Here’s a genius idea; rebuild fan frenzy for the long-delayed movie of The Hobbit by releasing regular vlogs from the set. Below is the first, hosted by the director, Peter Jackson.

The production has suffered through changes of director, financial problems at MGM, a New Zealand actors’ guild standoff, followed by Jackson being hospitalized for a perforated ulcer. The vlog goes a long way to restoring faith that filming has actually begun.

The epic will be released as two films, a year apart; the first arrives in December, 2012.
