NEW ZEALAND - Filming for the J.R.R. Tolkien-classic, The Hobbit
, is underway at Stone Street Studios in Wellington, New Zealand after months of setbacks that delayed production. Director Peter Jackson, who has directed all three films in the trilogy, made the announcement over Facebook on Sunday. The first installment of the Warner Bros. and New Line Production film is not expected to be released until December 2012, while the second part is slated for release in 2013. Tolkien, a devout Catholic, wrote The Lord of the Rings
series in part to explore his religious faith but chose not to do so in an explicit way but rather to highlight moral themes and philosophies. [link]
