Offical synopsis and new set photo for The Hobbit
We reported yesterday that production on Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit was finally underway in New Zealand (here), and we even got the first image from set as proof. While many already know the overall story from Tolkein’s novel, Warner Bros. has released the official plot synopsis for the film on Jackson’s Facebook Page. They’ve also released another photo of Jackson on set (see picture).
“’The Hobbit’ follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield. Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers.
“Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever…Gollum.
“Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s ‘precious’ ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities…a simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-Earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.”
The Hobbit will be split into two movies, and this does give us an idea where that split will happen.
