Andy Serkis was rightly praised for his work turning a civil Londoner into a feral version of a hobbit in the Lord of the Rings films, but was the millions of dollars spend capturing his performance really necessary? With the Hobbit just released you can decide for yourself comparing that film to these hysterical images of celebrities turned into Gollums with the magic of computer graphics as opposed to a corrupting enchanted ring. Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and Rhianna may be sex symbols but the look of a hobbit doesn't suit them. Hollywood.com created the images of celebrities with 'Gollum Eye' in celebration of the Hobbit's release. The bizarre portraits are made using face morphing software, which can take two separate images and find the midpoint between them. Director Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning series of epic films based on the works of J.R.R. Tolkien were huge critical and financial successes. The new film, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, is already a smash having broken two US records at the box office to become the highest grossing Christmas movie of all time. Peter Jackson's adaption of JRR Tolkien's classic novel kicked off with takings of $37.5 million - the biggest December Friday opener in domestic history. Though so far a box office success, the new film has been given a middling reception by critics with some criticizing the film for drawing out a fairly slim story better suited for single film than an entire trilogy. The film then took $28.1 million on Saturday to claim the record of the largest December weekend at the American ticket office, even without Sunday's takings being calculated. Warner Brothers are predicting the movie could earn over $85 million in the U.S. for the whole weekend.
