==Trivia==
# Viggo Mortensen declined to reprise his role as Aragorn, citing that Aragorn wasn't in the book.
# Richard Armitage has said that his first experience acting on stage was playing an elf in a theatrical production of The Hobbit.
# There was no doubt that Sir Ian McKellen would reprise his role as Gandalf. Peter Jackson said to him, "You must play Gandalf, whether I direct it or not."
# Sir Ian Holm and Sir Christopher Lee filmed their scenes at London's Pinewood Studios, because health concerns left them uncomfortable with flying to New Zealand.
# Peter Jackson claims that when he called Sir Christopher Lee to invite him to the premiere of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey (2012), Lee responded, intimidatingly, "Am I still in the movie?" Lee had originally been slated to appear in The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003), but his scenes were cut from the theatrical release, which caused the actor and director to have a brief falling out.
# Daniel Radcliffe, Shia LaBeouf, James McAvoy, Erryn Arkin, and Tobey Maguire were considered for the role of Bilbo Baggins. However, Peter Jackson has said that his first choice was always Martin Freeman. Freeman was initially unable to accept the role, due to scheduling conflicts with Sherlock (2010), but Jackson re-worked the entire shooting schedule for the trilogy to accommodate him.
