For anyone who follows movie news on the Internet, it’s difficult not to have an unhealthy adoration for Peter Jackson. Besides the fact that he often makes amazing films, he loves to document his process for the world to see. Mostly, this documentation is revealed after the fact, with super-extensive special features on his DVDs. But he does a great job pre-release too, releasing video blogs, special trailers and so much more.
That fan-friendly approach continues with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The production continues to release an overwhelmingly extensive collection of behind the scenes images from the set of the December 14 film. Check out the massive gallery after the jump. Read More »

Individual character posters are practically de rigeur when marketing a big franchise tentpole, but it’s a strategy that works way better when the film in question has, say, four to ten main characters. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey features no fewer than seventeen characters that Warner Bros.’ marketing team has deemed onesheet-worthy, which just seems like overkill no matter how important each of them are.
Meanwhile, Universal’s solution for the sprawling cast of Les Misérables is to pair some of them together for their posters.
