Nicolas sends us word on the release date in France, as well as some insider info on movies dubbed in french.
I saw in a french TV show that the movie release in France would be the 19th December. It is logic because the 19 th is a Wednesday, the normal release day for movies in France.
Apart from that, I saw the trailer 1 dubbed in French. Usually I always prefer original versions, but this dubbing was AWFUL! (I can attest to this, we get the same french movies here, and most of the time it’s horribly done -Xo) I hope they will make efforts for the real thing, because if they don’t they won’t get anyone to see the movie.
And I hope there will not be only the dubbed version released. It is not usually the case, but it happens sometimes even for blockbusters (Dinosaurs for example was released only in dubbed version)

Ringer Spy Dargon tells a story of a trend that we hope to see across North America! Paul sends in a similar story of Frodo whipflash from Oz! [More]
From: Dargon
I was walking down the hallway in my school the other day when something gave me whiplash. The Fellowship movie poster with Frodo holding the ring was on a bulletin board in the school. The library must have put it up. I go to a public high school in Montgomery County Maryland. It would be cool if this was happening all over the country. I know that about 1/2 of the student population that I have talked to actually knows about the movies in one way or another. It would be cool to get a census and see if this trend continues nation wide.
Ringer Spy Paul sends along something similar from Oz.
A school here in Brisbane Australia that my younger brother attends, St Jospehs College Gregory Terrace has a Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings section. With posters from both films and print-outs of pictures from fan sites such as TORN. they have multiple copies of the millennium edition for borrowing and copies of just about every Aussie mag with an article on the two films. Seems like the trend is world-wide!
Ringer Spy Becky sends along details from the latest Total Film magazine. She also goes on to give us details of the LOTR mentions at local UCI Cinemas. [More]

I was able to pick up the Total Film (Ben Affleck cover) in question this weekend – of course just for the trailer CD (and the free cinema ticket too:)). I can inform you that the trailer is not the new one – which we Brits should see in front of Pearl Harbor, but the ‘teaser’ – which can also been seen on the trailer reels shown at Basildon UCI cinema (I’m assuming this goes for all UCI cinemas).
Talking of UCI cinemas – they have just produced a leaflet detailing family movies that can be seen between now and February next year. Apart from the obvious (Harry Potter, Shrek) and the bizarre (Help I’m a Fish) they list Fellowship – along side a rather cute picture of Legolas (headshot). The blurb gives a rather succinct summary of the story (dangerous quest, go see Elrond etc) of the film and then entreaties people to read the novels to find out what’s going on!
It gives the release date as being 19th December and all in all a very nice piece of advanced publicity and a lot better than what Harry Potter got!
