Last Wednesday, April the 13th, Peter Jackson posted on thehobbitblog.com, the first of the production movies on the creation of The Hobbit: Part 1. The film itself is about 11 minutes long, and features a lot of exciting details about the movie.

I'm really happy about the fact that Peter Jackson is set to be the director of the films, as he was in the previous ones. I feel that he did justice to the books, and preserved the longevity of them as he should have. As you could probably tell by the title, this is one of two parts to The Hobbit films. I'd definitely recommend watching the clip. It just drags you back into that magical realm of Middle Earth and gets you really warm and excited for the next film.
The clip follows Mr. Jackson through several production sets, including Rivendell, Bag End and Gollum's Cave, and through some of the wardrobe and art production departments. Everyone who works there is busy, and they seem happy to begin on this monumental project. The actors themselves seem happy and cordial to one another as well, judging by their actions in the background and with Peter as he guides them through a "rough draft" of the shooting order for their particular scene.
At the end of the clip, we see the crew on a sound stage for the first day of shooting, everyone gathered there seems excited, and the energy in the room is summed up well by Andy Serkis (Smeagol/Gollum):
"On behalf of the returning crew and cast who have come gathered here to go onto the journey and we're just very, very grateful to your incredible hospitality to have this opportunity to share the passion for telling such an amazing amazing story in such an amazing country with such beautiful people."
Good luck to you guys! I'm sure no one will be disappointed!
