The first of the tie-in books - the kids' puzzle book - came out last week; the rest are due in November.
The competition for a trip to Wellington to see the film is up and running now.
Here's the news thread.
Everything will happen in good time. Patience, grasshopper......

I already wrote here that some of my friends died earlier this year.
We are old and one by one we fall.
It is unfair that these movies are only made for those who were teenagers 10 years ago
So many who loved the story have not been able to see it all

Sorry if I sound cold or harsh here.
But that is how movies are done... and Bot5A is not the only blockbuster right now which seems to focus its big marketing campaign to the last 2 months before release.
There will surely be a trailer and more info on the EE over the next 4 weeks, with a trailer for Bot5A probably arriving before the end of October. More magazines will probably also publish Hobbit related stuff over that timeframe.
So plenty of stuff to spend time on. Until then it is probably better to focus on what is already there and maybe re-watch old material instead of picturing horror scenarios of what could happen before Bot5A is released. It is "just" a movie, after all.
"I am afraid it is only too likely to be true what you say about the critics and the public. I am dreading the publication for it will be impossible not to mind what is said. I have exposed my heart to be shot at." J.R.R. Tolkien
We all have our hearts and minds one way or another invested in these books and movies. So we all mind and should show the necessary respect.

It's hard that you have lost friends, and I'm sorry for it...

But that doesn't alter the fact. The films are made for everyone who wants to see them, of any age, but the one thing the filmmakers cannot do is make plans according to who might die before they're released. It just isn't possible.
Think about it - a child might die from illness or accident - a teenager might die, while more people live to be centanarians year on year. There are no certainties. We're all here while we're here to make the best of the time we have and that's so much bigger than the timing of any film. It's an awful lot more than ten years since I was a teenager and I hope I'm still around to enjoy the film when it comes out, but if I'm not, I'm not. That's just tough, and it's hardly Peter Jackson's fault. (And I'm not planning to go anywhere just yet!  )
I sit beside the fire and think of how the world will be
When winter comes without a spring that I shall ever see
For still there are so many things that I have never seen
In every wood in every spring there is a different green.....

In that 1) evidently the press got to see a rough cut of BOFA months ago and 2) these books and movies that drag on and on before release can be a problem. I have no answers but wish the time lag wasn't in years - it's hard when you care about the material and it brings so much joy.
Hó , Það sé ég föður minn
Hó , Það sé ég móður mína, og Hó, Það sé ég bræður mínir og systur mínar
Hó , Það sé ég mitt fólk aftur í byrjun
Hó, gera Þeir kalla til mín, og bjóða mér að taka minn stað meðal þeirra í sölum Valhallar
Hvar hugrakkir mun lifa að eilífu

...and give them a good swift kick in the pants.
******************************************
Suddenly the king cried to Snowmane and the horse sprang away. Behind him his banner blew in the wind, white horse upon a field of green, but he outpaced it. After him thundered the knights of his house, but he was ever before them. Éomer rode there, the white horsetail on his helm floating in his speed, and the front of the first éored roared like a breaker foaming to the shore, but Théoden could not be overtaken. Fey he seemed, or the battle-fury of his fathers ran like new fire in his veins, and he was borne up on Snowmane like a god of old, even as Oromë the Great in the battle of the Valar when the world was young. His golden shield was uncovered, and lo! it shone like an image of the Sun, and the grass flamed into green about the white feet of his steed. For morning came, morning and a wind from the sea; and the darkness was removed, and the hosts of Mordor wailed, and terror took them, and they fled, and died, and the hoofs of wrath rode over them. And then all the host of Rohan burst into song, and they sang as they slew, for the joy of battle was on them, and the sound of their singing that was fair and terrible came even to the City:
There's a Great Darkness over the Pelennor,
There's a Great Darkness over the Pelennor!
Our spears’ nowhere as high as an Oliphaunt’s eye,
And the field’s full of orcs, wargs and huge Olog-hai!
Oh what a Rohirrim morning,
Oh what a Rohirrim day!
We've got a wonderful feeling,
We shall kill thousands today!
Oh, we’ll kill us some Easterling Variags,
And know we’re not given to idle brags,
We’ll battle and vanquish the Black Serpent King,
And even an undying dwimmerlaik thing!
Oh what a Rohirrim morning,
Oh what a Rohirrim day!
We've got a wonderful feeling,
We shall kill thousands today!
-Rodgers and Hammerstein, The Lord of the Rings

we're only three quarters through this twelve film series, with three films still to come - two of them in the next three months. I'm particularly looking forward to the next one, which is only 6 weeks away (?) - some of my favourite bits from the books will finally make it to film, hopefully.
Possibly even a thirteenth film to come, if PJ decides to do an ultimate edit of the whole lot at some stage...I'm really looking forward to watching the 20+ hour finished product, in chronological order, which will be a different experience again.
