WILL THE REAL HOBBIT PLEASE STAND UP?
Peter Jackson spoke to the Los Angeles Times this week about why he chose Martin Freeman to play Bilbo Baggins in the upcoming Hobbit films. According to Jackson,"He is fantastic and there is simply nobody else for the job." Jackson was in San Diego taking a break from filming the Hobbit that will be told in two parts in December 2012 for the first film and then a year later in December 2013. “We couldn’t find anyone who was better than him.

THE CAST OF THE HOBBIT
Here's a look at the cast of the new movie, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, that will be coming out in 2012. While you might not know who all of these people are, I've made a list of the names and the where you've seen the actors in the past.

PETER JACKSON: GOOD OR EVIL?
It isn’t new to movies. We hear the words, “Based upon true incidents…” or “Based on the book by….” The new Hobbit movie(s) are no exceptions. Peter Jackson is “fixing” the Hobbit to make it more of his own. Do you think this will be a good or a bad thing? He actually hasn’t admitted to “fixing it”. That’s a quote from Tim Burton in his 1992 movie ‘Batman Returns’ where Burton “fixed the Penguin”. It was a failure. Is Jackson now walking down that same path? Here’s a look at what is different in the new movies. [READ MORE ABOUT JACKSON'S HOBBIT]
