In the latest The Hobbit production video, Peter Jackson and friends take us on a tour of Stone Street Studios – the enormous fantasy factory in Admit One’s home town of Wellington.

This 14 minute studio tour is not only incredibly interesting but enjoyably lighthearted. Cast and crew get in on the fun as we are reminded of the shear scale of what is being undertaken. Although I’d like to make one correction: the weather isn’t that bad (honest!).

There’s so much to enjoy here: giant stages, flaming forests, roaring rivers, the Stone Street trailer park, and a Billy Connolly cameo. And hey, isn’t that the Oompa Loompa fella from Tim Burton’s Charlie and the Chocolate Factory?

It’s great that Jackson and the principal cast get so involved in these blogs. Top stuff!

Pretty cool hey?
