New Hobbit Poster

On Tuesday another Hobbit poster has been released. This one features Bilbo kneeling between two pillars at the top of some steps. Snow and whitness filters the poster from the steps to the landscape behind him. Bilbo is also holding Sting in one of his hands as if ready for the battle to come.

New Hobbit Trailer!

The Prophet staff were a little ill yesterday, so now with full recovery the Prophet announces that a trailer has just been released yesterday. The Hobbit: Battle of the Five Armies's is here.

The trailer starts with Bilbo speaking of how he will never forget and finally as he finishes his lines...wait for it...PIPPIN SINGS his To the Edge of Night song from Return of the King. Then the words: This December...Witness...the Defining Chapter...in the Middle-Earth Saga.

So the trailer depicts the last parts of the book where we see Smaug attack Lake Town and the slow desire of greed and corruption take hold over Thorin. Battles threaten to release between Erebor and Lake Town thanks to Thorin, but a new threat arises. With the help of Galadriel, Gandalf is able to unite the men, dwarves, and elves to fight the oncoming battle against the orcs and goblins. This fight will be called the Battle of Five Armies. It consists of five armies: Elves, Dwarves, Men, Goblins, and Orcs.

The new title makes sense doesn't it?

Book Update: Queens and Heroes

Two book releases have come to the Prophet's attention.

1. The Queen of the Tearling by Erika Johansen has been released this past July 8th. The book was inspired by one of President's Obama's speech and is in a way a female version of Game of Thrones. There is news that a film adaption of the novel is on the way and will be starring Harry Potter alumni Emma Watson (Hermione Granger) as the leading protagonist Kelsea.

2. In an earlier post sometime last autumn, the House of Hades book release announcement was made. Along with this announcement came the title of the new book. It is now common knowledge, but as mentioned earlier it is the Prophet's intention to make up for lost time. The title is Blood of Olympus. The cover has been released this past May. The book will be released on October 7th of 2014.

Defining Chapter

The third and final installment for The Hobbit is to be released in December of this year. There has been some delay on news for the third film due to the need of a name change. The original intended title was There and Back Again, which is very befitting for the final installment and honorary for it is the second title name for the story. However, Peter Jackson and his team didn't feel the title was doing the final film justice. The title was great for a box-set edition or something, but not for the final film.

So it has been renamed to The Battle of the Five Armies. The poster has just been released this week featuring Bard below ready to face Smaug, who is terrorizing Lake Town. The words The Defining Chapter is written above.

A trailer is to come sometime this Saturday during the San Diego Comic Con. After that another trailer is promised to be released sometime in October.

A side note: Due to the Prophet's lack of news in the past months, the prophet will be playing catch up in the following weeks. Many of the news is already common knowledge, but the Prophet feels it is their moral duty report them to their loyal fans and readers.

Tolkien and Lewis Film

Rumor has spread...a film based on the strong and magical friendship of J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis. Through this friendship the epics: the Chronicles of Narnia, The Hobbit, and the Lord of the Rings were created.

Two films in the past were rumored to have been made as well. It is currently unknown how far those two have gotten. They are known by these titles: The Lion Awakes and Jack and Tollers.

This new film will be titled Tokien and Lewis. Let's hope this one makes it to the big screen.

Naming Contest for the Lady of the Green Kirtle

Sometime in the autumn of 2013 it has been announced that the Silver Chair will be made. However, as the script is being written a problem has occurred. As much as we all love the name The Lady of the Green Kirtle (LGK) and has been referred to this among other titles Queen of the Underlands, the Green Lady, etc. However for a film she needs a name for the moviemakers and ourselves to. LGK is a mouthful and can't put that in the script and keep calling her that throughout the film. It won't do. So it is up to the fans to decide what her name will be.

On narnia.com the contest is open for you to enter a name for the LGK. The winner of this contest will have that name in the script and the official name for the LGK for this film.

What name will you choose?
