Our staff have been doing a little bit of digging through the various movie tie-in books that have just been released for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies and have come up with a few more nuggets of gold to keep us all thinking.

Even more TV spots! Thankfully, someone has put them all together in a single four-minute youtube vid for easier watching.
There are six 30-second spots and a single 60-second spot called Defiance. One 30-second spot seems to be missing a name but I can’t work out which it is. Continue reading “Watch all seven TV spots for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies”
They’re coming thick and fast now. Following hot on the first TV spot for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies , Warner Bros. has now released the third.

Following hot on the first TV spot for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies just a couple of days ago, Warner Bros. has now released the second.

No more teasers or samples. WaterTower Music has just posted up a full, complete version of Billy Boyd’s The Last Goodbye from the OST for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies so we can finally listen to it in full.
UPDATE: Well, it seems as though someone jumped the gun somewhere. Said song has now disappeared from Youtube. We’re certain it’ll be back soon enough, though. Somewhere. Continue reading “UPDATE: Billy Boyd’s The Last Goodbye”
Now, we can’t say how the confrontation occurred in canon: we know little more than that the White Council put forth its strength, that Saruman played an important role, and that Sauron deliberately withdrew as he had anticipated and planned for the actions of the Wise. Had Sauron, in fact, already fled? It’s a legitimate interpretation of the texts. However, Tolkien’s writings are a lot more informative about when Saruman “left the path of wisdom”. In this feature, Tedoras examines what The Lord of the Rings, Unfinished Tales, and The Silmarillion have to tell us about Saruman’s fall.
