Everyone loved The Lord of the Rings. It was a major achievement in film and visual effects. For those of you who wondered if Peter Jackson would make a Hobbit movie, the answer is yes. He's been working on it for some time now. Years, in fact. Those who have kept up with the film world know how difficult it was for him to get things moving on it and are excited that things are working out now.
Jackson sent out a 10-minute video from the set of the movie. In it, he shows the actors, a couple of the sets, and gives us plenty of Middle Earth to tide us over for a while.
Also, he's shooting the movie (in two parts) at 48 frames per second. Quickly, for those who don't know, film is shot at 24 frames per second, and projected at the same frame rate. When you shoot at 48 frames per second and then project at 48 frames per second, since there is twice the amount of frames in such a small amount of time, the image is much much smoother and better to look at. Jackson and James Cameron are trying to shift the industry in this direction, and it is a good thing. This will also make 3D more bearable and enjoyable for everyone. Anyway, that's another topic for another day.
