“They were by far the most powerful of his servants, and the most suitable for such a mission, since they were entirely enslaved to their Nine Rings, which he now himself held.”
— Unfinished Tales, p. 338
One of Sauron’s most powerful servants is the seventh statue from Sideshow’s growing and spectacular The Lord of the Rings statue line. This awesome statue captures of one the darker characters in the whole trilogy and illustrates one of a key scene: the moment when the Witch King stabs Frodo one Weathertop.
This statue is crafted to show the point-of-view of anyone other than Frodo (Frodo sees something very different because he is wearing the Ring.) Sideshow is expected to release the other half of this scene early next year. Continue reading “Collecting The Precious: Sideshow Collectibles Ringwraith statue review”
With the publication of “The Hobbit,” in its 75th Anniversary year and Bilbo’s and Frodo’s birthday party events coming up on September 22, declared “Hobbit Day” by the American Tolkien Society in 1978, filmmaker Peter Jackson posted a video on Facebook today explaining the the film community will also join in the celebration with “Tolkien Week.”
Jackson verbally teased a new trailer for the first of his trio of Hobbit films based on the books by J.R.R. Tolkien. His announced release date for the trailer of the 19th means that it will likely be online before it hits theaters on the 21st, attached to movies rolling out that day. Start saving your bandwidth now. You can see Jackson’s video on his facebook page and on TheOneRing’s. And, if you are near the L.A. area, or can arrange to be, TORn is celebrating its 10th annual Hobbit Baggins Birthday Bash.
New York ComicCon is coming up next month, and TORn will be there! Having had such a great time with folks last year, we’ll be hosting a party again this year – and we hope that you can join us! More details will follow, but meanwhile, put Thursday 11th October, 8pm, in your calendar – and get ready to eat, drink and be the hobbit of your choice in the Big Apple! Hope to see you!
Warner Bros. has released a new site specializing in the tastes of Middle-earth. Featuring such categories as sweets & treats, main courses and breakfast foods, it also provides a way for users to submit recipes. Steven Hunter’s Bombur is featured as the face of Middle-earth culinary delights and his cookbook is a linked tab as well. That may even be a clue into the character but more than that, it is a sign that WB wants to have a little fun with its December tent-pole movie.
The official description says:
Recipes From Middle-earth
Fellow travelers, we welcome you to sample this collection of recipes for authentic Middle-earth cuisine cultivated by the Dwarf Company’s heartiest appetite. Give each dish a rating, and submit your own recipes for others to enjoy and appraise too!

Ringer Spy Stratos has sent us some exciting news concerning the upcoming trailer for The Hobbit.
It seems the trailer will feature a piece from Immediate Music’s album QUANTUM, described by them as…
“… our edgiest and most modern Live Orchestra and Choir release yet… a combination of Epic Action and Drama making a grand debut as our most unique hybrid orchestral album for film trailers and advertising… loaded with layers of ground breaking sound design accompanied by dark, edgy guitar melodies combined with our signature sound of lush cyclical strings, huge swelling brass, and massive booming drums.”
From Immediate Music’s news release:
We can’t wait for the debut of the second Hobbit trailer! We can confirm that one of our Epic Dramatic Adventure pieces from Quantum will be featured in the upcoming trailer for Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. This classic will follow Bilbo Baggins as he journeys to the Lonely Mountain with a vigorous group of Dwarves. We are thrilled to be a part of Warner’s marketing campaign for this series.
So while it seems highly unlikely that the trailer will feature a Howard Shore composition, it looks like we can expect some breathtaking music nonetheless.
