You might be interested to see a LoTR report (about 2 pages), along with previews of other upcoming films, in September’s Empire magazine (UK). It has the same image of Ian McKellen as Gandalf that appeared in previous issues.
Anyone with this issue and a scanner, send it along!

I just wanted to drop a line to let you know that there is a short little article in the latest Rolling Stone magazine (August 30th) about LOTR on pg. 87 under HOT BUZZ. It doesn’t give any new information and it has 3 pics (the hobbits standing with swords drawn, Gandalf standing at the gates of Moria, and Galadriel kissing Frodo on the head). Nothing really new….it does mention that the movie will give Harry Potter and “hard fight for bragging rights as 2001’s top adventure fantasy”.
From Eric F:
In case folks haven’t noticed, Filmspeed.com has the 2nd LotR trailer up in a 1500k mpeg4 encoded downloadable format. Looks and sounds great! Much better than the crappy Real stuff, almost DVD quality. Only thing is folks must be online to watch it as it requires a license registration.
From ZLenc:
This Sunday morning on “The Today Show” there was a preview of fall movies with someone from Entertainment Weekly. They mentioned LotR: FotR, and showed parts of the trailer without sound. He said it was in competition with Harry Potter, but recognized that FotR will be more for adults than Harry Potter.
MARSH HARBOUR, Bahamas (AP) – R&B singer and actress Aaliyah died when a small plane that was to carry her and eight others back to the United States crashed after takeoff in the Bahamas, authorities said. [More]
Aaliyah’s last few films are ‘Matrix: Reloaded’, with Hugo Weaving (Elrond) and ‘Queen of the Damned’ with Bruce Spence (Mouth of Sauron). I post this news here not just because of her connections with our 2 LOTR stars, but I also thought this young songstress had some great acting ability and was a rising star, she will be missed.
