You really have to admire and love Peter Jackson. In terms of how he makes and produces films he is always on the cutting edge, but he doesn't do that to spite older techniques that work. He'll still actually build sets, and use green screen and 3d cameras to bring those sets to life.
Can't wait for The Hobbit.

I have no doubts this movie is going to live up to the considerable standards of the original trilogy because of the work that Jackson and everyone behind the scenes is putting in
Those were awesome. I really enjoyed that and have a better appreciation for things I had never put my mind to.
Why does Peter Jackson's hair always look so terrible though? With all those hair and effects people, surely someone would have an extra comb, wouldn't you think?

Someone on the youtube video commented that Peter Jackson and Chris Nolan are the two best directors in film right now and I have to agree. For one simple reason: they both make big budget films which are actually good, but more importantly, they don't rely of CGI, Nolan prefers miniature models (even though they cost more) and you can see the sets from Jackson obviously in the diary films.
Like I said with the 3D, the way they're shooting it really shows their passion for film making, and that they're not just doing it for the extra money. They want to make the best film possible and want to do the 3D right.
I think these films are going to clean up at the Oscars again like RotK did.
New still from The Hobbit was released and the first trailer comes out tonight at 8pm. Yay! The trailer will open in front of Tintin tomorrow.

^^ That is truly amazing. This is what film making is all about, watching that I could only think of the difference between what P. Jackson does, and George Lucas. Lucas sits in a chair doing next to nothing, everything green screened and CGI'd, Jackson goes out and builds an entire village, for real. And that's only scratching the surface.

Can't help but respect that.
I really hope this cleans up in the Oscars like RotK did (and I'm sure it will) just because no other movie maker goes out of their way like he does to produce a film of this quality.
It's almost upsetting knowing that a lot of these big block buster films that make $700+ million are mostly just CGI have tripe stories/scripts, terrible acting, horrible directing, bland action, yet still make a killing. I don't know how anyone can watch this (blog video #5) and still mention The Hobbit (or LotR) in the same breath as Transformers or any of that other garbage that has been a "blockbuster" in the past few years. Like the movies or not, you have to respect the film making, which is genuine. They don't give a fata about the money (well they probably do), but they want to tell the best story and want everything in the movie to be good. Not many blockbusters care anymore.
I really hope these movies kill at the box office and break Avatar's record. Peter Jackson and co. deserve that for the amount of effort being put into making these films.
