Month: October 2001
Oh my gosh:
Today went as I wanted to to an UGC Cine Cite in Paris… And the trailers were there. The room was huge, and so was the screen (YEAH!), and as we were at the most 45 (it was the earliest trailer show in the morning, at 9.10 AM, the others were in other cinemas around 10.30 AM, so I bet there were many more people there) it appeared quite void. But they showed the three trailers, including the last one, four times over: FOUR TIMES! And in subtitled English. Oh my Gosh!!!!
I could see details I hadn’t seen before: When you see Sauron’s piked helm, in the respectful (fearful?) army, I did see one or two bearded + mustached humans… And in the pictures in the mirror of Galadriel which shows the Shire aflame, a few men-sized people are carrying whips and making the Hobbits flee. And when Legalos says, “Something draws near, I can feel it,” you could see his breath on the air. Must be quite cold where he was… Of course u already noticed that, but I hadn’t on my poor-quality QuickTime trailer…
And more important: There was a camera team which made interviews, before and after the trailers, to make a short movie on the fan reactions… I was actually interviewed, and I think I made quite a good impression… and there was a guy at the head of Tolkienfrance: www.tolkienfrance.com who told me HE is doing the French translation of the Decipher card game! Coooooooool.
In a nutshell: IT WAS ABSOLUTELY GREAT!
Thanks for the report Cuivienor!
It seems that LordoftheRings-Soundtrack.com isn’t the only address to the new Fellowship of the Ring soundtrack site. Reprise Records, the record label of Enya, seem to have a mirror of the site on their own site, RepriseRec.com, at this address here.
For those of you unfortunate enough to have missed the live event, the chat went beautifully! But, if you would like to read the log of the chat, it’s up for all to see! [More]
The wonderful movie info site IMDB has yet another LotR vs. Harry Potter poll for us to win. So, go westward Ringers, and bring home the gold! [More]
Thanks to Jonas who sends us this clip from Danish TV showing the fans camped out in their tent village outside the cinema, waiting to buy tickets to FOTR. And so it begins…..[More] Meanwhile, the people from the GladBlad website are updating their website via laptop from the ticket line, and they’re now reporting in English as well as Danish. [More]
