On this day, Halloween, in 1961 Peter Jackson, the director of the upcoming Lord of the Rings cinematic trilogy, was brought forth into the world. All of us here at The One Ring – Tolkien Online would like to wish him a very happy birthday! In keeping with the Hobbit tradition, Peter will hopefully be throwing a rather large celebration party… Let’s hope he doesn’t vanish with a blinding flash of light, never to be seen again!
