The Herald’s done a roundup of known facts about the Rings and a bit more detail from last week’s press conference. We get a mention too, though it’d be nice if they hadn’t overlooked Calisuri and Corvar (so I’ll mention them here) and the 30+ other people that run TORN. As for me being a flautist, that’s just journalistic slander.
Anyway, the articles are here and here

Ringer Spy Deagol sends in more news regarding Cannes and LOTR! [More]
From: Deagol
I just tracked the origin of your last news concerning the trailer…
Cinébobine reported the news from here:
http://www.chez.com/angrenost/Textes/Courrier/cyrille.html
So, and for what it’s worth… the translation of the french text is not complete nor accurate. There’s a few tidbits inside:
According to the spy:..
– December 2000: world presentation of the new teaser and press conference live from NZ.
– Cannes 2001 : “a big launch of some sort “… in fact, it says: World launching, presenting the 1st movie and the trailer of the 2nd movie! (It could mean a world premiere in Cannes!), major press event.
– Fall 2001: world premiere of the final trailer.
– December 2001 : worldwide release of the first film.
(and that’s a great news… especially in France where we had to wait 5 more months to get SWE1) (the three movies are planned to be released in 25 different languages.)
– US marketing: over $ 50 million

Ah, the privileges of power….
The NZ Herald did a longer article on the sneak preview of the Rohan helmets which we were granted due to the Hat Day campaign. (We’ve got the worst skin cancer problems in the world here, hence the White Council’s, sorry I mean the Health Council’s mania for hat-wearing.)
The Herald got good pics of TWO helmets. One of which looks like the Viking one on my copy of ‘Beowulf,’ but I’m no expert on armour details so don’t read too much into that. (more)
