Our latest episode of ‘TheOneRing.net Radio Show’ (we need a better title) is now online and available for listening! Our guest was none other than Sir Ian McKellen, and boy did he dish out on The Hobbit! Along with telling us details about reading the script a little while back, he teased us about his forbidden knowledge of events, new and returning character and more! Check out the latest episode using the player above, or click here.

Our second guest, the great Andy Serkis, was a victim of technical difficulties and we were not able to have him on the air live. What we did record the interview and will have a transcript online this week!

Trying to make Comic-Con a bit more Tolkien-centric, and to have a little extra fun and the world’s biggest celebration of pop-culture, we (TheOneRing.net) brought in the crowds at Comic Con in San Diego for a fun competition. With no space at the convention to call our own, we went to Weta for an assist and they provided a perfect setting to hold a “Voice of Gollum,” contest.

A collection of fun-loving convention attendees and some awesome Gollum impersonators stepped in front of the Slaveboy Films’ cameras and impressed TORn, Weta and everybody stopping to look on. We asked Weta to choose the best entries, and the guys at Slaveboy Films have put together a fantastic video of the Top Ten.

Weta has also agreed to donate 20 Weta Dollars (worth US$20 dollars) to each of the Top Ten entries. Now it’s your turn. Weta are going to assist TORn with the voting. Out of these 10 masterful impersonators, only one can be said to possess the true voice of Gollum and therefore be allowed to take home a swag-bag of extra goodies; a TORn T-shirt, a Weta T-shirt, 30 more Weta Dollars, a Weta keyring and a Lord of the Rings Location Guide book. Who is it going to be? Vote Today!
