There wasn't a Hobbit panel lat year due to filming in NZ at the time of SDCC. Any rumors or word on a Hobbit panel for this years offering? The 2012 Hobbit panel was AMAZING.
I haven't heard any word about a Hobbit panel yet, but I think it's highly likely that they'll have a panel in Hall H (where else would it be? ha ha) this year. Some of the cast members are already making appearances at conventions like Calgary Expo and FantasyCon...
I would be extremely disappointed if there wasn't one. This will really be their last chance to come to SDCC as there's almost 0 chance the Tolkien estate is handing over The Silmarillion to Jackson.
Indeed! Peter Jackson can always make other movies and come back to Comic-Con to promote something else on his own, but specifically, as a group for The Hobbit film franchise and its cast members, it would probably be the last chance to present a panel with the director and/or producers. The Tolkien estate is never, ever, ever giving up the rights to the The Silmarillion. I'll probably win the California lotto before that happens (and even then, the odds are much, much less than getting struck by lightning twice).Ha ha.
Hey, I was thinking. Except for parking and the badge resale, it seems like a lot of people are going to be looking for news around the panels. There are usually a lot of questions speculating what panels might be where and when. I also know this forum sometimes likes to use spreadsheets. So, I was wondering. Would a spreadsheet be helpful that shows panel locations, days and times for the past two years with empty columns for 2014 that we could populate as information became known. Of course, once the official programs came out, the spreadsheet wouldn't be needed, but it would be a one source for people to look at info like "What day or time did X have a panel last year or the year before?"What I envision is the followingName of panel/Location in 2012, day, time/Location in 2013, day, time /Yes or No confirmed panel for 2014, location in 2014, day, timeExample 2012 2013 2014The Walking Dead Hall H Friday 1:25 Hall H Friday 1:45 N (Y when panel is confirmed) then add location, day, time if announcedIt's a strong indication that The Walking Dead are likely to have a panel in Hall H on Friday sometime in the early afternoon.I already created this in Excel for all the panels that were in Hall H or Ballroom 20, but don't know how to put it into a google doc. Once it's in a spreadsheet it could be sorted or filtered as needed. Anyway, just a suggestion since we tend to get a lot questions around this type of info on the forum.
Thanks, that seemed easy. Does the link below work? Would something like this be useful?You are not allowed to view links. Register or Login
Nope, wasn't intentional. Just didn't know any better. Try it again. You should also be able to edit it if there is anything anyone wants to add.
