Empire's Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey Video Interviews
Jackson! McKellen! Freeman! Turner! Armitage! Nesbitt!

After a nine year hiatus, Peter Jackson is finally carrying us back into Middle-earth. The story of Tolkien’s hobbit won’t be unfamiliar to you, and the tale of its journey to the big screen – Guillermo del Toro’s departure, questions over locations, two-films-becoming-three, 48FPS and the rest – has been almost as eventful as Bilbo’s journey to the Misty Mountains, so we pottered down to meet Jackson and his cast at an Unexpected Junket and quiz them on the movie.
