Peter Jackson on Hobbit critics NEWS
Director Peter Jackson has said he was unsurprised by the mixed reception he received for the short footage from his long-awaited film The Hobbit.
Shown at CinemaCon in Las Vegas last week, Peter Jackson's 10 minutes of unfinished footage was slated by critics as uncinematic and some even stated it 'looked like a made-for-TV movie'.
'It wasn't particularly surprising because it is something new,' Jackson told the Hollywood Reporter.
'Ultimately, it is different in a positive way, especially for 3D,' he added.
The 3D film has been shot at a higher rate of frames per second than the industry standard of 24 frames. At 48 frames per second, The Hobbit is double the rate.
Jackson told the Hollywood Reporter he did not plan to shoot the trailer for the film using the same 3D frame per second rate: ''The 48 frames is something you should experience with the entire film. A two-and-a-half minute trailer isn't enough time to adjust to the immersive quality.'
Jackson believes the new filming technique will take time for viewers to get used to: 'we have to find ways to make it more vibrant, more immersive - something that will encourage people to come back to the theatres for that experience.'
The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is the first instalment of Jackson's two part screen adaptation of JRR Tolkein's classic novel.
The Hobbit: There and Back was shot back to back against the first chapter and will be released in cinemas December 2013. The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey's release date is 14th December 2012.
