It’s time to talk Hobbit rumours again in the Hall of Fire!

What’s caught your keen eyes and ears over the past few weeks? The 48fps filming annoucement? The teasing first picture of the cave for the key scenes from “Riddles in the Dark”? John Rhys-Davies seemingly closing the door on being involved in the film? Elijah Wood’s cameo? Or was it something you gleaned from Peter Jackson’s production video?

Be sure to join us on Saturday April 23 from 6pm EDT in #thehalloffire on our IRC server and help us dissect all the latest news from the production.
