We posted a link to a TV3 report on their trip to the cinema last week to ask moviegoers what they thought of the LOTR trailer.

The ‘LA TIMES’ (via DarkHorizons) has some new pics for movies to look out for in 2001. Our very own LOTR film is listed of course, as well as the Cate Blanchett (Galadriel) film ‘Heaven’. In the film Cate ‘takes justice into her own hands’, it is directed by Tom Tykwer. ‘Heaven’ was filmed in Germany and Italy, and is currently in post production.
