Bringing J.R.R. Tolkien’s epic trilogy, The Lord of the Rings, to the big screen is unquestionably one of the largest projects undertaken in movie history — and perhaps the greatest business venture ever mounted on New Zealand soil. Kiwi director Peter Jackson (Heavenly Creatures, The Frighteners) pushed to make three films back to back based on Tolkien’s masterpiece, which depicts an epic battle between the good folk of the Fellowship, including Hobbits, Dwarves and the Races of Men, and the evil armies of the dark lord, Sauron, for control of the “one ring” that gives ultimate power over all.

A political page I occasionally visit quoted the very british “Guardian” in an editorial dealing with George Bush’s political future. I would not draw your attention to it, except for its literary allusion in an early paragraph. Amazing where those pesky hobbits turn up, isn’t it? [More]

Ringer Spy DW sends along word that our very own Cate Blanchett (Galadriel) is currently gracing the cover of ‘Bazaar’ Magazine.
There is a small picture of Galadriel in there that I haven’t seen before. The article doesn’t have much info on LoTR, just talks about Cate Blanchett’s upcoming movies and how wonderful she is.
Anyone with a scanner, you know what to do!

It seems that Regal Cinemas might have come to its senses again, because rumor has it that they will be showing Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring in their theatres this christmas. Good news for American fans ’cause if it’s going to be confirmed it’ll mean an additional 1000 screens to watch FOTR on…

GNER (a UK rail company) has an article about Tolkien in their free onboard magazine called LiveWire. The Cover says: ‘Totally Tolkien Liv Tyler stars in Lord of the Rings’ and there’s a four page article with pictures, some seen before, one of JRRT I’d not seen before and one of Ted Nasmith’s new ones. It gives a general story of the film-making.
Anyone who happens to have on of these and a scanner, please send it in!
