This past Sunday I showed you the cover for Empire Magazine‘s latest magazine, which featured a shot of Gandalf and now the mag has revealed these two exclusive shots from the film, which are featured inside its pages.
Along with the photos the magazine shares a quote from their set visit:
“I’m exactly the same filmmaker as I was ten years ago,” says [director Peter Jackson]. “I’m trying to nail the same thing that I did before. I’m just telling the story.” The only difference is that this time he has a bunch of snarky dwarves to corral. “They don’t know what to make of Gandalf, they think Bilbo is a wuss, and Elrond a prissy headmaster type,” laughs Jackson.
Check out the second pic directly below.
The first Hobbit film, referred to as The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey will hit theaters on December 14, 2012 and the second film, The Hobbit: There and Back Again, is slated for release on December 13, 2013.
