Bella writes: Elijah Wood will be appearing at SFX in Toronto, this August. Since he is the “guest of honour” it will most likely be a ticketed, one-time event during the con, since this is their usual practice. [More]

Falkner writes: I thought I’d write to you with some of the news I’ve received on the Lord of the Rings Trivial Pursuit DVD Game in Australia. It’ll have the same box art and internal characters as the US and British editions, though I’m told that the DVD will be re-engineered to some degree. The RRP in Australia will be $99.95 (same as the TP Star Wars Saga). The release date hasn’t been cemented yet but is likely to fall in the first week of July. I took some pictures of the Australian version (a friend has an ‘insiders’ copy). When I find out the first release date I’ll get back to you. [ Posted in:
