New Sculpture for THE HOBBIT Set Up in New Zealand

Photos Movie The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey about 11 years agoby Joey Paur

Last month, a giant scupture of Gollum was set up in the New Zealand Airport to promote The Hobbit, then Air New Zealand released a really awesome Hobbit themed safety video. Now The Embassy Theater in downtown Wellington has erected a giant statue of Gandalf standing in front of Bilbo's home. The reason for the statue is that the theater will be hosting the world premiere of Peter Jackson's The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey on November 28th! Damn, I wish I could be there for it! The movie opens up for the rest of us on December 14th, 2012.

Check out more of the photos below from The Embassy Theater's Facebook page:
