This book explores the evolution of audience receptions of Peter
Jackson's Hobbit trilogy (2012-14) as an exemplar of the
contemporary blockbuster event film franchise. Drawing on findings
from a unique cross-cultural and longitudinal study, the authors
argue that processes and imperatives associated with Hollywood
'blockbusterisation' shaped the trilogy's conditions of production,
format, content, and visual aesthetic in ways that left many
viewers progressively disenchanted. The chapters address public and
private prefigurations of the Hobbit trilogy, modes of reception,
new cinematic technologies and the Hobbit hyperreality paradox,
gender representations, adaptation and the transformation of
cinematic desire, and the role of social and cultural location in
shaping audience engagement and response. This book will appeal to
audience researchers, Q methodologists, scholars and students in
film and media studies, Tolkien scholars, and Hobbit fans and
critics alike.
