Stephanie writes: On May 19th RTL 2 shows in their magazine “Das TV Movie Magazin” exclusively the Trailer for TTT. The magazine starts at 13:25 GMT time and can be seen throughout Europe and Northern Africa with a satellite dish. The TV station airs unscrambled. I have no idea if the trailer will be German voiced or in English.
From IMDB: Quentin Tarantino is dusting off another Marvel comic-book character, Mort the Dead Teenager, who was originally created with a movie version in mind, Roger Friedman of Foxnews.com reported Wednesday. Larry Hama, who wrote the four issues of the Mort series, told Friedman that when he was at Marvel, “I thought we should come up with some new characters who could be turned into movie characters.” Unfortunately, he said, the Mort comics — about a teenager who was decapitated in a train accident — were regarded by Marvel as “too dark and too hip,” went out of print, and became a cult classic. The film will likely be directed by Dean Paraskevopoulos and star Elijah Wood in the title role, Friedman said. Tarantino and partner Lawrence Bender’s A Band Apart Productions will coproduce the movie with Madonna’s Maverick Films; Dimension/Miramax will distribute.
Aussie TORNadoes from Barliman’s are organising a get-together to see FOTR on an IMAX screen. [More]
The Australian Ringers in Barliman’s are organising a get-together to see LOTR on an IMAX screen. Here’s the details:
Date: Saturday 11th May
Place: Imax Cinema, Northbridge.
Time: To Be Determined (The cinema couldn’t give us an exact time but it’s around 8)
Details: Wear a leaf on you (fake or otherwise) so we know that you’re a Perth LotR fan / Barlimans’ Regular! Fancy dress encouraged.
Ring-Leader will be wearing a hobbit dress and curly brown hair. If we get more than ten people the cost of the tickets will only be $7. Imax has a LARGE screen and huge sound systems, so this is a real bargain! Prime opportunity to see Fellowship of the Rings in a great cinema before its run is finally over!
