    MoviesPeter Jackson and New Line Cinema have settled their lawsuit and have begun work on two films, The Hobbit, and a sequel set to be released in 2010 and 2011 respectively. We'll be posting all the information on our wiki as it comes to us: Peter Jackson's The Hobbit.

    P.S. For those concerned about our lack of updates: we've been slaving away over our encyclopedia and working on building a new news system integrated into our wiki so fans can post and edit news items themselves. This should be launched and we'll let you know as soon as it is ready.

    BooksFor fans of The History of The Hobbit who have been patiently waiting on the second volume to be released, it seems Amazon.co.uk is finally fulfilling orders and the volume is being shipped. Order from Amazon.co.uk. If you're over in the United States and hoping to order this from Amazon.com, you'll have to wait until later this year when the set is published by Houghton Mifflin.

    BooksNow that The Children of Hurin has been out for a couple weeks we have a good idea about how the public feels about it, and it's good news. The book debuted at #1 on the New York Times Best Seller List and the publishers are having a hard time keeping up with all the orders. TolkienLibrary.com has some facts and figures on the publication, including details on how many signed copies are floating about.

    BooksIn a rather surprise move, the publication date for The History of The Hobbit: Mr Baggins by John D. Rateliff has been moved up from May 8th to...tomorrow! This is the first volume in a two volume set which will be quite similar to The History of Middle-earth series. The book has been in process for decades and even has the approval of Christopher Tolkien, definitely a must have. Pre-order from Amazon.co.uk
