Seems our good buddies over at TheForce.net have thrown the gauntlet down this time. They wish to blow LOTR away on the Movies.go.com poll we posted about a few days ago. So if you haven’t gone and voted for LOTR, head over there and show these Star Wars ‘guys who’s really in charge’. [More]

Today, IGN have released the beautiful pre-rendered trailer of Sierra’s Fellowship of the Ring game for the XBox, shown at this years E3 convention in May. However, there’s one snag: you must be a member of IGN Insider to see the trailer.
However, here is the description of the trailer itself, straight from IGN, along with some beautiful pictures they published with their article.
“Today we are able to bring you a high-res, direct feed, version of the pre-rendered trailer that was being showcased on the giant video wall at E3. While there is no gameplay footage shown, everything in the trailer is using the same art style that you could see in all of the production art for the game.
The trailer opens will the One Ring being smelted, and continues with Gandalf the White being pelted by a blizzard. It then flashes multiple images including an Orc taking aim at the Fellowship and Frodo slipping on the ring, only to slow down in a very cool scene in Moria. As the locked doors pound with the orcs behind them, Legolas readies his bow, Gimli his axe, and Aragorn unsheathes his sword. The trailer concludes with a creepy shot of a Ring Wraith on horseback as he pulls his sword with lightning crashing in the background.”

Fantasy and science fiction legend Poul Anderson passed away at his home on July 31. Anderson was one of the few writers who was doing mythopoeic fantasy before JRRT made it “fashionable”. He was Guest of Honor at Mythcon some years back, and you can bet that there will be a memorial at (or during) Mythcon this weekend.
Ringer Spy Derek sent along these great pics from various vendors around Comic-Con, mainly our good friends at the WETA/Sideshow booth. Check them out! [More]
