Ian Brodie in Hobbiton

Middle-earth News contributor Sébastien Sigaut got a chance to sit down with award-winning author and photographer Ian Brodie in a little coffee shop in New Zealand a few months ago. Brodie is the author of the The Lord of the Rings Location Guidebook and the much anticipated The Hobbit Location Guidebook.

We’ll have to wait until November 15, 2014 for the Hobbit guidebook to be released, but while you wait, you can grab a cup of coffee and enjoy a chat with the man who has traveled throughout Middle-earth (and Narnia and all over the world). In this audio interview, Brodie shares his favorite locations from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit trilogies, which countries he loves to photograph, and his upcoming film-related projects.

 

 

A special thanks to Sébastien for sharing his interview! He transcribed some of the audio in French for his website jaimepaslactu.com.

If you need some images to look at while you’re listen to Brodie speak, thumb through your own copy of The Lord of the Rings Location Guidebook or peruse the many gorgeous photos on IanBrodie.net.

Author: Lily’s first experience with Tolkien was when the eccentric Mrs. H performed all of the characters from The Hobbit in her seventh grade class. In high school, she felt obliged to decline a second date with a boy who said he had no interest in reading The Lord of the Rings. In college, she unwisely decided to reread her beloved copy of The Hobbit during finals week, with only semi-disastrous results. When not writing for Middle-earth News, Lily tries not to unnerve her coworkers and family with her extreme geekery, but somehow, Star Wars, Star Trek, Sherlock, Merlin, Doctor Who, The Princess Bride, Back to the Future, superheroes, Disney movies, and of course, Tolkien, seem to have relevance in EVERY conversation.
