Just yesterday, the UK chapter of Harper Collins posted this snippet video, seemingly confirming that at long last, Serkis’ voice will narrate us through Middle Earth.

Over the past 10 years, she’s built a reputation at conventions across the globe as a cosplayer (occasionally), photographer (constantly), panelist and moderator (mostly), and reporter (always). Interviews, reviews, observations, breaking news, and objective reporting are the name of the game for the founder of Harkonnen Knife Fight, a Dune-themed band with an international presence. Though she be but little, she is fierce.
