All Shall Love Me and Despair

And it's not a surprise to me, either.

Kristin Thompson posts that Lionsgate drops out of MGM bidding and according to TORn, Source says the MGM situation of ‘great importance’ to two potential ‘Hobbit’ films

TheOneRing.net has received rock-solid information from an absolutely reliable source that the MGM financial situation is indeed what is behind the delays of the start of “The Hobbit.”

More at the links, as usual.


Also, More More Vintage LOTR Clips featuring Richard Taylor, a PJ BAFTA (FotR) interview, and some rare WETA team footage! (Rick Porraqs? ROTFL)


I also have to add that I am very jealous of Kristin Thomspon for a reason that has nothing whatsoever to do with LotR...

Arte is showing a Terra X episode (didn't even know that documentary series still exists) about the historic Assassins (Hashshashin), of which Robin of Sherwood's Nasir used to be a member. And they're featuring Farhad Daftary - I have one of his books on the subject.
