We’re about to begin our weekly Hall of Fire discussion on the TORn chat server and this session is going to be dedicated to dissecting all the interesting tidbits from Pater Jackson’s latest video diary. (If you’ve been under a rock and missed it, it’s here.) So jump onto the chat via our Mibbit widget just below that works in your browser and join in the discussion!
We’re done folks! Thanks to everyone who came along! However, you can still visit our main chat room here where we’re talking Comic-con stuff!

We will visit Weta’s booth and Sideshow Collectibles to feature the news LOTR items available as well as cool stuff and cool people from everywhere.

Despite all his top-grossing and critically acclaimed movies that fit the genre, appearing at the show had never worked out. So knowing he would show up to talk about The Adventures of Tintin: The Secret of the Unicorn set the popular culture celebration all abuzz. When co-producer Peter Jackson shocked the movie-loving world and showed up Friday morning, the euphoria and applause shook the convention hall to its foundations.

On this episode of Hobbit in 5, we talk about Peter Jackson’s latest production diary videos, show off the new trailer for The Lord of the Rings: War in the North, introduce pictures for The Lord of the Rings Online: Rise of Isengard, look for crew accommodations in Piopio, NZ, and find out what Peter Jackson and Andy Serkis think about Mikael Persbrandt. We’ll also cover Thrain in our character study!
Thanks to our executive producers: Henry Tobin and Danielle Logan
