Tomorrow in Hall of Fire we’ll finally return to our chapter-by-chapter discussion of the Hobbit with Chapter 9 — Barrels out of Bond.
After nabbing Thorin, the Wood-elves capture the rest of the Company — except Bilbo. Bilbo secretly follows the elves as they take the dwarves to Thranduil’s underground realm.
Bilbo realises it’s up to him to save everyone — again. Wearing the ring constantly, he soon comes up with and carries out a daring escape plan. Continue reading “Hall of Fire chats the Hobbit Chapter 9 tomorrow!”
We’re about to begin our weekly Hall of Fire discussion on the TORn chat server and this session is going to be dedicated to dissecting all the interesting tidbits from Pater Jackson’s latest video diary.

We’re done folks! Thanks to everyone who came along! However, you can still visit our main chat room here where we’re talking Comic-con stuff!
It’s a little last minute, but considering Peter Jackson decided that Comic-con week would be a good time to put out a new production diary, we’ve decided that we really ought to have another rumour and speculation chat in the Hall of Fire.
So join us tomorrow, Saturday July 23 at 6pm EDT when we’ll pull apart Jackson’s latest offerings — the scenes in the Trollshaws, Gollum’s snippets of dialogue in the cave, Galadriel and Elrond, plus much more, and talk about what they mean for the movie!

It’s time to get our hands dirty with the latest Hobbit movie news and rumours again in the Hall of Fire!
There’s been a huge amount coming out over the past couple of weeks with the conclusion of the first block of shooting. Although script and plot details are being kept predictably close by the creative team, we do have a new production diary to analyse! What are your thoughts on the sets that we’ve seen? Where might they be? What scenes might have been being shot so far?
We’ve also had a rash of portrait photos of some of Thorin’s company of dwarves. What are your thoughts of how they look? Too “dark”? To hot? Just right? And what of the bios that have been published with each? What can we glean from poring through them? Continue reading “Movie rumours round-up this weekend in the Hall of Fire!”
“Fourteen individuals – and an ensemble.”
Today’s press conference opened with an apology from Peter Jackson, who said he couldn’t be there as he was “under a form of medical house arrest” since being hospitalised with a perforated ulcer last week.
“And to be honest, perhaps it’s just as well. These guys make me laugh so hard that I’d be in danger of popping a stitch or something,” Jackson continued in his statement.
Confirming the truth of that, the cast of 13 dwarves and one hobbit kept up a constant flow of quips and wisecracks throughout the whole press conference. We knew Martin Freeman was funny with a good script – well, he’s hilarious without one as well.
Many fans have been wondering whether 13 dwarves would become a generic mass in the film, or whether they would be fleshed out in the script to have individual personalities. Continue reading “Thirteen singing dwarves and a very funny Hobbit”
