Ed Gross at voicesfromkrypton.com managed a great Guillermo del Toro interview from last weekend’s New York Comic-Con. Mr. del Toro elaborates in much greater detail than ever before (at least on the record) why he was attracted to ‘The Hobbit’ in the first place and explains his vision for how his two films will transition into the Jackson’s trilogy. He says, “we are creating a beautiful overture”. Can you guess what the two scenes he hopes to film he called,”two of the greatest experiences of my life”? The audio is less edited and more telling than anything we have heard so far. Take a listen at VoicesFromKrypton. Dial up users be patient and let the picture of GDT with a Hobbit over his shoulder load, then click the play button. If anybody feels up to transcribing the several minutes of audio feel free to send it to Spymaster@TheOneRing.net

An undisclosed Ringer Spy sent along these really COOL pics of some Witchking armor (Armour for some) and one of the RINGS! One of the nine rings for mortal men doomed to die….how coooooooool!!! Unfortunately these pics are small, but you still get to see some amazing detail!!

The first are a pair of gauntlets used by the dark riders…some very cool stuff, we’ve seen these in the trailers before. The second is a metal gorget, a gorget is a device that helps protect the throat, larynx, and back of the neck. And of course, two shots of the same ring…all very cool stuff!

At this rate, we might end up seeing the WHOLE movie before December! Yet again, there are new pictures available at Elostirion.com. First, we have a wonderful shot of Gandalf (probably) leading the Fellowship. The second image shows the layout of Orthanc and a look at the Palantir. !SPOILERS [More]

Thanks to Dave for the heads up!
