In case you don’t have much bandwidth, or can’t get to Youtube for whatever reason, here’s a complete transcript of the Hobbitcon Q&A from Hall H. Quick warning: it does have some swearing at the end when Andy Serkis shows off his Gollum voice for the audience. And it does contain some spoilers. Some great answers from Martin Freeman and Richard Armitage to questions about the prosthetic gear, from Peter Jackson about how the Extended Edition process works, and some interesting stuff from Philippa Boyens about Galadriel.
Thanks to the swift typing skills of Barliman’s chat regular Jenniearcheo in putting this together! Also, if you want to view another version of the panel in higher quality, head here. The video quality is better and it has the last three minutes of the panel that was not in the previous version we saw. However, it’s from further back in the hall so the sound suffers a touch. Thanks to Elpidha for the find! Continue reading “Full transcript of Comic-Con Hobbit Panel Q&A!”
In this three-minute clip from the Hall H presentation that’s made it’s way onto Youtube, Andy Serkis expresses his gratitude at being asked to be Second Unit Director for the Hobbit before giving fans a taste of his Gollum voice at San Diego Comic Con 2012. Some 6,500 fans waited in Hall H all day to see The Hobbit panel and a twelve-and-a-half-minute showreel from the film, with many more unable to get in.
Well, the long wait is over. Peter brought 12 and a half minutes of Hobbit goodness to Comic-Con’s Hall H today, and blew everyone’s minds. Reports are that much of what we saw was similar to what was shown at Cinema-Con earlier this year, with a number of interesting changes and two additional minutes of footage.
