Director Peter Jackson has unveiled 10 minutes of footage of The Hobbit, starring British actor Martin Freeman (Bilbo Baggins). The Hobbit prequels The Lord of the Rings trilogy, and has been shot at a rate of 48 frames per second, compared with the industry standard of 24 frames.
The footage included scenes of skirmishing trolls, Gollum's cave and Sir Ian McKellen and Orlando Bloom as Gandalf and Legolas once again on the Silver Screen.
The Los Angeles Times apparently claimed the footage was "hyper-realistic," as aerial landscape shots appeared clearer than they would in the average nature documentary. In contrast, the Associated Press reported that "the actors looked almost touchable, as if they were performing live on stage".
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the first chapter in Jackson's two-part adaptation of JRR Tolkien's fantasy classic and releases this summer. Part two, The Hobbit: There and Back Again, is due in December 2013. The films were shot back-to-back in 3D.
I don't know about you guys, but I've grown up watching this epic trilogy and have long anticipated these new editions to it.
