Thanks to Tiggy for the alert.

E!Online has been doing daily reports on the action at Cannes. They note that today major attention has shifted to the goings-on at the centre of the Rings promotion, the Chateau Castellaras [More]

Sounds like Harry’s suffering the same telecommuncations nightmare that’s plaguing all the webmasters at Cannes. Nevertheless, he manages to send his review of the LOTR footage BLASTING through the ether! [More]

Mathias wrote to say that you can download a pdf file of the official LOTR booklet handed to the media guests. It’s on the official site Ioreth added “4,81 MB but WORTH the wait (for us with slow modems that is)”

A bunch of people are reporting the exact URL of the booklet, it is located here for those who don’t want to search through the official site on their own. πŸ˜‰
