\"James<\/a>Although officially all shooting for Peter Jackson’s Hobbit<\/em> movies wrapped at the end of pickups last year, the cast have always said that they expect to head back sometime this year.\u00a0 In his interview with TheOneRing.net last November<\/a>, Richard Armitage said, ‘We have nothing official at the moment; but knowing Pete, knowing what that third movie needs to be like, you know, his taste and what he\u2019s aiming for, I have no doubt in my mind that we\u2019ll be going back to do more stuff … On the last day of the shoot, he [PJ] put his arms around me, and he gave me a big hug and said, ‘See you next year.’\u00a0\u00a0And I was like, ‘What, do you mean for the Premiere?’ and he went, ‘No, no; we\u2019ll be back here again\u2026’\u00a0\u00a0‘<\/p>\n

The business section of newspaper Irish Examiner<\/em> contains this article<\/a> about actor James Nesbitt’s entertainment firm Brown Cow Films Ltd; at the very end of the article is the line, ‘Nesbitt confirmed that he is returning to New Zealand in around May for the filming of the third Hobbit movie.’<\/p>\n

There and Back Again indeed!\u00a0 It looks like New Zealand may be becoming Middle-earth, and the fellowship of companions may be gathering, for one last\u00a0journey in a few months’ time. And that is an encouraging thought.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
