It appears that at least for the next few weeks, all advance purchases of The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey movie tickets on Fandango will earn purchasers a free song download. The song will be Howard Shore’s “The Adventure Begins” and once you make your purchase, they will be sending you an electronic coupon to download the song. Every transaction will trigger this free download, until November 30. So buy early, and collect your song. And make sure you jump on our Message boards (TORn Moots) to talk about what theater you will be going to and what format you will be seeing, and most importantly, will you be in costume. Scan our Line Party pages, find one to join, or create one of your own.

If you haven’t heard Howard Shore’s ‘Radagast The Brown’ yet, you’re missing out. I can only urge you to go and have a listen. Some people have described the leitmotif (I spelled it right this time) as Slavic in nature, or rustic. Others discern hints Hans Zimmer’s work on the TV series Sherlock. Here at TORn, a few of us have been listening to the track pretty closely, and deciphering what makes it tick. Continue reading “More thoughts on ‘Radagast The Brown’”
Ringer TheHutt stumbled across some very cool behind-the-scenes footage from Bag End that has been converted to animated gifs. They’re labelled under “Denny’s”, which makes me wonder whether they could be some featurettes associated with the Denny’s license. The Bag End Unexpected Party looks like a real knees-up! And Bilbo looks more than a little intimidated by Dwalin especially! Spoiler warning of course! Continue reading “Behind the scenes at Bag End!”
It is November 7 and in a few short hours, tickets will be on sale for most of the theaters in the US and Canada that will be showing The Hobbit. This will include many of the Regal and AMC theaters we’ve recently reported on that will screen the film in 48fps. The Trilogy screenings the weekend before The Hobbit opens are also on sale today. Before you go and buy tickets to see The Hobbit, take a look at our Line Party page and see if there is one near you. And if there is no existing Line Party near you, feel free to start one at whichever theater you buy your tickets at. Right now, there are some 40+ Line Parties, including a party in Bulgaria, Curucao, Mexico, Helsinki and Auckland, as well as across the US. Hey Canada and Australia, whats up with NO Line Parties? TORn staffers are leading parties in Boston, Salt Lake City, Atlanta, Hollywood, Allentown, Irvine and other locations, but anyone can host a Line Party. So click on the Community button, select the Line Party option and get to planning your own little shindig. All you really need to know is the actual address of the theater to get it pinned onto the Line Party map. [Line Parties]
Here’s a lovely new still taken from The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey: The Movie Storybook with Fili, Kili and Bilbo peering over a decaying log at something, or someone, that’s out-of-frame. Spoiler warning as usual! Continue reading “New still from The Movie Storybook”
Ringer Captain Salt reports that there’s some plot spoilers (but not many) contained in The Hobbit movie storybook, and that some of the antagonists of the story may be appearing earlier on than many have expected. If you’re trying to avoid plot spoilers, don’t read on! Continue reading “Tie-in storybook reveals the ‘hunter orcs’”
