I heard from my managers that in the coming months, our popcorn bags and other merchandise will feature different characters and scenes from the upcoming Return of the King Movie. Regal Entertainment Group Theaters include Regal Cinemas, United Artists Theaters, and Edwards Theaters. Now there’s a reason to pay the high concession prices!

Wanted to send you some photos of our Halloween party held at the Sunnyvale Community Center in Sunnyvale California
Attached are some photos of the sets my wife, some friends and I made for the party which include, a flaming Mount Doom complete with lava, a Baggend with Bilbo peeking out the window, A 14 foot Orthanc Tower, A glow in the dark door of Durin and a Lothlorien
All these were made form cardboard and packaging materials and took three weekends to produce. Many photo’s were especially taken at Baggend.
I personally thought that the Door of Durin with the glow in the dark engraving was the most impressive but most turned their attention to Baggend. A group shot was also taken of those dressed in LOTR Characters.
More pictures will be put up on our web page www.swdance.com in a couple of days.
My wife Deborah was dressed up as Arwyn (in the dream sequence dress with red sleeves)and I as Aragorn with Orthanc. My wife is a die hard Tolkien Fan and eventually got me to enjoy the LOTR Trilogy.
Tedsallis Please find attached pics of the beautifiul Popcorn tin that is going to go on sale at Blockbuster Video stores this Tuesday. The tin is quite large and the graphics on it are stunning and sells for only 9.99. Best of all it has three kinds of popcorn inside, Cheese, caramel and butter flavor. Might make the perfect companion for viewing the Extended edition of Two Towers on DVD or perhaps survival supplies for Trilogy Tuesday! [More]

Sphinx writes: The ROTK release date in India is Feb 2004, as reported by one the major national dailies ‘The Times of India.’ This is earlier than both FoTR and TTT, which is a sign of how popular the trilogy has become. UPDATE: Joyita writes in to say that word from one distributor was that ROTK would be released in India even earlier, on January 9th.
