If Peter Jackson announcing the official start of production hasn't convinced you that "The Hobbit" is actually happening, perhaps some new on-set updates will do the trick.
Everybody's favorite ring-hording cave-dweller, Gollum, is officially back in action. The One Ring scored a series of photographs showing actor Andy Serkis on the New Zealand set of "The Hobbit," dressed head to toe in motion-capture gear as he prepares to return to the tragic "Lord of the Rings" character we all love to hate — though, really, how can anybody hate that disgusting little face?
In related "Hobbit" news, Ian McKellen has once again immersed himself in the world of Gandalf the Grey. On his blog, McKellen wrote at length about physically transforming himself into the warm-hearted wizard once more, a process that includes shaving his facial hair (so that his long, signature beard can adhere to his face more easily) and reconnecting with his familiar grey robes.
