This is a very cool idea from the folks at New Line:
Exclusive Bonus Letter from Peter Jackson! Production is underway in New Zealand on the live-action trilogy of Lord of the Rings films. As a special bonus to all New Line Cinema Studio Store Customers, all copies of “The Lord of the Rings” purchased here come with a full-color copy of a letter from director Peter Jackson about his love for the books and his plans for the film! Each letter comes with a New Line Cinema logo hologram as proof of authenticity. [More]
Thanks to Julius for the tip!
The latest Onfilm magazine in NZ talks a little about The Film Unit which Peter Jackson bought recently and which we’ve mentioned before, but the article describes what the facility offers in detail. Onfilm has paired it up with that nice photo of Peter Jackson and the Prime Minister, taken at the launch party.
One of the people who HAS seen the six-minute reel of The Lord of the Rings footage is Jane Gilbert, of Film New Zealand. She was present at the NZ Consulate-General’s function in Los Angeles where it was screened. According to Onfilm, she said, “It was fantastic and exciting. I haven’t experienced that kind of rush in a cinema for years.”
This from somebody who works round the industry full-time. Mmmm, how many days to go? (Bet we don’t get six minutes.)
For those of you curious to see our Aragorn, Viggo Mortensen, in another role, he’s starring opposite Sandra Bullock in “28 Days.” It opens in the States on the 18th of this month, according to IMDB.
Thanks to Taleena for that snippet.
