Hobbit in Town
View(s):‘The Hobbit’, a series of three fantasy adventure trilogy directed, co-written and produced by Oscar awarded Peter Jackson based on J. R. R. Tolkien’s fantasy novel The Hobbit (1937) is now being screened at Savoy 3D Cinema Wellawatta.
Revolving around a younger and more reluctant Hobbit, Bilbo Baggins, the film sets out on a “unexpected journey” to the Lonely Mountain with a spirited group of Dwarves to reclaim a their stolen mountain home from a dragon named Smaug.
Enormously popular ‘The Lord of the Rings’ was originally a sequel to the novel, thus the series acts as a prequel to Jackson’s film trilogy.
Bilbo Baggins is swept into a quest to reclaim the lost Dwarf Kingdom of Erebor from the fearsome dragon Smaug. Approached out of the blue by the wizard Gandalf the Grey, Bilbo finds himself joining a company of thirteen dwarves led by the legendary warrior, Thorin Oakenshield.
Their journey will take them into the Wild; through treacherous lands swarming with Goblins and Orcs, deadly Wargs and Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters and Sorcerers. Although their goal lies to the East and the wastelands of the Lonely Mountain first they must escape the goblin tunnels, where Bilbo meets the creature that will change his life forever … Gollum.
Here, alone with Gollum, on the shores of an underground lake, the unassuming Bilbo Baggins not only discovers depths of guile and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s “precious” ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities …
