80 Days Until the Hobbit

September 24, 2012

Yes. I am a BIG fan. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey premiers on December 14, 2012. I have been following the news on this movie for years! I found a website with a Countdown Clock, which includes the days/hours/minutes/seconds until the premier.

According to the news I have heard, this is the first of a three-part movie about the book, The Hobbit by J.R.R. Tolkien. The director of the movie is Peter Jackson. He did an excellent job with the award-winning Lord of the Rings trilogy.

If you are a big fan like me, you may want to check here for all the latest information on the movies and production videos by Peter Jackson.

If you are a potential fan, let me just say that "Hobbits" are worth your time. They are one of the most interesting sets of characters I have ever come across in literature. They are small but full of so much heart…it is hard to describe. You will want to read about them and/or watch the movies to find out.

I highly enjoyed The Hobbit and the LOTR trilogy. Here is the trilogy in order: The Fellowship of the Ring, Two Towers, and Return of the King.
