Description

The first of three epic instalments in director Peter Jackson's blockbuster prequel to his Lord of the Rings' trilogy. Set in Middle-Earth 60 years before events in The Lord of the Rings, the story follows the adventures of Hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), who, at the instigation of the wizard Gandalf (Ian McKellen), suddenly finds himself co-opted into joining a company of 13 Dwarves led by Thorin Oakenshield (Richard Armitage) to help reclaim the Dwarves' lost kingdom of the Lonely Mountain from the clutches of Smaug the dragon (voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch). After setting out on their quest from the safety of Bag End, the band of travellers soon find themselves pitted against a range of strange and fearsome opponents, in addition to a small, slimy creature known simply as Gollum (Andy Serkis).Extra Content• "Video Blog #1: Start of Production" • "Video Blog #2: Location Scouting" • "Video Blog #3: Shooting Block One" • "Video Blog #4: Filming in 3D" • "Video Blog #5: Locations Part 1" • "Video Blog #6: Locations Part 2" • "Video Blog #7: Stone St. Studios Tour" • "Video Blog #8: "Wrap of Principal Photography" • "Video Blog #9: "Post-production Overview" • "Video Blog #10: "Wellington World Premiere" • Theatrical Trailers - Trailer 1• Theatrical Trailers - Trailer 3 - Dwarves• Theatrical Trailers - Trailer 3 - Letter Opener• Theatrical Trailers - Trailer 3 - Bilbo Contract• Theatrical Trailers - Trailer 3 - Gandalf Wagers• Theatrical Trailers - Trailer 3 - Gollum Paths• New Zealand: Home of Middle Earth
