Happy New Year 2015Welcome to our collection of TORn’s hottest topics for the past year.  We’ve collected some of 2014’s most popular posts on our 10 Message Boards.  You’ll be surprised at what captured the attention and imagination of our 11,500+ members.  Come and have a look back at what has kept us busy as we impatiently awaited the release of The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies.  We actually did manage to talk about many fascinating things, besides The Hobbit.  So just follow the links to our collection of popular discussions in 2014.  Continue to watch this space as every weekend we spotlight the buzz on TORn’s Message Boards.  Everyone is welcome, so come on in and join the fun!

We ran a simple lottery for a nifty little prize in the form of a Menu from last year’s One Dragon, One Party signed by several cast members. The contest is now over and we have ourselves a very surprised and happy fan in Texas by the name of Susan H. The nice thing is, she does not have to wait to see if the campaign will be successful, she will be receiving this signed item in the next few days.

We have other really cool items already in the campaign, as well as new ones coming up to add to the campaign as either Perks for specific pledge levels, or other Lottery prizes. We may even do something extra special just for the Professor’s Birthday this weekend. And if you are unable to join us at the party, please don’t despair, we have now added a perk specifically for a Live Stream from the party.

Billy Boyd The Last Goodbye About a minute into this NPR interview, Billy Boyd and fellow Beecake guitarist Billy Johnston perform a wonderful acoustic rendition of The Last Goodbye.

Boyd also spoke extensively with NPR’s Rachel Martin about the process behind the closing song for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies, as well as The Edge of Night from Return of the King. Continue reading “Billy Boyd performs The Last Goodbye live, in-studio on NPR”

More from the press junket for The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies World Premiere in London! This time it’s three elves who were chatting with staffer greendragon – discussing topics such as what exactly is the quality an actor playing an elf has to find, and how to let go and just trust the creative but chaotic genius of Peter Jackson!

Off camera, all three were invited to join us at The One Last Party. They were excited to party with fans – Evangeline Lilly even said that, although that is her one week off in the year, she might break into her down time to be with us! Don’t forget, if you pledge to the crowdfunding campaign before 12noon EST on Dec 31st, you could win a cool prize! Full details here.
