Ringer publicist and film/video director, Asfaloth, sends us this article from the June 2002 Issue of ‘Film & Video Magazine’ (http://www.filmandvideomagazine.com).
While extremely technical at times, there are a few nuggets of info for the average fan. Specifically, check out the great new picture of Elves decked out in full battle gear at Helm’s Deep, and the revelation that Gollum will be a mixture of motion capture and traditional key framing.

Greetings – Quickbeam here. We have new and updated Green Books for June:
• My Out on a Limb article features a unique “Conversation with a Newbie” who just read the trilogy for the first time! Do you remember the feelings you had?
• The very clever Anwyn wonders if there is a right way or wrong way to read Tolkien in her new Counterpoint article.
• Go Tookish! He has the ever-so-zany job of running the greatest Tolkien humor section you’ve ever seen: Tookish’s Ticklers.
• Moon Letters brings you new Fan Fiction, poetry, writing and more!
• There are no new Questions & Answers this month — but be sure to check out the informative, easy-to-navigate Most Frequently Asked Questions and quench all your burning questions in one go!

Much too hasty,
Quickbeam
Galen wrote in to let us know that US cable channel Tech TV’s “Tech Live” broadcast the Two Towers Teaser Trailer earlier this evening. “It was the teaser but it seems that they cut it up and rearranged it in an unflattering fashion. Tech TV replays a lot of content the next day during the AM though.”
If you get Tech TV, keep an eye out for this.

I’ve not had the pleasure of meeting Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) yet..but he is high on my list of ‘must meets/talk to’. I’ve heard reports that he tries to personalize every single autograph to prevent people from selling them on ebay..(would you sell something that Viggo personally wrote for YOU?). Message board regular Nessimë was at the Wellington book signing event and asked Viggo to sign something for TORN (un asked by the way, what a sweetie!) and Viggo complied! Check these out! [More]
