Monday was the first day of around two months of pick up shots for The Hobbit trilogy in New Zealand. To mark the day, Peter Jackson posted an image (left) and a note with a promise of a new production video soon.

Back on set for our last Hobbit pick ups. Our last ever Tolkien pick ups, in fact. It's going to be an intense few weeks, but we're looking forward to shooting some powerful scenes with our great cast. Our next blog is coming soon!
