Not only does the movie look good (I’m a very big Cold War/Kennedy/Cuban Missile Crisis buff) but you WILL see the NEW LOTR Trailer before the movie. It will be out January 12th in North America, I’m not sure if the trailer will be with ’13 Days’ or other movies the following week for the folks in the UK, but overseas fans will see the trailer very shortly, and not in a few months. It is very likely that it will then be posted on the new official LOTR site after this time.
Month: January 2001
The super duper entertainment site, E!online has just updated it’s “Force of Hobbit” section, which is just crammed with spicy LotR news! Curious about what Minas Tirith will look like? Wanna hear the latest scoop on the cast wrap up party? Check out all the details in this December update! [More]

From January’s DIRECTV television guide. A short article on Ian McKellen (Gandalf), mostly X-Men stuff with a blurb on Ian Holm (Bilbo) and Lord of the Rings.
It is very possible, and people from AICN to some close frineds on the inside have been hinting it, and now this:

Below is some publicity stuff I got from Random House/Ballantine Books, with the news that a commercial for LotR will run during the Super Bowl.
Tolkien, Tolkien, Tolkien-The Movie is Coming.
The Tolkien Boxed Sets, as well as individual books and tapes, continue to just blow away. But it won’t end with the Holidays, as 2001 begins the countdown to the movie!! Here’s what we know so far: the trailer will start showing 1/12/01 (attached to the new Kevin Costner movie about the Cuban Missile Crisis) According to insider gossip, this is the hottest and most anticipated trailer since Star Wars. Posters for the movie will also begin to go up into theatres at that time.
And to get the buzz really going. . .a commercial will run during the Super Bowl on 1/28/01. Since coverage of the Super Bowl commercials is sometimes wider and longer than coverage of the actual football game, people will definitely be talking about Lord of the Rings. Please keep the books and tapes up front and to stay well-stocked.

Today, January 3rd was the late JRR Tolkien’s Birthday. Years ago the gods blessed us with his gift of imagination and writing, and millions of people have been affected by him. Tolkien and his work lives as strong today as it did more than 40 years ago. And today we should think about the man and his work. It is because of you JRRT, that this site and all the people involved with it exist.
