Elven sends along a transcription from the John Key interview with Peter Jackson.
PM John Key: We have somebody who is not just world famous in New Zealand – not just world famous in our country, but right around the planet – he is a remarkable man and he is working with a lot of very small people at the moment – he is of course, Sir Peter Jackson. And I’m delighted to welcome him onto the show this afternoon – Sir Peter…

Andrew writes: According to this article (posted on September 29th), Ian McKellen is back in New Zealand, and will have another break in December.
“Sir Ian, who has now returned to New Zealand to continue filming both parts of The Hobbit, said: “I have got a break at Christmas and I wasn’t going to come home but I think I will now I have the pub. I really enjoy just sitting here in the evening. In New Zealand I will be based in Wellington but we are on location up and down the country shooting both films at the same time.”
Elrond’s about to start asking the hard questions in Hall of Fire. Come join the fun!
We’re done! Hope everyone who joined in had a great time. Next weekend: back to The Hobbit!
This week marks the HUGE release of LOTRO’s Rise of Isengard, available now at LOTRO.com/Isengard. Elijah Wood and Dominic Monaghan fight to the death in pink boxing gloves at Fantasy Fest and more hobbits are being cast in NZ.
After our abortive trivia challenge of a fortnight ago (our trivia-master Elrond took a fall on the dangerous journey from #rivendell to #thehalloffire), we’re going to see if we can make it work this time!
So, do you know the difference between a Balcoth and a Brandybuck? All the seven names for the Noldorin stronghold of Gondolin? How many great rings of power there were in total?
If you’re up for the challenge, our trivia master Elrond will be taking control of this weekend’s Hall of Fire session. Elrond knows more than 750 questions — some easy, some not so easy! So join us tomorrow (Saturday October 1) from 6pm EDT in #thehalloffire on our IRC server (irc.theonering.net) where we’ll be indulging in a fun battle of wits where that will test your Tolkien geekery to the limit!
