On this episode of Hobbit in 5, we talk about the Fellowship of the Ring extended edition screening, Sean Bean is okay after being stabbed with a piece of glass, NZ was rocked again by two earthquakes, and show you some Ringer fan creations! For our character study, we’ll look at Radagast the Brown.
Thanks to our executive producers: John A. Smith, Mark Ernst, Scott Bulger, Tony Borgersen, Bryce Nargi, and Vegard Ovland.
Tina Stevenson, Community Manager for Warinthenorth.com dropped me a line to let me know about this cool event the dev team has cooked up for you guys.
Tina writes: “We’re have a big part of our team sit down from 2-6 PDT today to watch the ‘Fellowship of the Ring: extended edition’ all together. Luckily, being a game studio means we all have tvs, computers, and dvd players right at our desk. We’ll be chatting along on Facebook with a heavy bent of just fans being fans together.
The main reason we set this up is because the theatrical re-release didn’t come to our part of town, so not many of us got to go… I know it is that way for International fans, and a lot of other folks as well.”
Be sure to head on over to their Facebook page for the details…happy viewing!

And then I’ll take a mini vacation in July before returning with another “bookshelf” installment in August.]

Botes is a Wellington director and long-time friend of Peter Jackson who PJ hired to document the making of LOTR – and his only brief was to capture it “warts and all”. Botes’ doco was eclipsed – you could even say suppressed – by the official New Line documentary, and so its inclusion in the Blu-Ray limited edition release is something special. Read More
