THE HOBBIT, Production Diary 6

Peter Jackson takes you behind the scenes of the making of THE HOBBIT.

Famous dwarven last words before getting blasted off the mountain: "There's a chopper behind me.. isn't there?"

[@slammbamm1977]

"Gandalf! We must turn back!"

[@lukysak1954]

Peter said: We are just 10 years older... And it's 2020 now. I feel so disconnected from time and my real life as I watch these vlogs now.

[@bubblezovlove7213]

It seems like a week ago I was watching Peter Jackson do the makingn of Bad Taste....

[@lavaman5504]

well its now 2021

"There's a copper behind me, isn't there?" ... *VROOOM*

Peter Jackson.... what a guy. Hero status easily attained and not just because it was Lord of the rings. He had me at Bad Taste. The improvisation, the creativity, the soul of it. His mum feeding the cast baked beans. The guy is my bloody hero.

[@Daudlegur]

he is a racist for not filming people of color, and other members of LGBTQ+ community

[@kathywilliamson1826]

Bad Taste was a masterpiece

[@AprilThompsonDeadpool4eva]

1:24 Thorin's hair flip then his pony does it too. so funny

[@spider-boy758]

Lol

[@ayaglas]

Jaja

[@SephTheHuntress]

He mentioned it in an interview. It was so cute

[@orangefonta]

Thorin and his horse hair flipping made my day. It should be a hair product commercial.

[@0087sophie]

I really liked that they minimised their impact on nature there. Tolkien himself was a nature lover and he would have liked seeing the Hobbit made with such care, I think.

[@user-so9tv8dz4c]

The movies are basically nature porn action film

[@spanqueluv9er]

Tolkien would have HATED all of Jackson’s movies, you have no idea what you are talking about?🙄🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️🤡

[@pacrat6271]

@@spanqueluv9er they did say he’d like the MOVIES they said he’d like the precautions taken to make it so they didn’t mess up the nature.

[@0087sophie]

@@pacrat6271 Thanks, that's exactly what I wanted to write back. @Matthew Love - I have no idea if Tolkien would have liked the movies but yes I did hear his son said something along those lines of him probably not liking them.

[@rotzfrosch0970]

I hope they did....!

I love how the dwarf is almost blown away by the chopper

[@sailorarwen6101]

What a treat these diaries are. I was 11 when The Fellowship of the Ring came out. The books and all of the films are such a huge part of my life I almost feel like I was there watching the production. If only lol it is officially my life goal to take a backpacking trip across New Zealand. I want nothing more

[@Kyle_Hubbard]

I was five here my dude, lol. I remember by brother showing me The Fellowship back in 05-06-07 one of those years and getting bored about half an hour to an hour into the film. I thought it was pure fucking shit, thinking why does he like this boring movie. Then years down the line I ended up watching one of the films, I can't remember how it came to be but it just did. Since then I've seen LotR twice maybe three times as the standard version and four to five times the extended. From there on I saw the hobbits standard once and watched the extended twice, owning both extended versions. I don't regret a single day.

[@GrandDukeMushroom]

I just LOVE how they built a huge boardwalk to reduce the impact on vegetation

[@moritzerich]

they´ve build it to bring all the equipment up there!

[@frodobeutlin1066]

AND to reduce the impact, das they say

[@flow3446]

after watching this i have a new kind of respect for the amount of work that goes into movie making and everything the actors to the produsers are willing to sacrafise just to entertain us.

[@djcorvette8375]

It's not just to entertain us.

[@sajgodanny3208]

Pretty sure their sacrifices are 98% for money, 1.8% for fame and acting continuity in future movie roles and 0.2% for the love of art.

[@usemenoid]

1:23 Thorin does a faboulous hair/beard-flip and the pony thought: i can do that better XD

[@chairgames1678]

so true :p

[@OCA2blue]

I really love these diaries. It's surprising that more people haven't watched them! Thank you Peter Jackson for giving your fans such a nice gift.

[@rose-gw8ox]

1:38 he's the best boy there ever was

[@Zamolxes77]

Unfucking real how beautiful that country is, Romania is pretty wild and beautiful too, but New Zealand really takes the prize. That look of untouched wilderness, you expect a dinosaur to walk out of the woods or from behind the ridges.

[@Kakiisch]

Oh my, oh my. I work as a lone video producer, editor and filmer for a small consulting company and looking at these blogs just makes me teary eyed. Such a great team, spirit and professionalism is just something overwhelmingly inspiring. I'd give (almost) anything to be a part of a production like this.

[@VMSMark]

Hey, anything changed in your life after 11 years?

[@-Vitalis-]

The whole dwarven group is just awesome. They're so endearing. Must be one of the best characterizations processes ever done.

0:50 William Kircher: "In Pew Pew" Me: *DYING OF LAUGHTER*

[@jamesfilios6138]

I may not have loved the movies very much but I sure am greatful for these production diaries. Thanks Peter Jackson for giving us a glimpse into what goes into movie magic.

[@ART-oq4ek]

LOTR TRILOGY, Hobbit, Desalution of smaug etc.. FILMS are very watchable and worthy.the best of the best in decades. Never gets old movies all actors are great! The ditector is cool and amazing! Keep ya head up!💯😎

[@maximusmiles8435]

The incredible planning, and precision of execution. Is absolutely mind blowing. A real achievement. Not to mention the final product. Epic.

When he said he never saw a crew pack up their gear so fast, because of the issued bad wheather warning... listen to the music...it´s hilarious, because all of a sudden it also goes REALLY fast! (11:45) I love it!

[@merkabababy6740]

i cant stop watching these...it would be so cool to be on the set and help make these movies. these people are having the times of their lives, i am very happy for them. i love the hobbit and you can tell they enjoyed making it

[@gashgashik2648]

Какая красота, фильм снят с полной отдачей и сколько бы я ни смотрела его, хочется ещё и ещё. Работа всех просто гениальная ну и природа, да сама сказка там живёт. Спасибо всем!!!!

[@deeperpurposelive]

the scope of the project is just unbelievable. It's amazing how they pull it off. and for such a great film it's all worth it!

[@justalonesoul5825]

I cant believe I'm only seeing this now, but at the same time it's quite fantastic to still discover more high-quality content to extend those Middle-Earth experiences delivered by Peter Jackson, which moved me so much... The amount of nostalgia and even saudade is nearly overwhelming when watching those movies aggain, all the DVD bonus, even those diaries... All that cast, all that gigantic crew, somehow feel like family ; or at least a family you've dreamed countless times to be a part of... I can only hope I'll be able to visit New Zealand (and Hobbiton, and Mount Ruapehu, and....) before the end of my days. Thank you so much to Peter Jackson, the whole cast & crew, and to all the lovely New Zealand people who brought their help (or even just permission...) for making this extraordinary, unforgettable and magical movie experience come to life. And utter respect to JRR Tolkien, of course...

[@oliverpinelli3334]

Fantastic, when so many people work together to create something wonderful. From a certain point of view, this is more important than the movie. It´s a big blessing to be involved in such a work.

[@Emg2463]

epic work. epic management, epic logistic, epic team. very impressive.

[@user-gf1rr5sf5w]

A day on tour at Hobbiton ending with a hobbit ale and banquet in the Prancing Pony is a favourite memory. Little clotheslines with Hobbit washing on the line, picket fenced garden plots with hobbit size wheelbarrows & garden tools, rustic, colourful letterboxes on posts at the gates of each home…What a delight. If you can’t get out to Hobbiton do stop to visit the Matamata Visitor Information Centre. Life size Hobbit building purpose built as Hobbit house/info centre. Authentic materials and workmanship down to one off beveled glass/stained glass windows, hewn wood furniture, solid wood oval doors etc. Picture perfect ! If/when I return to beautiful New Zealand I’ll do the whole thing again ! 🥰👍

[@Ilodrin]

I've seen all the vids as well and, again, I can't believe there is so little comments or even views ! I mean, really? Anyways, this is great to give us folks the opportunity to follow the crew through the shooting of this film. I read the Hobbit when I was 8 and it was the most enchanting reading experience I ever had. Good luck to you all to wrap it up, and I'll see you on screen (I'll probably curse you after movie one for having to wait a year for the next, but it's nothing personal...)

[@MephistaFilth]

The landscape reminds me of Iceland a lot. Apart from the trees.
