes.

 

[Altazor]

and they call it a mine... A MINE!

 

[Loxley]

In all seriousness, my favorite quote from Fellowship is from the deleted scene between Boromir and Aragorn in Lothlorien:

Aragorn: Take some rest. These borders are well protected.

Boromir: I will find no rest here. I heard her voice inside my head. She spoke of my father and the fall of Gondor. She said to me, even now, there is hope left, but I cannot see it. It is long since we had any hope. My father is a noble man, but his rule is failing, and our people lose faith. He looks to me to make things right and I would do it. I would see the glory of Gondor restored. Have you ever seen it, Aragorn? The White Tower of Ecthelion, glimmering like a spike of pearl and silver, its banners caught high in the morning breeze. Have you ever been called home by the clear ringing of silver trumpets?

Aragorn: I have seen the White City, long ago.

Boromir: One day, our paths will lead us there and the tower guard will take up the call: The Lords of Gondor have returned.

Freakin' Boromir's a poet.

I LOVE that scene. I imagine they hated cutting that from the theatrical cut.

I would not lead the Ring within a hundred leagues of your City!

The Lord of the Rings trilogy will always hold a special place amongst movies for me, as my brother, father and I have watched them all on boxing day in the cinema. We are doing the same with the Hobbit as well, can't wait.

WE HAVE WORK TO DO.

No joke, I quote lord of the rings trilogy like every day. People don't even notice I do it. I don't even notice. Some lines have just worked their way into my daily vocabulary. Same with Seinfeld. I don't even care if no one notices, I do it for me

CG looks incredible.

 

[Amir0x]

On the Hobbit HFR capable theater list, does that mean if a theater is on the list it will definitely be showing Hobbit in 48fps? http://www.thehobbit.com/hfr3d/index.html

'Cause it has this one ->

Wilkes Barre, PA

Moosic 20 + XD (Moosic, PA 18507)


And it'd be so nice to go to this one and NOT have to travel 2 hours to see something special, like I did for Rises and true IMAX, which resulted in a horrible accident. I rather stay close lol

That vlog is kind of spoiler heavy btw, more than the others.

Dat soundboard. Looks more complex than NASA's control room.

So basically they're actually done and want to make it seem like they're not?

Very cool. We're so close...

 

[Raguel]

Its so incredibly awesome to see john howe and alan lee in the vlog. So much of the visual themes of world of Tolkien came from those two.

 

[-Pyromaniac-]

yeah wtf was that lol, where do you even start.

 

[mjc]

Man I can't wait to see this.

 

[Loxley]

Done? They've got two whole movies to finish As for the first film, the movie isn't scheduled to be completed until a couple days before the actual premiere (as was stated in the vlog).

Also, dat Misty Mountains theme. It's clearly meant to be the anthem for (at least) the first film.

That's the closest one to me. A little less than 2 hours.

 

[GCX]

I think it'll be the overal main theme of the whole trilogy. It just sounds like such a perfect follow-up to the fellowship theme.

 

[maquiladora]

Yep, I literally looked away during every shot of the film they showed.

 

[THE-Pink-Dagger]

Looks incredible as expected, WETA digital FTW, so beautiful.

 

[Little Old Man]

Incredible chills from the part where Shore is recording the Misty Mountains theme.

Can't believe the film is so close!

 

[raphier]

no nonononononononno the spoilers are vast and heavy. ;.;

 

[Expendable.]

Awesome video blog, my favorite one yet.

 

[THE-Pink-Dagger]

I swear to God IMO that the Misty Mountains theme and the song by the Dwarves are the two best things that Shore has ever done. So fu cking epic, Misty Mountains theme is already cult for me, and even better than the LOTR theme.

The Misty Mountains theme was not made by Shore.

Wut? Have I missed something? I remember reading that Shore does much of his composing himself instead of actually having ghost writers and stuff.

Plan 9 wrote the original tune for the dwarves to sing. They did some of the songs in LOTR too. Shore expanded upon on the tune to make into the full orchestral theme.

Interesting info, anyway it sounds great. I just love the score, my favorite might be Erebor (in Deluxe edition) which I'm guessing will be in the

prologue with battle of Azanulbizar, which is hopefully in the first movie
