First Magazine Cover For ‘The Hobbit’ Featuring Ian McKellen’s Gandalf & Martin Freeman’s Bilbo Baggins
The good folks at Empire have unveiled their new Hobbit magazine cover featuring younger versions of Gandalf the Grey (Ian McKellen) and Bilbo Baggins (Martin Freeman). It’s quite uncommon for a movie to garner a magazine cover practically a year and a half away from release, that being said very few movies have been as hotly anticipated as Peter Jackson’s upcoming two-part feature film adaptation of “The Hobbit”!
This cover just adds to my fiendish excitement for both ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,’ and ‘The Hobbit: There and Back Again.’ Both films are set in Middle-earth 60 years before J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings,” which Jackson and his filmmaking team brought to the big screen in the blockbuster trilogy that culminated with the Oscar®-winning “The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King.” ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,’ has been pencilled in for a December 14th, 2012 release date. ‘The Hobbit: There and Back Again’ will hit cinemas December 13th, 2013. The latest issue of Empire hits stands June 30th.
