We’re done! Thanks to everyone who came along!
Without a doubt, it’s been a huge week and a bit for Hobbit movie news. So this weekend (meaning tomorrow!), we’re going to do a special movie rumour round-up in The Hall of Fire.
We’ve just had Peter Jackson’s latest production diary exhorting us about the wild beauties of the 3D technology he’s using this time round.
We’ve had report one and report two from “Hobbiton” from Quint at AICN. Luke Evans talking about Bard the Bowman. Benedict Cumberbatch on playing Smaug. And rumours of a new set location in Wharepapa on the North Island.
And, of course, we’ve had the massive stir that our South Island mystery set pictures and video (now, sadly, removed) reports caused.
ALL THESE LINKS ABOVE HAVE SOME LEVEL OF SPOILERS
So join us tomorrow (Saturday November 5 at 6pm EDT) in the Hall of Fire on our own chat server when we’ll pull apart all these things and much, and talk movie rumours and news!

Nine Rings he gave to Mortal Men, proud and great, and so ensnared them. Long ago they fell under the dominion of the One, and they became Ringwraiths, shadows under his great Shadow, his most terrible servants.
Middle Earth abounds in character quaint and creepy; Gollum, Shelob, trolls and orcs, but arguably none inspire quite the same shivers and chills as the Nazgul.
Everyone assumes Ringwraiths were bad from the word “go” (or “Ring”, as the case may be). Why is there little mention of their sad tales, or of their history? A trail of dropped remarks and an ounce of common sense will help us discover something which has long been shrouded in mists — the story of the Nazgul, and how they entered into bondage to the Dark One.

So, we’re about to begin our exploration of chapter 14 of The Hobbit in Hall of Fire. Come along, bring your thoughts and join the discussion!
We’re done — thanks to everyone who joined in!
Tomorrow, Hall of Fire returns to The Hobbit as we delve into the events of Chapter 14 — “Fire and Water”.
“The dragon is coming or I am a fool!” he cried. “Cut the bridges! To arms! To arms!”
Thus the people of the lake-town, Esgaroth, are warned of their approaching doom. As Smaug vents his fury on these innocent villagers, it seems that nothing can save them from the Chiefest and Greatest of Calamities. But things are never quite as bad as they seem… Continue reading “Hall of Fire tomorrow: The Hobbit ch 14!”
