New stories in old universes

[beckymonster]

Newest The Hobbit production video. It's no spoiler to say that this is chock full of awesome things and grace notes. Jimmy Nesbit's bunting, Luke Evan's accent, Calligraphy guy's 'current' work, lots of familiar faces all working hard... or not as the case maybe!

Also - BBC - The Hobbit:An Unexpected Journey to premiere in NZ in November

Post title is also (possibly) the best take on Prometheus that I've read. I'll get around to posting photos and my 'review' (okay, delusional babblings more like!) at some point but know this. I loved it but I 'saw' it (twice! in 24 hours!!) as it was sold - a new story set in the Alien Universe. Think X-Men: First Class if it helps. Same universe - new story to be told.

Highest accolade I can give - I want to see it again.

Watched the production video while The Two Towers was on the TV in the background. It was a very entertaining and enlightening video.

Prometheus opens here on Friday, the same day I start my vacation. Originally I was going to catch a morning show before driving down to the family's. But I think I'll hit the road earlier and then I can go see it Friday night with my brother and father. Really looking forward to seeing it.
