We’re just a day away! Tomorrow The Fellowship of the Ring Extended Edition will be in theaters nationwide. If you have not already picked up tickets, make sure you do so ASAP. [Buy Tickets] My local theater sold out as of last Thursday, but hopefully there are still some seats at your theater.

Make sure you arrive at least 30 minutes ahead of time as rumor has it there will be some great LOTR themed content, a special message from Peter Jackson from The Hobbit set, and you might just see something completely unexpected!

After you get home tomorrow night, if you want to share your thoughts and pictures, please do not hesitate to email us at spymaster@theonering.net. We’ll pick as many as we can to post, but make sure to include your theater name and location.

We can also alert you of a BIG event taking place in Los Angeles on June 27th. If you live in LA, you may want to consider taking the day off, as this event will have loads of activities, concluding in the largest giveaway a LOTR fan could ask for! Intrigued? Details are coming soon!

And, last but not least, don’t forget to snag Extended Editions on Blu-ray June 28th! If you purchase it directly through WBShop.com you’ll get a bonus set of 5×7 posters with your purchase. [WBshop.com] [Buy Tickets]

Sir Ian McKellen has earlier today put up a new blog post titled “Congratulations, dear Watson” on his personal blog “Notes From Imladris” chronicling his journey filming The Hobbit.

Those following TORn will recall our coverage from last week of Martin Freeman letting slip the news that Benedict Cumberbatch has landed a role in the films.

McKellen’s post today confirms Freeman’s statement, and also goes a bit further with a little teaser of the potential role Cumberbatch has been cast in.

Now, what can he [Benedict Cumberbatch] be playing in The Hobbit?

Philippa Boyens showed me a snippet of his screen-test, played in close-up into the camera.  It was electrifying, vocally and facially.  Yes, what can he be playing?

So for now the question remains… what role has Cumberbatch been cast in? As always, our message boards are rife with speculation, and you’re welcome to join in.

Peter Jackson has started answering fan-submitted questions on his official Facebook page, and the first answer is a big one! Since learning there would be two films, most of us here at TheOneRing.net were dreaming we’d get to see The White Council and the attack on Dol Guldur. Well, as it turns out, we will! Not to take anything away from PJ’s official post, we won’t reveal more here in this article. (including the exclusive picture of The White Council). You’ll have to jump over to Facebook and see it for yourself. And don’t forget to ‘like’ TheOneRing.net on Facebook to get all the latest Hobbit updates! [PJ’s Answer] [TheOneRing.net on Facebook]

Direct from Peter Jackson…

Ten years ago, Orlando Bloom created an iconic character with his portrayal of Legolas. I’m excited to announce today that we’ll be revisiting Middle Earth with him once more. I’m thrilled to be working with Orlando again. Funny thing is, I look older—and he doesn’t! I guess that’s why he makes such a wonderful elf.
