This is the most in-depth interview we’ve seen to date with James Nesbitt regarding The Hobbit and living in Wellington, NZ.
The Hobbit bring Nesbitt to NZ (Sunday Star Times)
Nesbitt is playing dwarf Bofur, one of the 12 companions of hobbit Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman), though further details about the production are secret. Nesbitt will say only that his latest project is “an incredible experience. It is a massive, massive project. You can’t believe it when you go down to the studios. I mean, there are all these different stages, there are hundreds of people involved and yet it feels like a family”.

On this episode of Hobbit in 5, production photos arrive from the Hobbit set, fans share their stories on Tolkien Reading Day, Saiorse Ronan gives us her insights on how the Hobbit film might be different from The Lord of The Rings production, and Weta Workshop offer up a wonderful Bag End replica giveaway if you can solve their puzzle.
Nothing too groundbreaking here folks, but we do have some of the first pics from the set of The Hobbit! Just like during the production of The Lord of the Rings, folks are out there trying to capture any tidbit of information related to the The Hobbit and enthusiastic to share it with the world! The images in this article come to use from Master Titi who captured a few actors and crew as they prepped for their roles in the film. Among the imagery you will see Andy Serkis in his motion capture suit for Gollum, Adam Brown (Ori) coming out of his trailer, James Nesbitt (Bofur) on a cell phone and some other cast/crew hanging out. So if you didn’t believe production had begun, now we at least have proof that something is happening! Also, if you think you can identify the other crew/actors in these pics, please leave a comment or share your thoughts in our forum!
