"L'Ecran Fantastique" December interview with Richard Armitage [Translation included]

[lillianschild]

Well, I've been working over the weekend translating this wonderfully insightful interview with Richard where he talks about his preparation to play Thorin and the experience of shooting  The Hobbit in New Zealand for eighteen months.

I've shared this in instalments on several RA forums, but now you can find it in full form here and/or on

Thanks for the translation. The interview gave a closer look into Thorin, dwarves, and the Tolkien world. Can't wait to see The Hobbit at the movies. :)

Richard's very articulate and informative in his interviews, particularly when the interviewer knows what he's doing.

[rjforap]

Oh I absolutely agree.

It's decisively the best interview with Richard promoting The Hobbit I've come across so far.

It's interesting to gather titbits along the way. And Richard's answers always go beyond the typical clichéd responses, don't they?
