I know we’ve reported this beofre, but I just love this story. Here it is again, this time from Greek movie magazine ‘Cinema’.
“If you are a maniac Tolkien fan and you can’t wait for the release of the Lord of the Rings, if you are already looking for memorabilia and gadgets from the upcoming trilogy at e-bay, then it’s better that you don’t read further on. The star of the movie, Liv Tyler (Arwen), after the end of filming received as a gift the ears that she was wearing during filming, and instead of insuring them as a future collector’s item, she left them for a week on the dushboard of her car. When she went to look for them she found in their place a sticky substance….. Disaster, but I am sure that even this sticky substance can be sold at a good price….”
Thanks to Unono for the translation!

SideShow/WETA Toys has updated their ‘Lord of the Rings’ section with series two collectibles. We’ve seen these from promotion scans, but the high quality images we find on the website are just amazing. Boy I wish I had money! !SPOILERS! [More]
Galahad heard the news from Slovenia and rang round the local cinemas to find out the status of the films/ trailers:
“I called every single cinema here in Zagreb (capital of CRO) and only some of them even heard about the film being made. But I found out from “Broadway” theatres that the trailer is due out next week. They don’t know in front of what it will be showing yet. And it is the FIRST TRAILER! So, I really hope to get the movie as soon as Slovenia (January 17th), even though I doubt it. Guess you’ll be watching the Return of the King by the time we get the Fellowship :-).”
Awww. That’s shocking. Meanwhile, the news from Peru is mixed. PequePeque wrote to say:
“Hi, just to tell you that the first teaser trailer was screened last week for the first time here in lima, peru. it was with the off-voice in spanish and sub-titled dialogues. it advertised the movies for christmas 2001 so, i guess it will be a worldwide release after all. This is a confusing matter because i dont think they are screening the trailer with wrong dates, but after speaking with local distributors they told me the movies will be opening around february. The argument is New Line is waiting for snowball effect so they wont spend that much in marketing in the region.”
Same as in Japan.
