I 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.
