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.
