The Hobbit (Dec 14, 2012/Dec 13, 2013/Dec 16, 2014)

Still a bit nervous about what sort of 'filler' footage they are going to add to the movie(s). The Hobbit is an epic enough adventure just to be told as it is imo.

James Cameron recently talked about how the future of filmmaking will be shooting films at a higher frame rate, which will up the visual presentation of the film. This is something he plans on doing with Avatar 2 and 3. He talked about how Peter Jackson was thinking of doing it for The Hobbit and now it looks like he's actually going to move forward with it. It was recently discovered that the director is currently shooting The Hobbit at a higher frame rate of 48 frames per second. The industry standard has always been 24 frames per second, but it looks like that is all going to change.

The news come from The Hobbit's cinematographer Andrew Lesnie in which he confirms that the film is being shot on 30 RED EPIC cameras, Using Zeiss Ultra Primes, Master PRimes and Optimo zoom lenses, Shooting at 47.96 fps, and they are using 3ality Digital rigs.

So why 48 fps and not 60? Cameron had said that one of the reasons why Jackson didn't choose the higher frame rate was because he didn't want to select the wrong frame rate if the industry went to the alternative. So it looks like the industry is going to move forward with 48 fps, which mean Cameron will most likely be shooting Avatar 2 and 3 in 48 fps as well. The fact of the matter is "60 fps would be significantly more expensive to implement for the modest visual gains."

I've seen 60fps porn, and welcome this change with open arms. It's about time for Hollywood to realize 24fps is practically a slide show and catch up to the rest of the world.

If a movie is shot in 3D it looks great. If its converted (Clash of the Titans) its trash.

I think u missed the point, it was the fact that its gandalf wearing 3d glasses . . hence the lol =/

That trailer got me way too excited about this. I've been waiting since back in 2007 when the first word of this was out. CAN'T WAIT!

Titles announced.

I was kind of expecting "The Hobbit" and "There and Back Again," this doesn't particularly surprise me.
