Ok, so I wasn’t expecting LOTR blurbs in a ST mag, but here it is, straight from Barliman regular PowerLeca,

In Issue 126 of the Star Trek Communicator, there was a very short blip about the upcoming LOTR movie. It was at the VERY end of the Sensor Readings section. Here is the full whaddayacallit:

“…onetime Star Trek: Voyager guest stars Brad Dourif (Suder) and John Rhys-Davies (Leonardo de Vinci) are both set to star in New Line Cinema’s live-action version of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy novel, Lord of the Rings. Principal photography began in October on location in New Zealand.”

Thanks for the tip!

Greetings, Quickbeam here.

The most erudite and deliciously bookish Turgon has come forth from his Library to shower us with gifts. The gifts of KNOWLEDGE, mind you, and he’s got plenty to share!

Read from his 12 great new articles in the Q&A section and you’ll learn various things about Turin’s speaking sword and the esoteric Second Prophecy of Mandos. But the joy of being STUMPED has eluded us still! Turgon takes on the meaning of “Moria, the Black Pit“– Click here to see the new Stump the Staff.

He’s also given us the “Best New Tolkien for Christmas” in his Bookshelf column, taking us close-up to the new edition of the Professor’s “Letters from Father Christmas.” This is very cool stuff.

And I offer for your pleasure a fun little item for the Holiday Season. Go Out on a Limb with me as I explain to Samwise’s eldest daughter, “Yes, Elanor, there really is a Gandalf!

Much too hasty,

Quickbeam

And you still haven’t sent me anything for X-Mas? Ok well, here’s hoping. But if you want to get that special someone a great LOTR item try this weeks Ebay items over at our shop!

Jenny passed along some infor regarding the possible fate of Eomer. She emailed Mike Deluca himself and asked about it. This is what the long winded Producer had to say:

thanks for the kind words…and Eomer is in the movie

There we have it, though I’ll be waiting for more credible confirmation, but rest ye fears! It looks like he’s still in!
