Panting, Exhausted, Action: Making The Hobbit

The Hollywood Reporter magazine carries a detailed article on the making of The Hobbit movie,  from its troubled beginnings to it becoming a trilogy in Peter Jackson’s hands.

Peter Jackson shares his thoughts about The Hobbit and there is a behind the scenes look at

filming:

Can you just be a lot more panting at the beginning?” Jackson asks the dwarves. “All of you are puffed. OK. Panting, panting,  exhausted and action!”

make-up:

For each dwarf there were six wigs and eight beards.

“I’ve never done such a hairy movie,” says makeup and hair designer Peter King. “Everywhere you look, there are tables and racks of wigs and beards.” 

and crafts:

We had bookbinders, musical-instrument makers,” says production designer Dan Hennah. “Pretty much every craftsman you can imagine in Middle Earth was here.”

The first film in the trilogy, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is in cinemas from 14 December.
