- THE HOBBIT WILL GIVE US A TEASE
Peter Jackson has been updating fans about his latest film
The Hobbit by making Hobbit diaries that he post on his Facebook account. In
his latest posting he has said that the film's innovative cameras, the Red One
Epic, shoots in 5K resolution at 48 frames a second -- in 3D no less. What does
that mean for cinema as a whole? Who knows. But it could be a serious game
changer, even more so than James Cameron's Avatar was back in 2009.

With all this anticipation for The Hobbit, IGN recently got to
chat with Gollum himself, actor/motion-capture performer Andy Serkis, and they asked
him when can we expect a teaser trailer. His response? "There will be a
trailer fairly soon, actually. Around Christmas time, I believe."
They also got to ask him about is work as Second Unit
Director on The Hobbit, a gig he hopes will lead to future directing work in
the future. "It's quite fascinating," he said. "I'm having a
ball. It's a huge operation, really. We're on the road at the moment, at various
different locations on South Island in New Zealand. There are some truly
remarkable landscapes that we're filming in. It's just stunning."
Serkis also added a bit about shooting in 5K at 48 frames.
"It's unlike anything I have ever seen before," he explained.
"The brain has become so attuned to watching films at 24 frames a second.
This is something completely different. It's incredible. You feel inside it and
surrounded by it. It's really great. People will not be disappointed."
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey arrives December 14th,
2012.
