After a two-year production delay forced Guillermo del Toro to quit this project, only one man could take his seat in the director's chair - Peter Jackson, the New Zealand filmmaker behind J.R.R. Tolkien's other series,
Lord of the Rings.
This two-part prequel to LOTR introduces fans to a much younger Bilbo Baggins who must reclaim the lost Dwarf kingdom of Erebor from the dragon Smaug. Familiar faces like Cate Blanchett, Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen and Orlando Bloom all reprise their roles, while newcomers Evangeline Lily (as elf Tauriel) and Sherlock's Martin Freeman (as Baggins) are fresh additions. My precious.
