The October isssue of Famous (Canadian movie Mag) features an article about Cate Blanchett (Galadriel) that includeds a small pick of her blessing Frodo as well as a quote about her role in the movie,
“I had never done anything with blue screen before, or prosthetics, or anything like that. Lord of the Rings was like stepping into a videogame for me. It was another world completely. But, to be honest, I basically did it so that I could have the ears,” she jokes. “I thought they would really work with my bare head.”
Thanks to Cosima for the article!

Polish Ringer Darth Ejka sent me a HEAP of great information from Poland:
I’ve found out some facts about our Polish promotion of “LotR”. First of all Enya’s song will be heard in the radio and in our Polish MTV with the beggining of November. Polish MTV will also organize a great contest about “LotR” and there’s going to be a big Tolkien-Olympics in all all Polish schools! “LotR” books are coming out 7th November and the soundtrack is avaible from 19th November. Posters are already in theatres and the trailer will be shown from 24th October in 35 theatres and after a week or to in another 100 before the film “Blow” or something like that. The promotion will also involve Pizza Hut, “Polityka” magazine and “Viva!”, which is planning a special number with intervievs with the creators, actors and a special look on costumes and so on (all in December). The mobile phones will also include “LotR” goodies.

I just got back from Indigo (book stores) and I was pleasantly surprise to see a huge display of Tolkien books. Not just LOTR and the Hobbit but evey single book or story Tolkien ever wrote! They had maps and guides to Middle Earth too. Then I looked over and saw a HUGE poster of Elijah Wood as Frodo with the Ring and it said ‘Read the Adventure, See the Movie’. It also pictured each LOTR book and the two movie guides. It said they were going to be out November 6th. So if anyone has an Indigo bookstore near them they should hop on over and check out all the deals.
