On July 29th, 1954 George Allen & Unwin, Ltd. of London published the first part of ‘The Lord of the Rings’ trilogy, ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’.  The first printing was limited to 3000 copies, and only 1500 when it was published in the United States later that year.   Who could have predicted that this little book would go on to become one of the most popular and influential fantasy epics of all time?

Our message boards are already in full celebratory swing, so stop in and join the fun!

Pascal_Yung_-_DeerWith all the excitement over the teaser trailer for The Battle of Five Armies, we shouldn’t forget that the Warner Bros. presentation on The Hobbit at Comic-Con on Saturday started with a montage of shots from the five films so far released. It lasted a few minutes and mixed together shots from The Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit.

Almost all of these were very familiar to all of us fans present in Hall H. Two, however, were new. There was a quick shot of a snow-white stag in a forest and another of Thorin with his bow, obviously trying to shoot it.

My first thought was that these shots must be from the forthcoming extended edition of The Desolation of Smaug. I can’t believe that they would have been included in the montage otherwise. Continue reading “Comic-Con Montage: New Shots from Desolation of Smaug Extended Edition?”
