The Hobbit Getting a Royal Screening

The world premiere for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is still set for November 28th in Wellington, New Zealand but that is no longer the only location that will get an early peak at the film before its official December 14th release date. THR is reporting that the movie will get its London premiere on December 12th at the 65th Royal Film Performance in London where it will be screened by members of the Royal Family (possible the Queen to but that can be hit or miss at best). The screening is for the Cinema and Television Benevolent Fund that to assist in the family's of the UK film and TV industry that are having financial problems. Not other details yet, most of the cast main cast including Martin Freeman (Bilbo), Ian McKellan (Gandalf), Andy Serkis (Gollum) and Benedict Cumberbatch (Smaug, Necromancer) are from Great British so suspect many will show up to the event.
