The long-awaited prequel has finally arrived.

Yesterday was the big day for all you Lord of the Rings fans. Filming began on March 21st in New Zealand on The Hobbit, the long-awaited prequels to the Lord of the Rings trilogy.

So not to worry, this movie is really finally happening for all you worried fans. Although the pre-production encountered many bumps on the road that might have made you think otherwise, nothing could stop this movie in the making. Outlasting financial concerns, a labor conflict, the loss of director Guillermo del Toro, and even an earthquake that rattled New Zealand, Peter Jackson wants to reassure all his fans, that this movie is going to happen!

I personally can’t wait!

If you haven’t listened to the audio books yet, now might be a great time in honor of the new movie.

Are you looking forward to the new Peter Jackson flick?

For the hardcore vampire lovers out there who thought your favorite fiends were dying a slow sucky death at the hands of romance, at last, we might have a saviour.

Guillermo del Toro, famed director of Pan’s Labyrinth, Blade II and the Hellboy series, alongside author Chuck Hogan, has just released The Strain, the first in what is set to be a trilogy of vampire novels.

Guillermo and Hogan present vampirism as a virus, about to destroy the world. “They have always been here. Vampires. In secret and in darkness. Waiting. Now their time has come.  In one week, Manhattan will be gone. In one month, the country. In two months—the world”

Watch this clip for an idea of what kind of vampire you can expect from del Toro.

Finally vampires are monsters again. Unleash the bloodsucking plague.
