I don’t know if you’d want to mention it on your site or not, but A Common Reader is reissuing ‘Bored of the Rings’ by the editors of The Harvard Lampoon. Just think how many of today’s Tolkien fans are unacquainted with this masterpiece of lampoonery (and buffoonery)! [More]

The only thing I know at this point is that her (Cate’s) pregnancy is an issue, because it would mean they couldn’t start shooting for a while, next Spring I think. But I haven’t heard any other names being floated, so I think they’re pretty set on doing it with her. Right now they’re just battling with Disney over the budget, as always.
