The Asylum’s Age of the Hobbits Trailer

After getting away with a smattering of low budget knock-offs of major blockbusters over the past few years, Hollywood is finally starting to get wise to The Asylum’s game. Earlier this year, Universal filed a lawsuit to have them rename their Battleship rip-off from American Battleship to American Warships. Now this week Warner Brothers has successfully stopped The Asylum from putting their new movie Age of the Hobbits on store shelves this week due to possible customer confusion.
Strangely, after watching the trailer for Age of the Hobbits, I have no clue how the movie is in any way connected to J.R.R. Tolkien’s work. Apparently they are claiming that the movie is actually about a real-life subspecies of humans from Indonesia known as Homo Floresiensis, which were nicknamed “hobbit” due to their diminutive size. The courts didn’t work… and to be honest, it all feels a bit racist anyway. The movie stars Bai Ling and Christopher Judge, but at this point, no one knows when you’ll be able to see it. I guess you’ll just have to settle for the trailer instead!
