Clash of the Empires

Clash of the Empires also known as Lord of the Elves is an American fantasyadventure film produced by The Asylum and directed by Joseph Lawson. The film stars Christopher Judge, Bai Ling and Sun Korng.

The film is about a prehistoric struggle between a community of Homo floresiensis known as hobbits and their brutal oppressors, Java Man Java Men. The hobbits ally with early humans against the Javas. According to The Asylum, In an ancient age, the small, peaceloving hobbits are enslaved by the Java Men, a race of flesheating dragonriders. The young hobbit Goben must join forces with their neighbor giants, the humans, to free his people and vanquish their enemies.Warner Bros., producers of The Hobbit film series, sent a ceaseanddesist letter to The Asylum on August 31, 2012. The Asylum responded by altering some of the promotional material for their film, but they refused to take the word hobbit out of the films title. In November 2012, Warner Bros., New Line Cinema, MGM and The Hobbit producer Saul Zaentz commenced legal action against The Asylum for Age of the Hobbits, claiming that they were freeriding on the worldwide promotional campaign for Peter Jacksons forthcoming films. The Asylum claimed its movie is legally sound because its hobbits are not based on the J. R. R. Tolkien creations. The Asylum argued that Age of the Hobbits is about the reallife human subspecies, Homo floresiensis, discovered in 2003 in Indonesia, which have been uniformly referred to as hobbits in the scientific community. ........
