I was somewhat confused by this as "Tales from the Perilous Realm" has been out for years (the version I have was published in 1998) but I see they've added Roverandom to it.

https://www.mtv.com/movies/news/articles/1586421/story.jhtml Another Interview with GDT. He wants Ian Holm to be involved in some way, to me this suggests we may get a older Bilbo telling the story. He again says that the 2nd film will be for the most part the "Unseen" events of the Hobbit...

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread From GDT Interview at TORn https://www.theonering.net/torwp/2008/04/25/28747-guillermo-del-toro-chats-with-torn-about-the-hobbit-films/#more-28747 He also states that the 2nd film will be set (at least partly) between TH and FotR. Sounds...

Re: The Official "The Hobbit" movie thread I think 2011 and 2012 are the proposed release dates, I really can't see them getting the first film done for a 2010 release. Saying that Ian Mckellen seemingly believes otherwise as his website has updated with a listing of him playing Gandlaf in...

The answer to the riddle was not 2pm NZ time but 72 hours from when the riddle was first posted, still makes it Monday. In an audio Interview GDT does say Monday should be the day but it may (depending on one of the parties involved) be the middle of this week...

GDT has posted a riddle on the Hellboy II boards and TORn which suggests (if people have the correct answer) that there is an announcement at 2PM Monday (NZ time).

I would guess they would make the Eowyn/ML somewhat different to the statues, possibly going for the moment Eowyn stabs the WK through his helm or even the instant she decapitates the Fell Beast if they want a more complicated diorama. I voted for Sam/Frodo.

They could have Del Toro being Director on The Hobbit and PJ Director on the "LotR Prequel". Note that the Variety article gives possible release dates a year behind what was initially announced. That could be down to the Writers strike more than anything else though.

New Line has been folded into Warner Bros and while it will retain it's identity it is no longer a seperate studio. https://www.variety.com/article/VR1117981598.html?categoryId=13&cs=1 Exactly what this means for "The Hobbit" film(s) is unclear as yet. Does the Tolkien Trust now have to...

There has been some negative feeling about Del Toro when it was reported that he did not finish reading Lord of the Rings because it was too dense. However he posted on the Hellboy II board the other day that not only has he now breezed through LotR (he was 11 when he last tried to read it)...

Nope, New Line have had the film Rights for quite a few years now and were in fact soon about to lose them if this deal had not gone ahead. Not sure exactly when they aquired them off Saul Zaentz but it was certainly before 2002. MGMs Distribution Rights to a Hobbit film date back to the...

The thing is "The Quest of Erebor" was first published in "Unfinished Tales" the film rights to which were never granted. Must admit I did not know it was republished in TAH but I would guess that would not make a difference. I would class "The Annointed Hobbit" as a totally seperate book to...

While Brown horses were used for filming they must have been altered in post production beacuse all the horses seen in the final film are black. See here https://www.framecaplib.com/lotrlib/html/episodes/images/fotr/fotr0621.htm

That's not "The Scouring" though just the film version of Sams vision of what happened to the Shire "The Scouring" Defn ( to clear (a region) of enemies or outlaws) is the Hobbits returning and dealing with the Ruffians and Saruman which was never filmed.

Though missing the Scouring was never filmed This is the Arwen/Aragorn scene https://www.framecaplib.com/lotrlib/html/episodes/images/unused/unuse06.htm There were also More scenes in Bree. Elven maids running though Lorien Elrond and Arwen in Lothlorien Arwen at Helms Deep Arwen...
