Then
watch “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” in its glorious High Frame Rate (HFR)
3D version in the following theaters: Glorietta 4, Greenbelt 3, Greenhills,
Robinsons Ermita, Robinsons Galleria, SM Cebu, SM Mall of Asia, SM Megamall, SM
North Edsa and SM Southmall.
For
the first time, director Peter Jackson utilized state-of-the-art digital
cameras to record the action in “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” in 3D at an
unprecedented 48 frames per second (fps) for release in High Frame Rate 3D (HFR
3D), as well as all the standard formats.
“We
want ‘The Hobbit’ films to be a visual experience that goes several steps
beyond ‘The Lord of the Rings,’” Jackson says. “3D didn’t really exist in
mainstream cinema ten years ago at the level it does now, and we’ve shot the
movie at 48 fps, which makes it the first feature film to be shot using today’s
High Frame Rate technology.”
Jackson
once again drew together members of the cast of “The Lord of the Rings,”
including Ian McKellen as the Wizard Gandalf the Grey, Cate Blanchett as Elf
Queen Galadriel, Hugo Weaving as Elf Lord Elrond, and Andy Serkis once again
playing Gollum. Framing the story are Elijah Wood reprising the role of Frodo
Baggins, and Ian Holm as Old Bilbo Baggins, who recalls his great adventure
prior to leaving Bag End. Leading the international ensemble cast are Martin
Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, the Hobbit at the center of the tale, and Richard
Armitage as the Dwarf warrior Thorin Oakenshield.
Together,
this team of filmmakers and artists embarked on a new adventure—once again
shooting three movies back-to-back to create a new motion picture trilogy, one
that begins with a Hobbit living in a hole in the ground, on the brink of an
incredible, and quite unexpected, journey.
A
production of New Line Cinema and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Pictures (MGM), “The
Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey” will be released in the Philippines by Warner
Bros. Pictures on Dec. 13, 2012.
The
second film, “The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug,” will be released on Dec. 13,
2013, to be followed by “The Hobbit: There and Back Again” on July 18, 2014.
