From TORN:

Even More Spoilers! RotK Style...
Tookish @ 6:15 pm EST

Don't read this if you HATE to know the ending of a good story! From Ringer Miss Mac:

I Just got my Entertainment Weekly, and there is a little quote in the section called "ReelWorld" that I thought may be of interest to you guys.

Heavy spoilers.

"Rings Redux

We bring you news all the way from Middle-earth. Sir Ian Holm, who plays hobbit Bilbo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings:The Fellowship of the Ring, may not appear in the sequel, but don't count him out of the trilogy totally. 'I probably shouldn't say this, but I'm back in three... as a very old man.' Says Holm.

'Bilbo just suddenly appears at the end of the movie and says 'I'm ready for another adventure.' He goes off with Frodo into the sunset.'

Sounds slightly hobbo-erotic to us."-Rebecca Ascher-Walsh,Entertainment Weekly, #662, July 12, 2002

Spoiler alert!

or should we say it is an Un-Spoiler alert!?

TORN has updated/retracted/changed their report from Game Day reported here at Post 127.

It unspoils a few things, and adds a few new twists (Like Arwen not being at Helm's Deep) that you guys may find interesting, reassuring or amusing:

TTT Spoilers...-Update-!!
Xoanon @ 3:48 pm EST

Xoanon here, when I posted those reports from Game Day on July 4th, I guessed they would cause ripples, but I wanted to get the word out there. Shortly after I posted them some insiders deep within WETA have written to me to tell me that some of the rumors are somewhat false other are plain imagination. Check out this one email from one of my regular inside contacts in WETA:

I can't get too specific without breaching my confidentiality clause, however I will tell you this much, as you probably already know most of it anyway-

Arwen at Helm's Deep? Utter nonsense as I'm sure you're aware.

PJ wants Gollum slimy? Even if it were true, how on Earth would this guy know? No details about Gollum are known outside Weta, so this is speculation.

PJ said he wants to make The Hobbit? When? And to who? Wouldn't that be news? How does a GW employee know what the details of PJ's deal with NL are?

PJ is working on two more movies including a WW1 movie? Not in this Universe he ain't. Complete nonsense.

There's a bunch more stuff in here that is supposition being portrayed as fact, but I can't mention which ones without inadvertantly giving away the truth of the matter and thus breaking my contract, but suffice to say- much of what is presented here as fact is in actuality nothing more than fan speculation. I suspect the said GW employee had his knuckles wracked if what's reported here is what he really said. I can't believe New Line would have sanctioned this content.

I don't wish to provide any new information and thus infringe trust, but merely state what is already known or can be guessed when the source of the supposedly true statements is analysed. Simply put- when someone makes such claims, you have to wonder how on earth they could know that.

Anyway, I hope this helps clear it up a little. It simply irked me to see someone shooting off at the mouth and misrepresenting what we're all up to down here.

All the best, and keep up the good work.
