A Ringer Spy with connections to WETA recently passed along a message suggesting that the Hobbit notation previously reported as appearing on a New Line Cinema schedule, might in fact be related to New Line’s involvement in EA Games’ “The White Council” RPG for XBox. We’re not sure why NL would use the title “The Hobbit” to indicate a game with different subject matter, but we’re continuing to check with our spies as information comes in!
Ashlee & Rachel Scott write: Fans of Sci-Fi and Fantasy began their trek to DragonCon in Atlanta today, ready for a fun filled weekend. Rachel and I were not even in Atlanta for an hour yet when we ran into Kiran Shah at registration. Kiran was Elijah’s scale and stunt double for the LOTR trilogy, and has also appeared in such films as Chronicles of Narnia, Dark Crystal and most recently did the introduction for the “The Dork of the Rings” feature film. Kiran will be appearing at the convention throughout the weekend. He was gracious enough to pose for this photo and talk to us for a bit. We were so happy to finally meet him! What a wonderful person! What a great way to start the weekend!
TORN Staffer MrCere writes: ATLANTA – Its officially only the day before DragonCon but already things here in downtown Atlanta are a bit crazy.

The BIG news has finally hit. A Ringer Spy who was recently in the New York offices of New Line Cinema has reported that they clearly saw ‘The Hobbit’ on the film schedule for 2007. Here’s what the spy had to say:
“Please leave my email anonymous as I have some very exciting news to report. I was in New Line’s NY offices to discuss upcoming projects when I clearly saw something very intriguing on a year planner. ‘The Hobbit’ was clearly marked on what looked like July 2007. I couldn’t exactly take a moment to investigate the calendar with my audience in the room, but it definitely said ‘The Hobbit’. Lets hope this is a PJ project!”
