Reports have been coming in from all over the net that both of the games recently released by Vivendi Universal are dangerously filled with bugs and errors on older XBox and GameBoy Advance systems. The Fellowship of the Ring for XBox has been rumored to, as one gamer put it: “It got through the beginning dialog fine, but every time I tried to start the game, it just froze up. Many fans have taken their games to exchange them for new copies, only to have the same problem loading the game.
One such player of the Fellowship of the Ring for GameBoy Advance told us he was not happy with the game at all: “There are some minor bugs and a few major ones as well. The minor ones, such as Gimli being invisible when you try to speak to him in Rivendell, are not so bad. But the Major bug, which has caused quite a few people I’ve spoken with to write angrily to Vivendi Universal, occurs in Moria. After a battle with an Orc, Gandalf says “The way ahead is blocked. We must go deeper into the mines”; the game freezes up completely.
We’ll have more for you as it develops.

Over the past few days I have been swamped with emails from people telling me that the second part of the score from the new TTT trailer is not really from the soundtrack for ‘Requiem for a Dream’ but it is a remix of the main theme of this soundtrack. So, it is not from the new soundtrack for TTT, it is not from the soundtrack of ‘Requiem’ but it is a remix of a theme from this soundtrack. Thanx to everyone who corrected me!

This from a man I have yet to meet, but I’ve heard is one of the most gentle and soft-spoken people you can meet. Considering he’s got a massive multi-million dollar trilogy of blockbusters under his belt, a ton of amazing other films, is an accomplished photographer and student of the arts…you’d think he’d have a bigger head and small heart, apparently nothing can be further from the truth. I can only assume his decision was not an easy one to come to, and fans all around the world can’t blame him for giving up, sometimes fan mail can be TOO much!
Stay tuned for our EXCLUSIVE interview with Viggo Mortensen while he was in NYC recently, and another video from his LA event! Viggo-mania hits torn!
A message from Viggo:
Over the years I have made the effort to read and answer every piece of fan mail that I received. Lately, however, the volume of mail has increased significantly making it practically impossible to keep up with it all and to respond to each piece personally. Although I am grateful for the favorable response that those of us involved in the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy have had, it is simply become a bit overwhelming. I find that I have little or no time left for other pursuits and have little free time left for art projects or for spending time with friends and family.
Therefore, as I do not wish to have mail answered for me by others, I have no choice but to say that I will no longer be accepting fan mail after October 31, 2002.
Please do not send anymore letters or cards as it will not be answered. I will, however, continue to honor requests for autographs in person as I have always done.
I thank you for your support and kind thoughts.
Viggo
