I am very curious to see how strongly the amount of money spent will correlate with the quality of this series.
Pretty cool that they are doing a lot of work in New Zealand again. The LOTR really started a revolution in terms of movie production there. If you're really into LOTR or into movie making, I recommend watching (some of) the LOTR appendices. They go into great detail in as to how they produced the original trilogy.
- rightbyte 6y agoCompare the Hobbit and Lotr movies. Simple things as having CGI orcs will mess up the feeling. It is not about money mainly.
- kzrdude 6y agoI get the impression that LotR was a project Peter Jackson had a lot of passion for, and the Hobbit wasn't, really.
- mehlmao 6y agoMy understanding is that he directed the Hobbit movies after Guillermo del Toro was removed, and the studio wanted him to start filming immediately. Fellowship had tons of pre-production time, The Hobbit movies had virtually none.
- larusso 6y agoYes. When they started shooting Lord of the Rings they had already 3 years of preproduction done which means weapons and sets and buildings and all. The hobbit was a constant race against the clock. And they tried to make the goblins non CGI with animatronic heads. But it simply didn’t work and looked good enough. I still feel that the CGI heads in the end are also ugly but what gives.
- adflux 6y agoPeter Jackson got in ONLY at the last moment as Guillermo del Toro bailed out. He simply didn't have the time he had when he did the original trilogy. Preproduction alone took years for that.
