Frodo fans rejoice!
Elijah Wood will reprise his role in the upcoming two-part Peter Jackson-helmed "Lord of the Rings" film, "The Hobbit," according to the actor's reps. The news comes on the heels that Warner Bros. will handle the worldwide theatrical and video distribution.
Although "The Hobbit" is slated to be a "Lord of the Rings" prequel that goes down years before Frodo's birth, Jackson put a creative loophole in the blockbuster series that could make an organic Frodo cameo possible. The filmmaker included the fictional Bilbo Baggins-penned tome "The Hobbit, or There and Back Again" to record his adventures — a detail that could allow viewers to follow the narrative alongside Wood's character in "The Hobbit.

The fantasy community has lost a great artist.
Pierre Vinet, the still photographer for the Lord of the Rings trilogy and other recent fantasy films has died, according to the Tolkien fan site, TheOneRing.net.
Vinet has been an active still photographer for motion pictures since the late 70’s.
His relationship with the Lotr Director, Peter Jackson, goes back to 1992, when he was a still photographer for Jackson’s horror flick Braindead.
Vinet’s photos from the Lotr trilogy, including iconic photos of the film’s characters, were some of the first images released from the production, and have gone to represent the films in print publications, products and promotions throughout the world.
Vinet has also worked on numerous fantasy and horror films, including The Water Horse, The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, King Kong and Battlefield Earth.
Our condolences go out to his friends and family.
