Our own Ian Holm is currently starring in the stage play “The Homecoming” at Dublin’s Gate Theater on O’Connell St. for the next 2 weeks! Should be a show you won’t want to miss! Thanks to TORN Fan Dave for the tip!
Month: June 2001
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.
It’s nothing really groundbreaking, but hey a story is a story.
The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette’s website Post-Gazette.com have posted an article on last weekends BookExpo America, where Houghton Mifflin revealed a major campaign in co-operation with New Line to tie in with the first film in December including reprints of the books they first published more than 70 years ago.

After going on sale only a handful of days, New Line’s Studio Store has already sold out of the “Frodo Lives” t-shirts. The next batch won’t be available until the end of June. We saw this happen before with the Teaser Trailer… is this going to be the trend for any future merchandise too?
The lucky folks at Coming Attractions have picked up a Lord Of The Rings bookmark from the New Line booth at the New York licensing show. It’s a nice simple black bookmark with the image of an orc at the top, the familiar catch-phrase “One Ring To Rule Them All” underneath, and the new Lord Of The Rings logo. Hands up, who wants a fellowship collection of bookmarks with each character on it!? [More]
