Presenting the Honest Trailer of The Lord of the Rings. It’s a movie series in which everybody is white — and when they die, they come back whiter!
But don’t worry (too much) — “When you have got it, you monitor it, and you have to be careful it doesn’t spread,” Gandalf explains. “But if it is contained in the prostate it’s no big deal. Many, many men die from it, but it’s one of the cancers that is totally treatable.”
Andy Serkis presents Gollum’s holiday travel tips because sure, why not?
“Roll up the precious’s socks and stuff them into shoes. More room for raw fish!! GOLLUM. GOLLUM.”
This week in EW: We take a deep dive into into The Hobbit, exploring the film’s long, difficult road to the big screen and the critical, sometimes controversial creative decisions director Peter Jackson has made along the way. Precioussssss.
Last night, Stephen Colbert launched a full week of episodes dedicated to dissecting Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey — complete with a set elaborately decorated to look like The Shire, where Middle-earth’s most fuzzy-footed creatures make their home.
The fake pundit — and real Tolkien superfan — welcomed as his first guest Sir Ian McKellen, a celebrated actor who’s best known in geek circles for playing Magneto in the X-Men movies and Gandalf in Jackson’s Tolkien adaptations.
Press play to see a new Hobbit clip, talk of “Gandalf the Gay,” and McKellen’s assessment of who would win in a fight between Magneto and the White Wizard. In short: Can every week be Hobbit Week?
Nerdgasm alert: In honor of the Dec. 14 release of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, The Colbert Report will present four nights of Hobbit-themed programming from Dec. 3 to Dec. 6.
Guests will include stars Ian McKellan (Dec. 3), Martin Freeman (Dec. 4) and Andy Serkis (Dec. 6), along with director Peter Jackson (Dec. 5).
Said Colbert in a statement: “Elen sila lumenn‘ omentielvo… I mean that sincerely.” Translation: “A star shines upon the hour of our meeting.”
Sorry, Cumberbitches — the start of production on the third cycle of this detective drama has been moved from January to March. Sources say the shift was necessary to accommodate the busy schedules of the show’s breakout stars, Benedict Cumberbatch (who’s filming Star Trek 2) and Martin Freeman (starring in The Hobbit).
The Emmys are all well and good — but have you seen Andy Serkis reading from The Hobbit in his Gollum voice yet?
Middle Earth, round three!
“It is only at the end of a shoot that you finally get the chance to sit down and have a look at the film you have made. Recently Fran [Walsh], Phil[lippa Boyens] and I did just this when we watched for the first time an early cut of the first movie — and a large chunk of the second. We were really pleased with the way the story was coming together, in particular, the strength of the characters and the cast who have brought them to life. All of which gave rise to a simple question: do we take this chance to tell more of the tale? And the answer from our perspective as the filmmakers, and as fans, was an unreserved ‘yes.’”
One whopping 12-and-a-half minute preview of both Hobbit films and four sneak preview scenes later, we’re just glad to be back in Middle Earth.
You know how when you finally return to a once familiar place that brought you great comfort and happiness after a long time away, and you’re nervous that it may not quite be the same? Well, don’t worry. The Hobbit looks and feels very much like The Lord of the Rings, and even if the stakes don’t feel nearly as dire, Middle Earth still felt very much like home.
