Peter Jackson returns to Middle Earth nearly a decade after the Lord of the Rings trilogy garnered $3 billion and 17 Oscar wins with The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. Ambitious in its attempts to recapture the same grandeur and spectacle, the film is only a shadow of its predecessors as it spreads a thin narrative across a nearly three-hour running time.

Beautifully weaving six stories together, Cloud Atlas examines how humankind is connected through past, present and future, and how one’s life can directly impact another’s life long they’ve passed.

There is no way to do the film version of Cloud Atlas justice in such a short and time-compressed review. This is a movie that spans almost three hours, six interconnecting storylines and enough ambitious storytelling to fill hours of debate and opinion.

A first look at Hugo Weaving’s return as Elrond in The Hobbit has been released.

A couple days ago Director Peter Jackson shared a photo of himself with Hugo Weaving on the set of The Hobbit, despite the fact that an official casting announcement had not been made.

A new picture posted by Hobbit director Peter Jackson on his Facebook page may suggest that another star from the Lord of the Rings will be coming onto this latest project.
