Total Film Magazine February 2012 The Hobbit Martin Freeman Issue 189 SKU 1537

Original Total Film Magazine – February 2012, Issue 189, featuring a major The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey cover story and an extensive preview of the biggest films scheduled for 2012.

The cover is dominated by Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins, with the magazine advertising an exclusive world-first Bilbo cover and a feature in which Peter Jackson and the team reveal details about The Hobbit. This is a particularly attractive issue for collectors of The Hobbit, Tolkien-related film memorabilia and early promotional material connected with Peter Jackson’s Middle-earth films.

THE HOBBIT: AN UNEXPECTED JOURNEY

The main feature focuses on The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, with Bilbo Baggins taking centre stage on the cover.

The issue dates from the build-up to the film’s original theatrical release and therefore represents an interesting piece of contemporary promotional history from the period when the movie was still highly anticipated.

• Martin Freeman as Bilbo Baggins
• The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey
• A world-first Bilbo cover
• Behind-the-scenes information from Peter Jackson and his team
