There is a short article/interview inside, in the article, it is mentioned that she was (at interview time) preparing to record a song for the “Two Towers” soundtrack. She comments upon being thrilled with the opportunity, since she has always dreamt of being a singer.
Xoanon here, can anyone confirm this?! We need a scan of this article ASAP!
The Hollywood Reporter has a story out today that the Martin Scorcese film ‘Gangs of New York’ is set to be released on December 20th, just two days after ‘The Two Towers’. Who will win that weekend box office I wonder?
With album titles like Journey of the Dunadan, Perelandra, and The Middle Earth Album, it’s no wonder that the Tennessee-based progressive rock band Glass Hammer draws many a fan from followers of fantasy and science fiction. With six albums under the band’s belt and another half-dozen related to the group, Glass Hammer is now celebrating its tenth year together with the release of a new epic album, Lex Rex, plus a video documentary, “This Way to Evermore.” [More]
Broken from the Fellowship and taking their own route to Mordor, Sam and Frodo happen upon Men from the land of Gondor, a foreign land of which they know little save from what they learnt from Boromir. The true intent of Faramir, Prince of Gondor, remains unclear to them and it is only an encounter with Gollum that proves to them his worth as an ally. This weekend, the Hall of Fire crew invite you to join us for The Window on the West. [More]
Broken from the Fellowship and taking their own route to Mordor, Sam and Frodo happen upon Men from the land of Gondor, a foreign land of which they know little save from what they learnt from Boromir. The true intent of Faramir, Prince of Gondor, remains unclear to them and it is only an encounter with Gollum that proves to them his worth as an ally. This weekend, the Hall of Fire crew invite you to join us for:
Book IV, Chapter V: The Window on the West
This chapter is noteworthy because it draws out in detail some of the finer characteristics of Faramir and the qualities that make him a very different person to his brother. Through his renouncement of the One Ring, and his fairness when treating with Gollum’s infringement on sacred ground, we slowly see the greatly-revered Prince of Men that becomes so highly thought-after in The Return of the King. If you’re a Faramir fan, or believe you can bring something more to the chat, join us this weekend in one of our two scheduled discussions and join the fun with your fellow Tolkien fans!
