Open casting call for 'The Hobbit: There and Back Again' extras in Wellington, NZ

"The Hobbit: There and Back Again" hits theaters on December 13, 2013.

AB Media Publishing, LLC

New Line Cinema in association with Warner Bros. Pictures are currently filming "The Hobbit: There and Back Again" in the Wellington, New Zealand area through late March, 2012. The casting directors are holding an open casting call for folks who live within reasonable driving distance of Wellington and would like to appear in the film as paid background performers. Shooting will take place at Stone Street Studios and various locations around Wellington.

"The Hobbit: There and Back Again" is the second film in a two part epic fantasy prequel to "The Lord of the Rings" film trilogy. The title of the first part is "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey" and shooting has taken place back-to-back on both films starting back in March 21, 2011. In July 2011, production moved to Pinewood Studios in Buckinghamshire, England and then returned to New Zealand in August, 2011.

Three-time Academy Award winning filmmaker Peter Jackson is directing "The Hobbit" films from an adapted screenplay written by himself along with Fran Walsh, Philippa Boyens, and Guillermo del Toro. The film is based on the 1937 novel of the same name by J.R.R. Tolkien. Jackson is shooting the films using Red Digital Cinema Camera Company's Epic camera in 3-D at 48 frames per second, rather than the usual 24 frames per second, resulting in hugely enhanced clarity, smoothness, and a much more lifelike movie.

Peter Jackson is also producing "The Hobbit" films under the banner of his production company WingNut Films, along with his wife Fran Walsh and Carolynne Cunningham. Walsh has contributed to all of Jackson's films with the exception of his first feature "Bad Taste". Zane Weiner, who served as unit production manager on all three of the "The Lord of the Rings" trilogy films, is executive producing "The Hobbit" films along with Ken Kamins. Kamis is Peter Jackson's manager.

Starring in "The Hobbit" are some amazing actors. English film, television, and theatre actor Benedict Cumberbatch plays Smaug; One of the most beautiful and talented actresses in the world, Golden Globe nominated Evangeline Lilly plays Tauriel; Martin Freeman plays the lead role of Bilbo Baggins; Elijah Wood as Frodo Baggins. Other huge stars include Academy Award winner Cate Blanchett, Andy Serkis, Ian McKellen, Hugo Weaving, and Orlando Bloom.

Story:

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 Giant Spiders, Shapeshifters 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 guile 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.
