Following up on their Desolation of Smaug edition (which comes out tomorrow, June 27th), Empire has revealed some juicy information from PJ et al about the upcoming An Unexpected Journey Extended Edition DVD and Blu-ray. We’re promised ‘some serious Dwarvish disrespect’, as well as ‘more of Hobbiton … more Goblin Town … [and] things in the extended cut that are going to play straight into the second film … like this character Girion, who is defending Dale using black arrows against Smaug …’
You can read Empire Online’s full article here. Back when TORn interviewed Andy Serkis and James Nesbitt last March, they both had hopes for the Extended Edition. Serkis was hoping to see his children as hobbits in the Shire, while Nesbitt was hoping a song he sings at Bag End would make it in to that cut. Sounds like they just might be in luck – but we’ll have to wait and see!
Meanwhile, in the article in Empire’s Desolation of Smaug edition, TORn gets a mention! Peter Jackson is quoted as saying, ‘This will probably get me struck off The One Ring party list but I am enjoying deviating from the book!’ Rest assured PJ – you’ll always have an open invitation from us…

This is the year of Smaug for fans of Middle-earth. We’ve already had a great trailer giving us a solid look at the head of the Dragon and cool teaser poster. Weta Workshop has produced another exclusive again for this years Comic-Con and it follows the Dragon theme I previously mentioned. This year for The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug they will have a T-Shirt with the title of the movie on the front and the eye of Smaug as we see it at the end of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey. The shirt will be limited to only 500 shirts and can be had at their booth 3513B.

Empire’s Desolation of Smaug edition cover is here, and it’s pretty nice. Interesting that it’s all elves, featuring Tauriel (Evangeline Lilly), Thranduil (Lee Pace) and Legolas (Orlando Bloom). Come to think of it, the teaser trailer had a heavy focus on elves too. Some are suggesting that this might indicate we should expect a much larger elven presence in Desolation of Smaug as a result.
Anyway, Empire promises many more insights into this second installment of The Hobbit — all accrued on set in New Zealand. How many? More “than you can shake a wizard’s staff” at apparently. Continue reading “Say hello to Empire’s Desolation of Smaug edition!”

Via Ringer The Hutt: a couple of reports have surfaced from the most recent Supanova event in Sydney (held just this weekend) that the world premiere of The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug may be bound for Moscow. Seems as though Jed Brophy and Aidan Turner have an idea they could be headed for Russia come December, and indicated as much to fans during one of the signing sessions.
[Aidan Turner] signed my Hobbit book whilst we talked about Wellington not having a premiere and he said that the cast might go to Moscow and another city in Europe.
