We decided to post it again to make sure all hopefuls get a chance to submit for a chance to be in the commercial. Full information is below, don’t miss out!

Weve already seen some fantastic photos of Adam Savage convincingly disguised as a Nazgul for this years’ “Adam Incognito” at Comic-Con. It’s something that he does every year.
Now, here he is in is a very cool behind-the-scenes video where he talks about the costume and walks the convention floor! See just how fast he gets rumbled by the convention attendees!

You undoubtedly remember that Entertainment Weekly published eight new stills from The Hobbit at the beginning of June. Photos of Gandalf at Bag End, Gollum, Galadriel, Martin Freeman as Bilbo, the company of dwarves and more.
Now you can look at and download glorious high-resolution versions (all at least 2,000 pixels wide) courtesy of of Spanish Tolkien website Elanillounico.com. Thanks to El Anillo Unico for the heads-up!
We’ve also re-hosted them over on TORn’s Google-plus for your convenience!

After receiving multiple requests, we are finally making our Comic-Con 2012 ‘OBEY’ shirts available for online purchase. The popularity of this shirt was a surprise to us all! After selling out last Thursday, we begged our shirt producer to rush another 100+ shirts to arrive at Comic-Con by Saturday afternoon. Those sold out just as quickly by Sunday and ultimately left a lot of con-goers empty-handed. So we are happy to offer them to our entire online audience for a limited time. The shirt comes in three colors: Black, Blue and Red. We are also now offering Women’s V-Neck options. Shirts are $20US with flat rate shipping of $5 US and $15 International. In case you were wondering, proceeds from our shirt sales go directly to site expenses and our events. TheOneRing.net is not for profit with a 100% volunteer staff. We regularly donate any excess monies to international literacy charities. Please help support TheOneRing.net and our efforts by snagging yourself a cool shirt! (And yes, our other shirts should be online shortly!) [Place your Order]

So over the last 24 to 48 hours, there’s only been about half a billion articles posted across the interwebs about the Hall H presentation. Then add an equal number of video interviews that Peter Jackson, Philippa Boyens, Martin Freeman, Ian McKellen and Richard Armitage have been doing about The Hobbit.
Talk about feast or famine!
So without further ado, here’s a round-up of the latest ones, and a bit of a summary for many of the articles to help you decide what to read or watch.
Bootnote: big props to everyone who has been sending in links to spymaster at theonering dot net — you’re all ace! And be sure to drop us a line if you think you have a scoop about the production — we’d love to hear from you!
