CinéBobine sent in this item reported by the French press which is good news for trailer fans: “In order to attribute the by-products licences, French firms were invited on the 3rd of November to watch some minutes of footage from “The Fellowship of the Ring”. A publicity campaign took place which gave some important information: It was confirmed a new trailer will be on the Internet on December (as will footage from a press conference in New-Zealand), whilst a big launch of some sort will take place at the Cannes Film Festival in 2001 which will also premiere footage from the second episode “The Two Towers”. The definitive full trailer for the first movie will be released in fall 2001″.

Dazz sent in this paragraph from Wellington local newspaper Contact.

“And it will be another 13 months before his magnum opus premieres on screen at The Embassy, followed by 8,000 to 10,000 other screens around the world.”

Oh boy. We THOUGHT we heard that in the Holmes interview but it was sort of off-the-cuff…. could this be confirmation? The premiere…not in some famous cinema in Hollywood or New York, but at the grand old lady of Courtenay place, the Embassy?
Wow, I’m overjoyed. Wellington’s hosted the production, let it enjoy the party!
