The Hobbit (the Jackson films)

[Schlauer Fuchs]

Here comes Peter Jackson.

[Schlauer Fuchs]

And now Benedict arrives

[Carol the Dabbler]

I like what Jackson said, "The difference between me and the fans is that I'm the lucky fan that got to make the films."

I got it back with using my phone's wifi option. It's working again saw Benedict show up. No Sophie with but her schedule may not have allowed it possibly.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Did anyone see Martin's arrival? Saw pic in the upper right corner that made it seem like he's there.

[Schlauer Fuchs]

Yeah, he's there. He already did the short interview with the woman, but not yet the one with the guy in the blue suit who's interviewing Luke Evans now.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Will have to rewatch later.

Benedict with the lady interview

[SherlockedCAMPer]

This green carpet seems longer than the one for TIG which doesn't surprise me.

[Schlauer Fuchs]

I'm really peckish, but I don't want to leave the screen until I've seen Benedict's and Martin's guy interviews.

 

Does anyone know when the film is going to start? Then, at last, I might get a chance to get myself something to eat...

[Carol the Dabbler]

They've been saying the live streaming would last an hour or two.  After that, I would imagine it'd be available for playback as a regular video.   I sure hope so, because I apparently missed Martin Freeman's interview, or at least his first one.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Yay -- caught his second interview!

 

[Schlauer Fuchs]

Finally a chance to get some food. Thank you for the interview, Benedict

[Carol the Dabbler]

And -- it's over!

 

For those of you who missed it, surely the whole thing'll be available as a regular video real soon now.

 

[SherlockedCAMPer]

My sister in law called shortly before Martin's 2nd interview so I mostly missed everything after that (which I don't mind as I don't get to see my brother's family nearly enough). Just got off the phone with her.

[Schlauer Fuchs]

well, I bet all the interviews will be on youtube within a couple of hours and the rest was just actors giving autographs (well, what else?)

[SherlockedCAMPer]

So looking forward to the video being posted later so I can see everything I missed.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Schlauer, Don't forget the announcement of their arrivals.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

The video is replaying at the same link now.

[Carol the Dabbler]

Namely, right here.  (Not embeddable, sorry.)

A friend shared this video that Peter Jackson posted on FB yesterday.  I hunted it down on YouTube

Oh the feels (at least for me)...as if we didn't get enough from Moftiss

 

 

I realize that I'm running a risk of restarting the pre-nostalgia, but judging by some comments that I think I understood during the red carpet, this song is actually in the movie.  I'm guessing it'll play behind the closing credits, in which case definitely better bring the Kleenex!

 

Added:  Yup, finally got to see the Billy Boyd interview.  It's the closing song.

 

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Yes it is supposed to be the closing credits song.

[SherlockedCAMPer]

Will hopefully be on my way to buying our tickets for The Hobbit in a few minutes. Midnight showings are so fun been with crazy schedules like what my son & I are going to have that day.

[Carol the Dabbler]

I just discovered a whole new batch of video interviews from the premiere, done by Absolute Radio.  The questions are different, so the answers are different also.

Here's a new clip from Battle of the Five Armies posted on YouTube by Warner Bros.:

I wonder whether this scene may actually explain a brief bit from the trailer that Alex interpreted as a specific passage from the book?  (I hope not -- would far rather see them follow Tolkien for that part.)
