Facebook Hobbit Updates

Peter Jackson has posted his first video blog from the set of The Hobbit showing production starting on his 3D epic which is being filmed in New Zealand. The video on his official Facebook page gives fans a chance to see the set for the Lord of the Rings prequel, costumes and props being made, and cast rehearsing. Jackson said: “I just wanted to take this opportunity to give you a little look at the lead up to filming. I look forward to keeping you up to date as we go through the next two or three years.” Members of cast and crew, including Andy Serkis who returns as Gollum and Martin Freeman, who stars as Bilbo Baggins, are shown making speeches to the team at the beginning of filming.
