Now that I’m back from Italy, I’ve been catching up with the many little pieces of Hobbit-project news that have come out since my departure on June 25.

If you’ve read the fourth chapter of The Frodo Franchise, where I discuss press junkets and interviews, you’ll know that these interviews often include the same frequently asked questions over and over. Watching or reading the interviews that have appeared over the past three weeks or so, it’s obvious he has his answers ready and can deliver them very articulately. As GDT said in his chat with Quint on Ain’t It Cool News (July 12),

The family theme for this season is understanding the impact of suffering on our lives. As I have sought God’s guidance in home schooling and shaping these very impressionable minds, I have noticed a remarkable answer from God. All the literature I have been lead to deals with the theme of suffering, perseverance, and triumph. But it doesn’t stop there. Triumph in and of itself is not the end. Triumph leads to impact, influence, and world change.Â

As we all know, New Line Cinema is hoping to make The Golden Compass the beginning of a new franchise trilogy on the scale of The Lord of the Rings. I’ve blogged about how the studio has been replicating as closely as possible its tactics for promoting The Fellowship of the Ring back in 2001: preview and party at Cannes, similar graphics for the promotional material, and so on.

KT: One of the things I talk about in the book is how the film was financed in part by New Line selling the distribution rights for various countries to these little companies in countries around the world. I think there were 25 or 26 of those. One thing that intrigues me is the fact that a lot of them were brought down to New Zealand to be reassured, because they had bought all three films completely sight unseen. T... more
The co-producer of The Lord of the Rings, Rick Porras joined me on September 27 at Barnes & Noble in New York. I asked Rick questions for about half an hour, and then we opened the conversation up for questions from the audience before I signed copies of The Frodo Franchise. Thanks to all the fans who attended and especially to Rick, who took time out of a busy schedule to help make it an enlightening and memorable evening!
