An A-Z of JRR Tolkien's The Hobbit - Sarah Oliver

An unedorsed colourful and critical guide celebrating the movies.

In this lovely 250 page 'facts book', you can discover a whole plethora of "did you know's" and other details about the production of the The Hobbit trilogy.

A is for... auditions.  Find out which pop star auditioned to play an elf and who impressed Peter Jackson the most.


B is for... Bilbo.  Martin Freeman had reservations about playing Bilbo at first - discover why.   He had great fun on set with his fellow actors, find out who he loved working with and who he didn't.  Uncover why the movie Bilbo is different from the book Bilbo too.

C is for... CinemaCon.  For fans of The Hobbit, 2012 was an extra-special year for CinemaCon.  Find out why 3D glasses were needed, what was in the exclusive preview and why 48-frames-per-second is important.

All this and more including... all the behind-the-scenes set secrets, why Elijah Wood had to be involved, and what to expect from the other Hobbit movies.

Published right before the first theatrical release of There and Back Again, this little companion book tells some great insights in the casting choices of the various characters, the story of Del Toro having to leave, causing PJ to step up as a director, and more of the little knick-knacks any fan loves surrounding the movie trilogy as it is produced.

An enjoyable read for sure!
