Director Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is just one week away, which means more TV Spots, pictures, and featurettes will be making their way online than ever before. One such featurette premiered today, featuring some great new interviews with the cast and crew of the film, as well as some new never-before-seen footage that fans are sure to go nuts over (I know I did). It may be even better than any of Jackson’s previous production video blogs, which is saying a lot.  Hit the jump to watch!
