Please Say It Isn't So! The Hobbit Moved Back to December 2013?? Update

Screenrant.com is reporting that Warner Bros may push The Hobbit's release date back one year to December 2013 to give Peter Jackson more time to work on the two films. Only a report, so it may not be true:

"When it comes to Peter Jackson’s return to Middle-earth, the more time the merrier."

To read the entire article from Screenrant.com click HERE.

Please say it isn't so! Can we wait another year to see Richard Armitage as Thorin? Can Peter Jackson make enough Video Blogs for another year to keep us from going crazy without much Armitage news?

If it is true, on the positive side, maybe it means PJ will be working on editing and the technical part of the two films for 2013 and Richard Armitage will be free to take another job before The Hobbit. Maybe a program or movie "all about love".

UPDATE: Looks like Warner Bros has issued a statement, according to NextNewMovie.com:

Update: Warner Bros. has reached out to debunk the rumor:

"Contrary to inaccurate reports - The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey is being released on December 14, 2012" - Dan Fellman, President, Domestic Distribution, Warner Bros. Pictures.

Is this the beginning of things to come, more rumors as the release date approaches, or was it Warner Bros. testing the waters to see how fans would take the news of pushing The Hobbit back one year? We'll probably never know - LOL

Phew! It is hard to wait for yet one more year, can't think about 2. At least WB has denied it.

On the other hand if RA would use that extra year for something 'about love' would be awesome, when I see some VoD footage can't help thinking how 'rare' is for us to see him grin widely or laugh (being in character). I want to hear more laughs, singing and maybe dancing from him :D.

Hi OML! Lovely to see you.
I know, I was sad yesterday thinking of having to wait more than one year, but like you I would like to see him in a good comedy, or playing a character that had to dance at some point in the film. Good that the delay was only a rumor :)

I thought, "no way is the supposed Mayan apocalypse going to happen before I see him as Thorin. NO WAY!" :-)

Fabo, I share your feelings and distress.

Of course, Warner could not but debunk the rumor, but this is really a though project to manage and delays are possible, understandable, unacceptable (from our part).

We can only wait and hope. Thanks for the update

@DarkJackal I'm with you all the way! The world can't end before we see The Hobbit!

@LadyCassia Thank you for sharing my distress.I was so shocked when I read the news, and so relieved to find out it wasn't true.

Hannibal: Season 3 Review by Eric Goldman Love crime -IGN

And wow, was this version of Red Dragon awesome. Yes, it streamlined some aspects – we didn’t get any of the Dolarhyde flashbacks (one tiny glimpse aside) and Will’s role was altered, to some extent. But this was creepy, intense storytelling through and through, with Richard Armitage bringing just the right mix of scary and semi-sympathetic as Francis Dolarhyde, a murderous, delusional monster who was at war with the potentially loving man somewhere deep inside him – a war amplified as Dolarhyde fell for the blind Reba (a strong Rutina Wesley), even as “the Dragon” was coming to life within him, compelling him to kill.

His face went from “imma kill" to “Flowers and tea, yay let’s go play" And I got up and walked over to him. He said (in the mst adorable accent on the planet) Hello there, I’m Richard.""

North & South and Spooks (MI-5) Win Top Spots in BBC America's Top British Drama's of All Time

North & South wins the #2 spot in BBC America Anglophenia Readers Poll of the 10 Best British TV Series of All Time.

I hope BBC America and PBS (US Public TV) will look at the results of this poll and will broadcast this wonderful series in the U.S. It aired only once in only select PBS stations back in 2005, I know because I was one of the lucky ones that saw it then. I don't recall that it ever aired on BBC America.

Also great news that Spooks or MI-5 in the U.S., won the #7 spot in the reader's poll. Another series that has never been allowed the time to find it's American audience on PBS or BBC America.

The time is now PBS and BBC America for US audiences to see these two great British programs.

For the results of the Anglophenia/BBC America poll click on the link below:

"The Hobbit" Question of the Month: Sexy Dwarves or Bearded Dwarves?

Unless you've been under a rock lately you know that Peter Jackson and "The Hobbit" group have been very busy making casting announcements about the film. Because of the casting of several very attractive actors (talented actors all) for the Middle-earth dwarves (Richard Armitage, Aidan Turner, and others) there's quite an interesting discussion developing between Tolkien purists and fans of the actors in question, or just movie fans in general about whether the look of the Middle-earth dwarves should remain true to the book, or maybe changed to provide some eye candy for us ladies.

There's a marvelous and very funny article all about this issue on www.theonering.net by Maegwen. You can read the entire article by clicking HERE.

I was just inspired by the article and RA Central (on Twitter) to post the unscientific poll below. So how about it world, do we want sexy dwarves in Middle-earth or hairy, long-bearded, dwarves?
