After many years, TheOneRing.net is returning to Comic-Con! This year we are honored to be presenting a panel of ‘The Hobbit’ films:
Friday, July 25th 10:00-11:00 TheOneRing.net: The Hobbit— Middle Earth returns with the announcement that The Hobbit will be developed into a feature film directed by Guillermo del Toro and produced by Peter Jackson. The world’s largest Tolkien community, TheOneRing.net, takes you behind the scenes of the latest news, announcements, and rumors pertaining to the production of the new film. Chris Pirrotta (TheOneRing.net), Larry Curtis (TheOneRing.net), Cliff Broadway (TheOneRing.net), Kristin Thompson (The Frodo Franchise), and possible special guests present this early look at making The Hobbit happen!

If you have not purchased your tickets for Comic-Con 2008 (July 23-27 2008, San Diego CA), you may want to get a move on! While the four day passes are sold out, they have just started selling single day tickets and they are moving quickly (especially the Saturday Tickets!) Tolkien fans who attend this year will have more than a few panels and places to visit during the event. We may be slightly biased, but we suggest making sure you get to Comic-Con on Friday morning – more about that later! For now, make sure you secure your tickets! [Comic-Con 2008]
