Peter Jackson unsurprised by critics of Hobbit footage
Director Peter Jackson claims to be unsurprised by the mixed reaction to footage from his long-anticipated film The Hobbit earlier this week.
"It wasn't particularly surprising because it is something new," Jackson told the Hollywood Reporter.
But he added: "Ultimately, it is different in a positive way, especially for 3D, especially for epic films."
The 3D film has been shot at a rate of 48 frames per second, compared with the industry standard of 24 frames.
The 10 minutes of unfinished footage, shown at the CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas last week, was criticised as uncinematic - with some detractors claiming it "looked like a made-for-TV movie".
