The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, the long awaited prequel to The Lord of the Rings is slated for release Holiday 2012. After years of legal wrangling, Peter Jackson and New Line Cinema finally came to an understanding over the royalties for the original Lord of the Rings films, which garnered 17 of a possible 30 Academy Awards. The premiere is slated for a November opening in New Zealand, which is Peter Jackson's homeland and the site of the majority of the filming. It will be followed up by The Hobbit: There and Back Again, which is slated for a late 2013 release date. Here's a preview of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey:
Thank you to Being a Geek for sharing. Game of Thrones is fantastic. If you haven't read the books , read them. In the world of fantasy literature, there have been a lot of average writers, but three great writers stand as colossi . In my view, they have defined the genre: J.R.R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings and the mythology it spawned. Robert Jordan's The Wheel of Time and the mythology it spawned. George R.R. Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire and the mythology it spawned. And if you haven't seen the HBO show yet, then get on it. The show is approaching the end of Season 2. Season 1 was fantastic. Season 3 should be amazing as the show's popularity has amped up HBO's spending. It's available via HBO On Demand or catch it on HBO on Sunday evenings. Another HBO show that is amazing is Boardwalk Empire , be sure to check that out. It's about Prohibition and features Al Capone as one of the characters.
