Do you think they'll ever make books for the Lotr's like they did for the Hobbit trilogy?
I would think it would be so cool if they made Weta Chronicles books for the Lord of the Rings!

but ok! I've looked at the art books by Gary Russell and their very good! I was just hoping that they had books for the Lotr's the same as the Weta Chronicles because of all their beautiful props and photographs!
Thanks anyway!

From Daniel Falconer on The Flame of Udun forum:
"I would love to do Chronicles style books covering The Lord of the Rings and something that includes the amazing LOTR miniatures/bigatures would be very cool. There’s enough content that something like that could even be its own thing.
The concept is something that we have been discussing with the publishers and remains a distinct possibility. They are of the mind that we need to conclude the Chronicles as a series with the sixth book this November, so that is currently the plan, but that doesn’t mean we won’t be able to give The Lord of the Rings the Chronicles-style treatment under another name or slightly different format. Given the lead time we need on these kinds of books, if it happens it will be next year. Keep your fingers crossed for us! It’s probably the question I get asked most often and seeing how many have jumped in to support it in this thread already demonstrates to me that there is a tremendous appetite for books like this. I am as enthusiastic about it as you guys. I am very hopeful it will happen "

to me as well at Comic Con 2014 in NYC that they might be able to do this. So maybe we could get some publicity going on this -- like a main page article? and try and drum up support in the form of numbers willing to buy them. I can't imagine that everyone who bought the Hobbit Chronicles series would't easily go for an LotR Archives (or some such title) series.

I read that as 'Richard Taylor indicted'.

News Update: Las Vegas, Nevada (U.S.A)
The recent indictment of Sir Richard Taylor, award winning creative director of New Zealand-based special effects company WETA Workshop, was summarily dismissed today with an effusive apology from the judge of the Las Vegas district court.
The decision received enthusiastic applause from the crowded courtroom.
Sir Richard Taylor had been indicted on charges of disorderly conduct and attempted assault, after an incident at the popular Las Vegas Comic Con. It was alleged that Sir Taylor, who has a reputation for a warm sense of humor and quote "the classiest guy you would ever want to meet" chased a number of "Con" attendees from the WETA booth with a movie prop crafted in the shape of a spear or large arrow.
"I am outraged by this travesty of justice" the judge told a courtroom packed with cinema fans, some sporting various costumes representing characters from the recent series of Hobbit films. "And the evidence fully demonstrates that a talented, creative, and courtly individual was pushed beyond the emotional limit of what even the most hardened of us could stand."
"Just look at this courtroom - women with fake beards, men in sparkly dresses - I know this is Vegas but enough already, we are supposed to be a family-friendly tourist destination. Never mind these crazed "fans" pushing a KNIGHT, mind you, that's SIR Richard, beyond the brink with their incessant pestering "to tell Peter Jackson we want more Fili" (and what is a "Fili" - all of them should be arrested!) and "we want the Sil!" and "why can't you make a 1/4 scale Smaug" and on and on."
Sir Richard Taylor was offered a luxurious suite at the Mandarin Oriental and numerous apologies on behalf of the city of Las Vegas, as well as $10,000 in free gaming credits.
