学文网《指环王》的粉丝们注意了：由彼得·杰克逊操刀的前传——《霍比特人》第一部在本月就要上映了！故事发生在《指环王》三部曲之前的六十年左右，讲述了弗罗多的叔叔——“霍比特人”比尔博·巴金斯（马丁·弗瑞曼饰）的冒险历程。（由于剧情复杂，人物繁多，就不在这里剧透了。）
该片的主要演员有伊安·麦克莱恩（饰甘道夫）、马丁·弗瑞曼（饰比尔博·巴金斯）和理查德·阿米塔格（饰索林·橡木盾）。《指环王》中的很多演员都会回归，包括安迪·瑟金斯（“咕噜姆”）、雨果·维文（半精灵爱隆）、凯特·布兰切特（精灵女王凯兰崔尔）、伊利亚·伍德（矮人弗罗多）和奥兰多·布鲁姆（神箭手莱戈拉斯）等。
Everything about Peter Jackson’s adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved fantasy is huge—with the exception of the hobbit himself and the 13 dwarves[矮人] who accompany[陪伴] him on a quest to reclaim[要求归还] a dragon’s treasure. The months of shooting in New Zealand, the expectations of millions of moviegoers, the technology required to bring the story to life—all of it is on a scale that’s hard to comprehend[理解]. “There are days when you go, ‘Is this really going to be a film?’” says Martin Freeman, who plays hobbit hero Bilbo Baggins. “Sometimes it doesn’t even feel like a film set[布景]. It feels like you’re in NASA.” Even Jackson can feel nervous. “On the first day, it’s like you’re standing looking up at the summit[顶点] of a mountain, thinking, ‘How the hell are we ever going to get up there?’ ” he says. And that was before he decided to add a third film to his intended two-part saga[传奇].
While fans have deep faith in Jackson given his success with the Lord of the Rings trilogy[三部曲], there’s uncertainty about how he’ll translate Tolkien’s fable into a reported $500 million-plus trilogy.“We know we’re making a series of films that people really want to see,” says Ian McKellen, who returns as the wizard Gandalf. “But it’s a big responsibility because you don’t want to let them down.”
Co-producer and co-writer Philippa Boyens says they need not worry. “There is no one way to tell these stories—there are multiple[多样的] ways,” she says. “People have said, ‘Are you worried about what the fans are going to think?’ And I go, ‘Well, we are fans!’” Huge ones, in fact.
彼得·杰克逊这次改编J·R·R·托尔金备受喜爱的奇幻故事，与这次改编有关的一切都规模庞大——除了霍比特人和13个陪他一起去夺回龙之宝藏的矮人族的身高以外。在新西兰数个月的拍摄、百万影迷的期待、让故事栩栩如生所需的技术——所有这一切的规模都是空前的。“有时候你会想：‘这真的会变成一部电影吗？’”饰演主角霍比特人比尔博·巴金斯的马丁·弗瑞曼如是说。“有时你甚至觉得自己所处的不是电影片场，而是美国国家航空航天局。”就连杰克逊也感到紧张。“头一天，那感觉就像遥望一座山的山顶，然后在想：‘我们有什么能耐走到那里呢？’”他说。而那还是在他决定把原来的两部曲变成三部曲之前的想法呢。
鉴于杰克逊之前成功地把《指环王》三部曲搬上大屏幕，粉丝们表现得信心十足，然而我们仍然不确定他将如何把托尔金的寓言故事变成据说耗资5亿美元的三部前传。“我们知道我们正在制作一部万众期待的电影，”继续扮演巫师甘道夫的伊安·麦克莱恩说。“而这责任重大，因为你不想令影迷失望。”
联合制片人兼联合编剧菲莉帕·博恩斯则认为大家不必担心。“讲述这些故事不止一种方式，而是有多种方式，”她说。“人们曾经问道：‘你担心粉丝们会怎么想吗？’我就回答：我们就是粉丝啊！’”事实上，这些电影制作者都是骨灰级的粉丝呢。
