  • For physical reasons, Christopher Leeand Ian Holmboth finished filming their films in London and did not go to New Zealand.
  • Gurum appeared only once in the original novel, so Andy Serkis, who played him, only took a week to finish filming his own scene. But he did not leave the crew, but worked on the crew as the second director.
  • Richard Armitage, who plays the dwarf prince Thorin, is a 1.89 meter big man in reality. When the crew first asked him to play the dwarf, he thought he was joking.
  • It was British actor Robert Kaczynski who was originally scheduled to play the dwarf Philip. One month after filming started, he retired from the crew due to personal reasons, and replaced him by New Zealand actor Dean Ogolman.
  • Sedvin Brophy, the son of Jed Brophy, who plays the dwarf Noli, once played the son of Aragorn and the fairy princess in "The Return of the King"; he played both in "The Two Towers" and "The Return of the King". Played as a strong orc and finally showed his face in "The Hobbit".
  • In "The Return of the King", the unnamed elf who talks to the elf princess has attracted the attention of fans, and they even named him "Figwit"short forin "Unexpected Journey" In the middle, he became Lin Dier, the assistant of the Elf King.
  • The actor Sylvester McCoy, who plays the brown-robed wizard Rhidagast, participated in the casting of "The Lord of the Rings". He wanted to play Bilbo Baggins. He and Ian McLean, who played the gray-robed wizard Gandalf, had collaborated as early as in the stage play "King Lear."

  • This film is the first in film history to be shot in a new format at 48 frames per second. This frame rate is twice the original movie's 24 frames per second. Can make the picture look smoother and smoother. In the 3D world, the use of this new technology is revolutionary.

    After watching the 48fps non-IMAX 3D version, I feel subjectively that the large dynamic scenes are indeed a bit more stable than the previous 3D movies. I hope I can compare it with 24fps. The story is simple, but the narrative is not simple. In the tone of the gunner, any battle in the film can be worth the price. Decided to despise anyone that does not include this film in the top ten list of the year. Looking at the ending subtitles, Andy Serkis turned out to be the director of the second group.

    The best of 2012 without suspense, okay! IMAX+3D has already earned back the ticket price in a few games! The story of the prequel makes the Lord of the Rings more plump, and it is really satisfying for the fans~! The peaceful Shire, the dreamlike Rivendell, the beautiful goddess, the dashing old man, and the cute Gollum (extremely well-interpreted), and the whole story has a sense of adventure that relives the reproduction of the Lord of the Rings. On that familiar music TT

The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey quotes

  • Galadriel: Mithrandir? Why the Halfling?

    Gandalf: I don't know. Saruman believes that it is only great power that can hold evil in check. But that is not what I have found. I've found it is the small things, everyday deeds of ordinary folk that keeps the darkness at bay. Simple acts of kindness and love. Why Bilbo Baggins? Perhaps it is because I am afraid, and he gives me courage.

  • Bilbo Baggins: I just need to sit quietly for a moment.

    Gandalf: You've been sitting quietly for far too long!
