EDITOR’S LETTER
I ’ll be talking about The Hobbit films until I’m 90,” admits
Martin Freeman ruefully, reflecting on the end of Peter
Jackson’s second epic Tolkien saga. He may be right but
we’re pleased that this month at least he has opened up in STACK
about the making of the concluding installment The Hobbit: The
Battle of the Five Armies, which has just arrived at JB Hi-Fi, along
with a new box set featuring all three Hobbit movies. In the interview,
the affable star marvels over Jackson’s ability to juggle three films in
his head at once and explains why he was both relieved and sad that
the series was over. Elsewhere in the April edition of STACK, Robert
Downey Jr. talks about returning as Iron Man in The Avengers: Age of
Ultron, we profile upcoming DVD blockbusters like Big Hero 6 and
Interstellar, and to celebrate the release of Mortal Kombat X, we’ve
put together two pages of facts about the franchise. And in music,
we chat to expat country star Marlon Williams and hold a snap quiz
with this year’s Taite Music Prize nominees. Enjoy!
