Thanasis sent us some news about Tolkien Mania in Greece:
“The most known cinema magazine and online magazine in Greece has LOTR in the coming attractions of this year in this week’s issue.The article gives general information about the movie, but it’s the first in Greek. Among other things it says that a Greek LOTR site is coming to cover the needs of Tolkienmaniacs, but it doesn’t say if it is going to be a new site or the official site in Greek .

As you can see,Tolkien mania is going to cover every country…
As a Greek fan I’m very happy.”
