So its a slow news day. Maybe its even a slow day at work for you. (Speaking of work…if anyone needs a web designer in LA, email me!) Why not take a good 3-4 hours and surf through the entire Movie Scrapbook from beginning to end. See how everything started, read the articles, check out the pictures, relive the entire experience of 2 years in a few hours! Now if you aren’t patient enough, Ringer fan Dru did something rather cool. He compiled all the images into one page organized by cast, character, location, etc! Its amazing. MAJOR SPOILERS[More]
From Demosthenes:
On May 25th, 2001 we had our first real preview of the Fellowship of the Ring. The two minute teaser was our first real look at the story and the look of the forthcoming films. This week, Hall of Fire heads into
movie-land, hosting an in-depth discussion of this recently released trailer .
Fellowship of the Ring: Trailer 1 — dream … or nightmare?
What’s your opinion? Is it good for Tolkien fans? Is it good for non-Tolkien fans? Come to Hall of Fire this weekend and share your thoughts. Some of the trailer highlights we’ll be discussing include:
The scenes at the Council of Elrond; the voice of Gollum and Elijah Wood’s accent; the dialogue and how it compares with the dialogue in the book; and the visual effects.
For those who want to refresh their memory (and aren’t worried about spoilers) here is the link to theonering.net’s extensive frame by frame analysis of the preview.
