The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey has its première tonight and opens for the public Wednesday 12 December at midnight. We have tickets! Yes--for midnight! [is excited] And awww, today's Herald had a poster of Martin Freeman looking very anxious and Vila-like. [loves] There was a photo of the main cast and I noticed Sylvester McCoy was in there; he

Enjoy the film!

I noticed Sylvester McCoy was in there; he plays Radagast the Brown.

I hadn't known that until Saturday, when it came up in a clearly very up-to-date general knowledge crossword.

BTW, I think you would enjoy the piece that I've linked to in the most recent entry on my own LJ.

I didn't know till this week either! Why didn't anyone say?

Cool link! The version of The Hobbit I have is a beautifully illustrated children's book. :-)

Enjoy the film!
That is a lovely sculpture, kinda creepy but good.

[vilakins]

Very effective, isn't it, with the bubbles!

Yaaay :D I was able to watch a little of the premiere festivities from the live stream while at work. I miss Welly so I'm glad I'll be there for Xmas and see Gollum at the airport and everything :) My dad already bought us tickets to go see the hobbit! So excited too! :D

Wellington certainly turned on good weather and everyone was having a great time. We watched the coverage and press conference with great interest.

You're seeing it in Wellington? Even better!

Aw, have fun! Sylvester being in it is one of the main things I know about it (other than the endlessly amusing thing about Richard Armitage being a dwarf. Sylvester will be taller than him! :lol:).

:-)

[vilakins]

It's so clever how they make people look tall or tiny. Quite a few of the dwarves are actually pretty big people. I love your icon!

[lost_spook]

Yes. I'm just ridiculously amused about Richard Armitage and Sylvester McCoy, though. :-D

And, thanks, it was one of a Silver Nemesis batch I made ages ago - I should do some more Seven icons sometime.

Eeeep, that Gollum is scary!

Such a great cast, I hope the film's a success. I've been enjoying hearing Sylvester McCoy in The Minister of Chance audios. :)

[vilakins]

It's a wonderful cast! There are a lot of local actors I know from the stage or TV in it too.

Hey, did you get a total eclipse there?

[nautile26]

Sadly, we had total cloud. It was only about 60% of totality from Sydney anyway, but there wasn't even any noticeable difference in the light levels it was so cloudy. :(

I watched the live stream from Queensland.

I thought you lived further north, by the sea. I must be thinking of someone else. :-P
