Finally, the Hobbit begins filming today

After many delays, which include union problems, MGM jacking off, Peter Jackson getting ulcer surgery, and the loss of Guillermo del Toro, the movie prequel to Lord of the Rings, finally gets underway.  And to prove it, and confirmed from Jackson's own Facebook page, he's placed 2 pics on set.  Peter, looks wonderful, and revving up to finally get this movie underway.  I still place blame mainly on MGM's reluctance, of starting this movie, by mid last year.  And from there, the movie, had its serious downward spiral to oblivion, from a movie that "could have been".....and the problems that surged.....UNIONS bitching, as usual, the great Guillermo del Toro quitting, after working on the project for nearly 2 years, and PJ's unfortunate ulcer surgery in January.  But he kept at it....all the problems were resolved rather well, and now, 10 months after this project should have started, has gained momentum.

Here are the pics, from PJ's own FB page.  They were placed, only to prove to people, that the LOTR prequel, is gaining speed, and it will be done.:
