So, all that exciting and thought-provoking news we’ve had over the last week and a bit? We’re about to get down and start pulling it all to pieces in The Hall of Fire right now! So join us on our chat server as we do I semi-regular Hobbit movie rumour round-up!

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!
