Production of the Hobbit film could be impacted by the family of Tolkien suing the producers of the original 3 Lord of the Rings films for royalties and stuff.
There are fears though that this whole lawsuit could rumble on longer than the original trilogy, which felt like forever.Production of the Hobbit film could be impacted by the family of Tolkien suing the... more

The director of the forthcoming Hobbit film, Guillermo del Toro (y'know, the bloke who did Pan's Labyrinth) has confirmed what everyone knew anyway - Ian McKellan, Hugo Weaving and Andy Serkis are on board to reprise their roles from Lord of the Rings.
I imagine the conversation went something like this:
"Ian, would you like lots more money?"
"Yes please"
I wonder if the Hobbit will be a million hours long too?The director of the forthcoming Hobbit film, Guillermo del Toro (y'know, the... more

A woman in Qatar snapped a photo of a creature in a parking lot whom many witnesses also claim to have seen. Could it be a living relative of the Hobbit fossils found recently?

Whoops! According to the curriculum vitae of an animator currently employed at LEGO developers Traveller's Tales, the team is currently working on two games. One a Harry Potter title, the other a second Indiana Jones.
LEGO Harry Potter, eh? Pardon us if we're less than surprised. Still, surprise isn't the point. The point is, it's LEGO, it's Harry Potter, it will, in all likelihood, conjure money.
The Indiana Jones game, meanwhile, sounds like one giant, crushing disappointment. The right thing to do would be to take the rich "universe" of Indiana Jones and pit him against some kind of nefarious Nazi scientist and/or plot. Maybe a LEGO Fate of Atlantis. But no.
We're getting LEGO Indiana Jones: The Kingdom of the Crystal Skull.
So, so sad. Anyway, let's move on. Onwards and upwards, as the resume leaks a third possible LEGO project: a demo pitch (remember, it's not a done deal, just a pitch!) put together by Traveller's Tales for the upcoming Hobbit films, the first of which is due in 2012. LEGO Lord of the Rings? With that many characters and that much combat, it could - like Star Wars did - actually work.

A recent discovery on the small Palau islands in the South Pacific has left some anthropologists excited at the prospect that real-life 'mini-me' might have existed.
The find has also raised questions over the links between similar findings of 'hobbit-like' bones on the island of Flores, which is only 2,000km away. The bones found on Palau have been radiocarbon dated to between 1,400 and 3,000 years old and share similarities with human remains, the only difference being that they are believed to have been generally shorter; up to to 4ft tall.
The idea of the findings being a complete new species is disputed by it's finder, Professor Berger, who believes that the island's inhabitants were simply smaller due to their surrounding environment:
"Under any circumstances the Palauan sample supports at least the possibility that the Flores hominins [modern humans, their ancestors and relatives since divergence from apes] are simply an island adapted population of H. sapiens, perhaps with some individuals expressing congenital abnormalities."
