Here’s a recording of the Q&A panel from Hall H. Please note that it does not include the showreel footage — it is only the question and answer session.
Still we very strongly suggest you go watch the thing right away. Because if you wait, it might well go the way of the very cool Andy Serkis video snippet that we posted earlier!
Warning: POSSIBLE SPOILERS!
Barliman’s chat regular dwnfalofnumenor snapped these really nice shots of all the panellists for the Hobbit presentation in Hall H today.
Nothing spoilery at all, just some really nice captures of Peter Jackson, Philippa Boyens, Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis, Richard Armitage and Elijah Wood all chatting away happily!
We’ve seen photos of the lenticular posters of the key Hobbit characters (12 dwarves, Galadriel, Gandalf, Gollum and Bilbo) on display at San Diego Comic-Con. But after viewing this short video that someone took of them, I have to say that no photo seems to do them justice at all!
So, go check this out. The clarity of the photos (and on this video recording) is stunning. And the sense of depth is palpable. Amazing stuff.
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.
Folks, get to this one while you can — it might not be around long. This clip is from the Q&A session.
Update: Looks like WB/Wellywood had it removed! Sorry about that folks!

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.
For this crowd it was all very, very new.
Read on for our detailed report on what was shown! Unless you’re not into SPOILERS in which case, look away now!
Note: Updated again with a few additional details and some corrections!
