"Am I the only one who hated the Star Trek reboot? JJ Abrams is the master of mediocrity and the worst choice for Star Wars Episode 7."

First Look at 'The Hobbit'
Source: EW
Director Peter Jackson has premiered the very first images from his upcoming film 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey'. Starring Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins and Ian McKellan reprising his role as Gandalf, the production is filming now. In addition to each photo, Jackson offered a little insight to each image:
"[Martin Freeman] fits the ears, and he's got some very nice feet... I think he's got the biggest hobbit feet we've had so far. They're a little bit hard to walk in, but he's managed to figure out the perfect hobbit gait.''
"[Ian McKellan]'s in fantastic form... In a way, his role in The Hobbit has more technical difficulties than Lord of the Rings did, because he has scenes with 14 smaller characters... I remember saying to him [laughs], ''Look, this isn't Waiting for Godot or King Lear. This is The Hobbit. This is the real thing.''
"'There's no way you can pace yourself for shoots like these... I felt a terrible drop in my stomach when I saw that we'd be shooting for 254 days. We're only 12 days short of The Lord of the Rings even though we're only doing two movies. When I saw that, I had to sort of pick myself up off the floor and carry on.''
The first part of the two-part prequel, 'The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey' opens up in theaters December 14th, 2012 and will be concluded on December 13th, 2013 with 'The Hobbit: There and Back Again'.

@The Dork Knight
A wizard is never high, Dork Knight. Nor is he ever slightly buzzed. He gets just as toked as he needs to be.

one word: PERFECTION!!!!! damn it yeahhhhh!!!! go peter jackson my man!!! now there is a reason why TLOTR trilogy is one of my top 3 favorite trilogy of all-time and why peter jackson is the right man for this type of story telling, because he is the fucking genius who has given us the greatest Hollywood success of all time, and i would kiss his bare feet just by how he once again got the visuals right, cant wait to see what kind of epic story he has to tell. GO JACKSON!!!!!

@ Russ Shanks
From what I remember, Gandalf was a friend of the Took side of Bilbo's family. He had Thorin and the dwarves hire him because his Took ancestry insured he was abnormally adventurous for a hobbit. Plus, hobbits apparently are excellent at sneaking about quietly, thus making him an ideal burglar.
The fact that Bilbo found the ring was a twist of fate. In the Lord of the Rings, Gandalf explains that nobody knew what a happened to the One Ring after Isildur lost it in the Gladden Fields, so the're no way he could know Gollum had it. Actually, I don't even think he knew about Gollum existing, period. The boosk do say that Gandalf always suspected that Bilbo's ring was a particularly powerful magic talisman, though.
I agree with you about the dwarves. Because of their popular image, they never struck me as warlike. At least not until I saw Alan Lee's watercolors of 50th anniversary of The Hobbit.
