Lord of the Rings, Peter Jackson, The Hobbit, world premiere

The Hobbit countdown is on… it’s 24 days to go until the world premiere in New Zealand. While you wait and prepare to travel to Middle Earth, watch this latest video, courtesy of Air New Zealand.

So, what’s your favourite part?

P.S. Adore the accents!
P.P.S. I’ll take an elf steward any time!
