I'm excited about this as I am already cast to be an extra. I'm actually a midget so I will be one of the random hobbits walking around in Hobbiton. Just look for the black hobbit. That's me.

Kazakhstan, etc: From what I understand, the two parts are going to be partly the Hobbit, and partly about where Gandalf disappears to during much of the movie, which, as I recall, is in one of the other books of Tolkiens-though I may be wrong. But it follows Gandalf as well as Bilbo and the dwarves.
