Kendall alerted us to the fact that at IMDB you can search the movie database by language. It lists three films that use Elvish dialogue. [Guess!] That compares to seven that use Esperanto [including Gatacca – who knew that?] and 10 with Klingon. [More]
Christina sent news of this: “Viggo Mortensen will be signing copies of his book Signlanguage at the Virgin Megastore in Union Square, New York City on April 18, at 6pm. ” [More]
News from Karan in Chandigarh, India, who said that audiences are having trouble ‘getting’ LOTR, which surprised him. He commented it might have done better if it had been dubbed in Hindi. [More]
The DVD release of Toy Soldiers we reported here is not the one for Sean Astin fans. JayJay said “looks like Laservisual.com have their details wrong – They list the cast (Sean Astin etc) of Toy Soldiers(1991) but the DVD release is the entirely different film Toy Soldiers(1984).” She complained to Laservisual who fixed the mistake.
This news came in thanks Karan:
“I’m writing in from Chandigarh, India. Last Friday LOTR finally came to our town and in the last 5 days, I’ve already seen it 3 times. Unfortunately, It hasn’t been a success here, with most people complaining about the film’s running time, which is quite surprising, since most Indian films easily cross 3 hrs and may go upto 4 hrs in length. Also, I guess, people who are not familiarised with Tolkien’s books were not able to catch all the plot nuances in the movie. Maybe if it had been dubbed in Hindi, it would have fared better. The movie will give way here after only one week to Harry Potter which will probably be much more successful due to the simple storyline and the books’ popularity among kids. I, myself, am glad that I was at least able to hook a few of my friends onto the LOTR saga through the movie. Now, they’ve all bought the books. At last, there will be somebody here for me to discuss Middle Earth with!!”
