With all the yummy news I just posted, Tehanu’s story about the LOTR:FOTR review over at ‘Ain’t it Cool News’ has been buried! Be sure to check out the review of the film which was screened today! (for all nay-sayers, the film was INDEED screened today, insider sources tell me -Xo) [More]
Day: November 9, 2001
Kris writes in to tell us that Access Hollywood mentioned LOTR in its quick round-up at the end of the show, they mentioned the Entertainment Weekly covers featuring our LOTR characters coming out next week. (click here to view them all!)
Christchurch-trained soprano Aivale Faletolu sings just 12 bars in the soundtrack of FOTR, but she had to overcome voice problems to win the part. Aivale had lost her voice during a show the previous year, but didn’t tell Peter Jackson about that before auditioning in front of the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra in Wellington. [More]
Mark sends along two covers from magazines ‘Filmview’ and Xpose’, as well as info on the details inside! [More]
