These are sad days for fans of "mockbusters" everywhere - because we have learned from Deadline Hollywood, that Warner Bros have been successful in their bid to keep the latest effort from Asylum, out of video stores. Warner Bros/New Line/MGM, the studios behind Peter Jackson's latest epic The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, have taken exception to Asylum's similarly titled, Age Of The Hobbits. The battle ended up in court and an injunction has been granted against the sale of the mockbuster. The Judge made the ruling because people may mistake the mockbuster, for the real thing. A full hearing will be held in in January.
Until then, the only way to satisfy our Hobbit related cravings is to enjoy the trailer below, or go and see the Peter Jackson effort in theaters.
