If you’re like me, you feel geeky excitement every time a new Hobbit filming location is announced or leaked. If the studios haven’t announced what’s being filmed there, it’s great fun to try to guess. If it’s already known what’s being filmed at a certain location (Hobbiton in Matamata is a pretty obvious example), it’s still fun to envision how scenes from “The Hobbit” will look there and/or try to spot new details in the locations and sets that weren’t there for the Lord of the Rings movies. Message board member ceppault has now made it ultra-easy for all of us to track the filming locations and visit them virtually with him via his Hobbit Production Locations version of Google maps. ceppault has also included quotes about the locations from articles and/or spy reports that add interesting details to the ‘pins’ on the map.
Thanks go to ceppault for sharing with us and allowing us to share it with you. If you’d like to help add to the locations, give ceppault your feed back it the active thread on our Hobbit Movie discussion board.
