From Academy Award®-winning filmmaker Peter Jackson comes “The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey,” the first of a trilogy of films adapting the enduringly popular masterpiece The Hobbit, by J.R.R. Tolkien.

The three films tell a continuous story set in Middle-earth 60 years before “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 adventure follows the journey of title character Bilbo Baggins, who is swept into an epic 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 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 ingenuity and courage that surprise even him, he also gains possession of Gollum’s “precious” ring that holds unexpected and useful qualities… A simple, gold ring that is tied to the fate of all Middle-earth in ways Bilbo cannot begin to know.

Love looking at the concept art. I want to view so much more! Cause if the special features on the original extended editions of The Lord of the Rings trilogy are anything to judge by, there will be a plethora of more concept art for these three Hobbit films.

either of these designs would have been better for Radagast than the birdshit design they went with.

I've met Paul. He's a cool guy and an excellent artist. He started on the Narnia movies.

As a fan of the movie, I admit that a lot of the concept art is miles above what they decided to go with. Radagast in the first picture looks great. Thorin with the braided beard looks great too.

I love the second Radagast pic, that would have been cool to see on screen.

As much as I like the final choice for Thorin, I can't help but wish they would've used the fuller bearded version on the left.
