It’s a little last minute, but considering Peter Jackson decided that Comic-con week would be a good time to put out a new production diary, we’ve decided that we really ought to have another rumour and speculation chat in the Hall of Fire.

So join us tomorrow, Saturday July 23 at 6pm EDT when we’ll pull apart Jackson’s latest offerings — the scenes in the Trollshaws, Gollum’s snippets of dialogue in the cave, Galadriel and Elrond, plus much more, and talk about what they mean for the movie!
