The film’s production company, 3Foot7 Ltd, announced today that shooting of the two-movie version of J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic children’s novel will begin on March 21 at Stone Street Studios in Miramar and on location around New Zealand,” reports EW.com. “The Hobbit” is the prequel to “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, which Jackson adapted to great acclaim and blockbuster success.
