Well, we pride ourselves in being a site, “…forged by and for FANS,” and as a die-hard Tolkien nut myself I can attest to this truth. Due to response from YOU, we have decided to postpone the next Hall of Fire meeting. This will give you plenty of time to research some good references for our chat, so hit those books elf-friends! Much joy and good cheer to you and yours.

The December/January issue of French Primere mag has a nice tid bit on LOTR. The following is translated by yours truly 🙂 so bear with me:
The Fellowship of The Ring: The Complete Cast
Wellington, NZ. One week after the begginging of production the first film that will realise Peter Jackson’s dream of JRR Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings, New Line (erm, more like me – Xo) announced that Stuart Townsend (Shooting Fish) would be leaving the production. Townsend was signed on to play Aragorn, a warrior. New Line gave no reason for the departure, but rumors on ‘Daily Variety’ say it was due to creative differences between the actor and Peter Jackson. At the time of press, it seems that Viggo Mortensen will fill the role. The complete cast list was then sent out in a Press Release on October 7th.
As part 2 of this ‘French Primere’ feature, We have a page news bit on Ian Mckellen, it features Ian’s words written in his ‘Grey Books’ in french, a small paragraph of introduction is below, here again yours truly will translate 🙂
