It’s a little last minute, but considering Peter Jackson decided that Comic-con week would be a good time to put out a new production diary, we’ve decided that we really ought to have another rumour and speculation chat in the Hall of Fire.
So join us tomorrow, Saturday July 23 at 6pm EDT when we’ll pull apart Jackson’s latest offerings — the scenes in the Trollshaws, Gollum’s snippets of dialogue in the cave, Galadriel and Elrond, plus much more, and talk about what they mean for the movie!

It’s time for our monthly discussion of the latest Hobbit movie news and rumours again in the Hall of Fire! And there’s a heap to get our teeth into — 12 dwarf portraits and their histories (are they accurate?), the recent production diary, Elijah Wood’s “flash forward” and now some vague hints that there’s some shooting going on in London at the moment! We’re about to begin! Come along and join the chat!
We’re done! Thanks to everyone who came along and made it such a great chat!

It’s time to get our hands dirty with the latest Hobbit movie news and rumours again in the Hall of Fire!
There’s been a huge amount coming out over the past couple of weeks with the conclusion of the first block of shooting. Although script and plot details are being kept predictably close by the creative team, we do have a new production diary to analyse! What are your thoughts on the sets that we’ve seen? Where might they be? What scenes might have been being shot so far?
We’ve also had a rash of portrait photos of some of Thorin’s company of dwarves. What are your thoughts of how they look? Too “dark”? To hot? Just right? And what of the bios that have been published with each? What can we glean from poring through them? Continue reading “Movie rumours round-up this weekend in the Hall of Fire!”

Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins. Only 3 feet tall.
Bilbo. Bilbo Baggins. Bravest little hobbit of them all.
Having traumatised you all with Leonard Nimoy’s atrocious verse, this weekend Hall of Fire will be looking at the many different facets of Bilbo Baggins. From the respectable and all-too-comfortable Hobbit we meet at the beginning of that self-same book, to the clever, brave individual who faces down both Smaug and Thorin Oakenshield at the end of the Quest for Erebor, what is Bilbo’s essential character?
Reluctant burglar, ring finder, spider tamer, dragon taunter, barrel rider, author, translator and historian, what makes him tick?
What makes him different from, say, Frodo or Sam? Is his essential character, in fact, closer to the carefree attitude of Pippin and Merry?
Join us tomorrow (Saturday July 2 at 6pm EDT) in #thehalloffire on irc.theonering.net when we’ll discuss these questions and many others as we look at “the bravest little Hobbit of them all”. Continue reading “Hall of Fire this weekend: Bilbo Baggins!”
