Our adventure begins this Wednesday, when Calisuri embarks on an adventure of such grand scale and excitement that he will surely get lynched by the rest of us when he gets back!

The 4 day stint will comprise of meeting the cast of LOTR, including Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee, Liv Tyler and more! We will be bringing you exclusive interviews with each of the cast members. Calisuri will also be meeting with Peter Jackson, Frances Walsh, and the rest of the LOTR team!
A lavish party will be held at the Castle ‘Le Cool’ just outside Cannes, where major set pieces have been flown in to re-create scenes from LOTR! Calisuri will be bringing us day-by-day coverage of the entire event!
In conjunction with the Official LOTR Website, we will be providing exclusive coverage of the event, including pictures, reports and interviews!
