It's here. Today is the day. After years of waiting, it has arrived. Peter Jackson presents The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the first part in his trilogy taking us back to Middle-Earth for an adventure with Bilbo Baggins. One of the most fascinating, exciting and enjoyable parts of leading up to this day has been following the making-of The Hobbit in Peter Jackson's wonderful video blogs, ending their An Unexpected Journey coverage at #10. "One last Video Blog for opening day... featuring the movie's Worldwide Premiere in Wellington, NZ." A look at the premiere, but as it says at the end they will continue with Smaug in 2013.

Here's the tenth video blog for Peter Jackson's The Hobbit for its premiere, or visit Facebook for HD:

In a hole in the ground there lived a hobbit... The Hobbit, being directed by Peter Jackson in two separate parts, is set in Middle-earth 60 years before Tolkien's Lord of the Rings, which Jackson and his filmmaking team brought to the big screen in a trilogy ten years ago. The Hobbit films, with screenplays by Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, Guillermo del Toro and Peter Jackson, will be shot consecutively in digital 3D using the latest camera technology. The Hobbit follows the journey of Bilbo Baggins, played by Martin Freeman, who is swept into an epic quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor, which was long ago conquered by the dragon Smaug. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey arrives in theaters in 3D/48FPS December 14th.

alex - a wonderful watch - you can really see the cast and crew have a very friendly relationship. we all certainly have our own preferences; but, this is definitely my film of the year.....i enjoyed it like none other this year.

These video blogs have been fantastic, and we probably have 20 more, 10 for each movie left. Peter sure knows how to put on a show, Wellingtonians must have had a ball last months An Unexpected Journey will surely be screened as long as up to the release of The Desolation of Smaug next December, I wonder how many times I will see it? I didn't catch the King Kong video blogs ones when they "aired", but I think I missed out.

    Um, retarded much? It's his daughter.

      another foolish comment from the idiot david banner.....watch the vid, clown - he called her his "companion"....i didn't even know he had a daughter.
      - David Banner
        
        Creepy? How the fuck did you see that as creepy? Doctor, heal thyself, you comments, and your re-editing of them to make people look like fools is getting out of touch with reality.
      - beevis
        
        wow.....are you an idiot........
      - David Banner
        
        Your defense of calling Peter Jackson creepy(and hinting at......) is to continue to call me an idiot?? Wow, you could have just edited/deleted your post, but you'd rather go on like this. Get your ears rinsed, he said his "companion on the red carpet", not what you were thinking, you took it to a dark place.

    I'm not sure if that makes me creepy now, he he. But I suppose it wouldn't be the first time for a director. Beer is not so good for judgement.
