Continue ReadingAt this rate, we might end up seeing the WHOLE movie before December! Yet again, there are new pictures available at Elostirion.com. First, we have a wonderful shot of Gandalf (probably) leading the Fellowship. The second image shows the layout of Orthanc and a look at the Palantir. !SPOILERS [More]
Thanks to Dave for the heads up!
French site Elbakin.com has the most amazing pics of the confrontation at Weathertop. It looks like some incredible action. !!!SPOILERS!!![More]
You have to scroll down for it, but it’s there: More confirmation of the news (first reported in ‘Variety’) that there will be a ‘Director’s Cut’ DVD of LOTR. “The DVD versions of the trilogy will probably contain more extreme footage than the tamer version released in cinemas to earn a PG rating.”[more] Thanks to Elric for that.
This glowing report interested me because it was from somebody ‘in the business,’ you might say, neither a fan nor media. [More]
This report quotes somebody who saw the 25 minutes shown at Cannes through his games manufacturing connections:
“He said he and his boss were tearing up within the first few minutes of the showing and they didn’t stop for the entire footage. Once done he said that the press and people gathered went nuts applauding and asking for more. He said that if he had any doubts about it being a great movie they were squelched. He said everything was perfect, from the score to the actors…. he said that it was the most beautiful thing he has seen on film. The visuals were stunning… the people he works with are betting on how fast it will outrank Titanic and Star Wars….Just thought you might be interested.”
Indeed we are. Thanks for that.
If you want to know exactly how much longer you have to suffer, Ectopia offers a solution: “Here are two great freeware programs to download for the movie release countdown. One is just a countdown clock, the other is a screensaver countdown clock. I am using the screensaver and fully recommend it. It is fully customizable for any date and completely free.” Thanks to Sarah for that.
