备受全球影迷期待和关注的魔幻史诗经典《魔戒》三部曲前传系列之《霍比特人1:意外旅程》于北京时间12月11日上午11时如期发布了首支预告片。距离《魔戒首部曲:魔戒现身》上映整整十年后,我们再一次跟随导演彼得·杰克逊,重返那个令人魂绕梦牵的魔幻中土世界。《霍比特人1:意外旅程》定于2012年12月14日以3D/IMAX 3D等格式在北美上映,影片也有望引进我国内地。

这支时长两分半的预告以《魔戒》中的镜头开篇,主打比尔博·巴金斯(Bilbo Baggins, 马丁·弗瑞曼饰)和灰袍巫师甘道夫(Gandalf the Grey, 伊安·麦克莱恩饰),此后十三位矮人也悉数亮相,而在《魔戒》三部曲中我们熟悉的面孔里,除了片托一闪而过的佛罗多(Frodo Baggins, 伊利亚·伍德饰)和老巴金斯(伊安·霍姆饰)以外,只有精灵女王(Galadriel, 凯特·布兰切特饰)和咕噜姆(Gollum, 安迪·瑟金斯饰)出镜亮相。

除了上面提到的两位旧将,《魔戒》三部曲中的精灵王子(Legolas, 奥兰多·布鲁姆饰)、精灵王(Elrond, 雨果·维文饰)、白袍萨鲁曼(Saruman the White, 克里斯托弗·李饰)等众多演员也确定回归。此外,加盟《霍比特人》的演员还包括美剧《迷失》女主角伊万杰琳·莉莉(木精灵Tauriel)、斯蒂芬·弗雷(Master of Lake-town)、李·佩斯(Thranduil)等,而与“华生”同样来自BBC剧集《神探夏洛克》的“福尔摩斯”本尼迪克特·康伯巴奇则将倾情献声,为片中的喷火巨龙Smaug配音。

The Hobbit is an upcoming two-part epic fantasy film directed by Peter Jackson. It is a film adaptation of the 1937 novel of the same name by J. R. R. Tolkien and a prequel to The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. Jackson, director of The Lord of the Rings, returns as director of the film and also serves as producer and co-writer.

The film will star Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, Richard Armitage as Thorin Oakenshield and Benedict Cumberbatch as Smaug. Several actors from The Lord of the Rings will reprise their roles, including Ian McKellen, Andy Serkis, Hugo Weaving, Cate Blanchett, Christopher Lee, Ian Holm, Elijah Wood and Orlando Bloom. Also returning for the production are a big part of the production crew; among others, illustrators John Howe and Alan Lee, art director Dan Hennah and cinematographer Andrew Lesnie. As with the trilogy, props will generally be crafted by Weta Workshop and visual effects managed by Weta Digital. Additionally, composer Howard Shore, who wrote the score for The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, has confirmed his role in both parts of the film project.

The two parts, titled The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey and The Hobbit: There and Back Again, are being filmed back to back and are in production in New Zealand; principal photography began on 21 March 2011. They are scheduled to be released on 14 December 2012 and 13 December 2013, respectively.

小编点评:《霍比特人》分为上下两部、以背靠背的方式同时拍摄,整个拍摄将历时254天,总耗资将达到4亿多美元。影片将用RED公司研制的3D EPIC Digital Cameras摄影机拍摄。另据彼得·杰克逊透露,这两部《霍比特人》还将采用新的拍摄技术,以每秒48帧的画面频率来拍摄(注:80多年来,因为每播放1秒就包含24帧的画面,电影艺术一直被称为“24格的真理”)。
