I found this little nugget of info buried within an essay that Roger Ebert wrote from Cannes.
Here is Bob Shaye, president of New Line Pictures. He has invested $170 million (270 million I think -Xo) in “Lord of the Rings,” which will come out at Christmas. “Everyone thinks we’ve bet the company,” he says, “but after selling the international rights, the video and the after-markets, we’re 85 percent covered. What kills me is the cost of sequels. `Rush Hour’ cost us $32 million. It’s a hit, so we make a sequel. The sequel costs $92 million.”
Extras from Lord Of The Rings are planning to have a reunion at the film’s premiere in New Zealand.
A number of local people were involved in the filming of the trilogy which took place there last year. [More]
Just called our local theater, the trailer will be on one of two prints of Pearl Harbor at Burlington, Vermont’s Hoyts Cinema Nine, showing in theater 4.
Got info on the trailer at your local cinema? drop me a line!
Laura got confirmation that ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’ will open later in Italy:
“Medusa Film has published in their website (news chapter) that FOTR will be delivered on 18 jan 2002 only.” Rotten luck.
“Lord of the Rings” rates as #51 on the Lycos list of most searched topics. Below ‘diets’ and ‘skateboarding,’ but still ahead of millions of other things. Meanwhile at amazon.com ‘The Lord of the Rings’ is up to #13 on the bestseller list.
Thanks to Diane and Anglachel for those scoops.
