After much delay in production, things are moving full steam ahead on the Peter Jackson-directed film version of the J.R.R. Tolkein classic The Hobbit. Now that the Hobbit dwarfs have been cast, early production has moved to assembling the sets for filming. TheOneRing.net has come upon a set of exclusive photos from the Miramar, NZ of The Hobbit and they share them with all of us.

Ringer Spy Mr. Anderson sends along these exclusive pics of The Hobbit sets being built in Miramar, NZ. If you look closely at some of the pictures, you’ll notice that the architecture seems to resemble that of Moria. I’m sure we can all draw our own conclusions, but could this be a flashforward sequence for Moria? Maybe we are getting a peak into the Lonely Moutain? Or maybe it has nothing to do with Dwarves at all!

I must confess that it has been many, many years since I’ve read The Hobbit and to be honest, I don’t recall the names of the places in the book … let alone what they may look like. But, I deffo plan to re-read the classic novel before this film hits the big screen. As for filming, The Hobbit is now scheduled to begin principal filming production on March 21:

After several delays, “The Hobbit” will now start shooting on March 21. Aidan Turner who will portray Kili recently told Entertainment Weekly that he has been joining physical training for the movie and growing his beard to resemble the dwarf. Martin Freeman takes the lead role of Bilbo, with other officially announced actors including Ian McKellen, Richard Armitage, Cate Blanchett, Andy Serkis, Sylvester McCoy and Elijah Wood. Peter Jackson is set to serve behind the lens for the two-part adventure movie.

We still have a very long time to wait before The Hobbit hits theaters but the time will fly by in no time. I’m actually looking forward to going back to Peter Jackson‘s Middle Earth again. His Lord of the Rings trilogy films are just so awesome … it’ll be nice to see his take on the prequel story that gets the whole saga started.

Richard Armitage will forever be Mr. Thorntorn. :D I first saw him in the North and South miniseries DVD and have loved him since then. :D
