Tickets on sale November 7th -- don't be left out in the cold on opening night.

From the makers of the LEGO Cave Troll video comes another case of Pippin and Merry ruining everything. Enjoy the first of two Halloween weekends, everybody!

The Wellington airport just got a lot more precious. What's next, New Zealand? Peter Jackson for Prime Minister?

Peter Jackson has also revealed the running time of the first film: 2 hours and 40 minutes.

Denny's is rolling out an unexpected menu, full of Hobbit-themed food options. Anyone up for "Shire Sausage" or "Gandalf's Gobble Melt?"

See if you can stomach the commercial.

According to Empire, Colbert recently visited the Hobbit set in New Zealand:

I flew out and watched them shoot some scenes and went to some locations. I saw a 25-minute cut, and it was amazing. [Peter] Jackson knows I'm a big fan of the films.

Asked if he would be making a cameo, Colbert replied coyly: "Could be."

Starting November 1, New Zealand will be putting The Hobbit on their stamps and money. Ian McKellen is delighted by the concept, saying "to put Gandalf on these splendiferous coins is a wizard idea."

We see what you did there, Sir Ian. The coins are not only highly collectible, they're also legal tender. It's all about the Bagginses, baby.
