Issue 16 of Stencil Mag

You all knew this one was coming. December 13th see a return to Middle Earth in the first part of the Hobbit trilogy with Peter Jackson continuing to direct following the gigantic success of the Lord of the Rings movies.

Martin Freeman steps in to the hairy feet of Bilbo Baggins as he ventures out of the homely Shire on the quest for the one ring, an adventure which will not be shy of any obstacles which need to be hurdled, naturally.

What is hardest to take when it comes to this three-part series is the fact that we will be waiting a whole 12 months to see the next episode and then another yea to see the finale. Clearly this is a moneymaking ploy from those in charge of producing the movie, but it has to be said that it is not necessary to turn a single book into three separate films.

As well as using the same director as the Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Hobbit will also one again feature Andy Serkis as Gollum and Sir Ian Mckellan as Gandalf in what promises to be one of this year’s cinema highlights. Make sure you book your tickets now to avoid any disappointment!
