The Hobbit comes out in theaters December 14, 2012. They are filming in 3D using 48 frame-per-second cameras. Just so everyone knows, the standard frame rate for motion pictures is 24 frames-per-second. This will be the first of two movies, the first based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and the second being taken from notes that Tolkien apparently made for a potential second Hobbit book that never came to fruition.
