Sue Vertue of Hartswood Films, the company behind Jekyll, Men Behaving Badly but most importantly Sherlock, has confirmed filming for series 3 of the BBC show will start this month.

First picture: The Desolation of Smaug
This is the first official picture from the second of the three The Hobbit movies. The first movie is The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and the second is The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug. I think Samug will be popular. He’s voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch; star of Sherlock and Star Trek into Darkness.
The alternative The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey trailer
This is the second trailer for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Truth be told it’s very similar to the first. In fact, you’ll have to watch out for just a few seconds of differences from the first.
The Hobbit video diary – the last of the filming & Comic-Con
I don’t know if you’ve been following Peter Jackson’s video diaries from The Hobbit but this one is worth watching. This won’t be the last video diary but it is the last one from filming.

There is no official permission to share this Hobbit photograph but I can sense that both their editorial team and their legal department really want small, grass […]

First up is the news that Stephen Fry will be joining The Hobbit’s cast along with the seven foot tall Conan Stevens. Fry will be playing The Master of Laketown. Conan […]
Rumour control: David Tennant to play Legolas’ father
Will Doctor Who’s David Tennant play Sindarin Elf King Thranduil? Thranduil is, of course, arch-archer Legolas‘s father. The Hobbit casting rumour mill is in full force as the echo chamber mulls this over. MovieWeb think so but admit it’s not been confirmed. It’s been widely known-or-speculated that Tennant tried out for the role of Bilbo […]
