After the video below are links to fun interviews with the likes of Peter Jackson, Orlando Bloom & Liv Tyler, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Andy Serkis, Ian McKellen, Billy Boyd, Elijah Wood and John Rhys-Davies as well as footage of fans touring Edoras.

Out of that vast TORn photo library that includes digital images, and old scratched negitives, I put a few images together with some music from Arjan Kiel, (with thanks to fan film ‘Born of Hope,’) to pay tribute to the whole community of TheOneRing.net.

Lisa writes: This year, I walked in my 16th and 17th Avon Walks for Breast cancer… each walk is a 2-day, marathon and a half (39.3 miles) walk to raise money and awareness to fight breast cancer. Since 2002, I’ve raised more than $130,000 for the cause. 
From Annarep: Billy Boyd appeared on BBC Alba in a “Day in a Life” program. Great interview with a lot of information and some Beecake rehearsal footage. He also talks about LOTR and gives some interesting details – like being the first person cast for the movie. When Peter Jackson gave him a call, no one else was cast yet, so Billy talks about watching the news for the next three weeks trying to figure out who’d be in the movie.
