“Dominic Monaghan is a very busy boy. His mobile rings constantly, a pile of scripts are waiting to be read at home and he’s even got a list of things to do scribbled in blue biro on his arm. Why? Simple, because he has a part in the biggest movie of the year (yes, that includes Harry Potter). The Mancunian actor reveals to T2 what it was like to appear as hobbit Merry Brandybuck in the epic adventure The Lord of the Rings”. [More]
Starting with Australia, and sends us word that he has seen Trailer II with the film ‘Atlantis’ (Lord of the Rings turned up after Harry Potter..it’s a conspiracy I tell you..). Check your cinema to see if they have it first. From Australia to Chile, and all Chile Ringers should know that they can see the trailer in front of ‘Planet of the Apes’ at CineHoyts. Home (for me) to Europe, and Norwegians can see the trailer before ‘AI: Artificial Intelligence’. Finally, ‘Amelie’ and ‘Driven’ are both showing the trailer in front of them in the United Kingdom.
Thanks to Tass, Israel & Debbie, Audun and Eowyn. If you know where Trailer II is showing in your area, send it in!
Hanok and Stefan both mailed us to say that Swedish newspaper Aftonbladet have an online poll on their frontpage pitting Lord of the Rings Vs Harry Potter (not for the first or last time). Out of nearly 10 thousand people, 88% have gone Lord of the Rings way…but some swedish Ringers might want to notch up a few % anyway. [More]
Also, I’ll tell you the result of the Empire poll when it’s finished…but suffice to say it’s took a big swing in LOTR’s favour!
