Weta, the special effects workshop for the ‘Rings,’ has updated its website and it’s quite stunning. Check out the photo of the staff picnic surrounding one of their creations, the collapsed oliphaunt and its seige-tower. Lots of closeups of actors, and their ‘Merchandise’ section is informative and looks gorgeous with all the artwork. [More]

Check out the new version of the Weta logo – mixed into the new “x-ray-look” weta (an insect) is the outline of a man in a recliner seat. Guesses, anyone?

Hi folks,

Here’s the final news release from Sound Resources regarding Glass Hammer’s new disc “The Middle-Earth Album”:

The Hobbits of Bree have been working around the clock. Even the grumbling Dwarves of “Ironfist and Company” were called in to assist. There was rumor of a Dragon, but that didn’t stop ’em. Three Barrow-wights haunting the studio at Sound Resources? Didn’t faze ’em! What about that Troll that was seen lurking about in the shadows of Glass Hammer’s rehearsal hall? They barely took time to notice! How could they? For the day of reckoning is upon them!

No more time for tweaking the mix! No more time to run spell check on the text. Don’t stop for another ale, and whatever you do – don’t stop to pick a fight with the Goblins! Time is up! It is June the 15th and THE FANS WANT THEIR NEW GLASS HAMMER ALBUM!

Guess what? It is here!

Thus, the Hobbits, Dwarves, Wizards, and a few very tired Humans at Sound Resources are pleased and proud to announce the release of “The Middle Earth Album”. Songs about Trolls! Songs about Rangers! Songs about Dwarven heroes, Elven princesses! Wizards, Goblins and even Barrow-wights! It’s all here, including seven songs recorded live at the Prancing Pony!

Also…if you wish to explore the music of Glass Hammer in depth, and if you are in the mood for a great story set in Middle-earth, make sure to look on the site for details about “The Glass Hammer Adventure Pack”. This Special Offer is only available on the Glass Hammer website and includes “The Middle Earth Album”, “The Making of a Glass Hammer Adventure” CD, and a free copy of Steve’s story, “Rangers, Dwarves, Trolls and Maidens, or, A Halfling’s Holiday In Bree”.

Visit the band’s website for all the details!

We’ve got confirmation from Roadshow, the NZ film distributors, that they’re planning to open ‘The Fellowship of the Rings’ in NZ on the 19th. The thing is……due to the international dateline being where it is, that means that NZ audiences could see the movies before anyone else in the world, aside from the Hollywood premieres! Well, I’m happy!! : D
