As Pippin would say, ‘What is going on?!’ On Thursday we reported that Warner Bros. had stated, in a press release, that there would be an extended edition Blu-ray and DVD for The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey later in 2013. Now, Warner Bros. have issued another official statement:
‘In the recently distributed calendar included in the Warner Bros. 90th Anniversary press kit, there was an erroneous mention of an Extended Edition release for The Hobbit film. This product has not been confirmed yet and we apologize for any confusion.’
So it’s officially UNconfirmed. But that doesn’t mean it won’t happen. It’s just not confirmed as happening. Yet. Watch this space…

It seems like new movie posters for The Hobbit: an Unexpected Journey, are coming out of the woodwork lately. This latest, Argentinian poster was revealed recently by Spanish movie poster site Cine1. In it, we see the great eagles soaring above a forest, with Gandalf and Thorin (with weapons drawn) in the foreground. As with many of the ‘new’ posters coming out lately, this one is a scene taken from the Hobbit scroll put out by Warner Bros. in early September. Still, it’s a nice close-up and a nice shot for a poster. Read more…

LEGO® Fans worldwide are being treated to a series of early images of the upcoming ‘The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey‘ LEGO® Playsets. (We are deliberately not including imagery on this post because we are pretty sure they will be asked to remove in hours!) There are a variety of sources for images, but the best come from LEGO Toy Story News’s Flickr Stream. Be warned, one set in particular reveals a previously unannounced ‘change’ to the story. We will describe the sets and a brief attempt to decipher each, but we’d love to hear your own conclusions and theories in our comments. There is also a video available of a very excited LEGO fan quickly going over all of the sets. A small heads up for the video – if you are looking for a clear description and accounting of each set – this isn’t for you. He does seem very excited about mushrooms though! [Flickr Stream] [Video]- MAJOR SPOILERS! (Thanks to Mr. Spielbrick for the heads up!)

There are still shirts left at this time, so snap one up before they’re gone. Read more…

“I’m Glad To Be With You, Samwise Gamgee, Here At The End Of All Things”
In their latest newsletter Sideshow Collectibles announced the next statue in their truly superb The Lord of the Rings line. The two characters joining this line are none other than the ringbearer himself Frodo Baggins, and his good friend Samwise Gamgee. As you can see from the preview image, this statue captures the two hobbits in orc disguise, as they make their way across Mordor to destroy the One Ring. This is the first statue of this line to incorporate two characters from the trilogy, and it also puts us just two hobbits away from finishing off the Fellowship. So make sure you’re ready next Thursday when this amazing statue goes up for Pre-Order!
