From ifmagazine.com: While sitting on the panel at San Diego Comic Con for 9, Elijah Wood was asked about THE HOBBIT. While he says he didn’t have any idea if he is involved in the production. A visit to the set was not something he was missing out on.
“I definitely planning on visiting [set of THE HOBBIT]. Because there are so many people from LORD OF THE RINGS that are going to be a part of it,” Wood says. “While I am not a part of it, I will go down to see them.

For those of you who may not be aware, each year at Comic-Con, collectible companies release specific items just for folks attending the show. This year, Sideshow is releasing seven exclusives, one of which is a special Lord of the Rings item titled ‘Mount Doom’ – The Sam and Frodo Diorama. While we only have a teaser pic (see right) – one can deduce the diorama will feature one of the most dramatic sequences in Return of the King, when Sam struggles to carry Frodo up the side of Mount Doom. If you are attending Comic-Con, you’ll need to participate in Sideshow’s Priority Pre-Order on May 21st to snag one of these collectibles. If you are NOT attending Comic-Con, you will have a shot of approximately 10% of the edition size on May 22nd. For complete details, check out SideshowCollectibles.com. [Comic-Con Exclusives]
During my association with TheOneRing.net I have often felt very fortunate to know great people and be in great places. Sometimes I have been lucky enough to have my camera along.
Out of that vast TORn photo library that includes digital images, and old scratched negitives, I put a few images together with some music from Arjan Kiel, (with thanks to fan film ‘Born of Hope,’) to pay tribute to the whole community of TheOneRing.net.
