A few days ago I asked people to send in scans of an article in friday’s Daily Express. I’d like to thank those of you who did, it kept my mailserver busy for a while, but as always the solution is far more simple: Richard from tLOTR.com sent me an email telling me he already has some good scans online. You can find ’em here!

From The Official Christopher Lee Website:
Next Sunday, Christopher Lee (Saruman) will be appearing in front of a DVD camera. He will be commenting on his last two weeks in Greece and answering the latest questions from the forums. The recording will be published in two formats, normal rm files and full screen quality DVD. Due to bandwidth requirements for the DVD quality, this will only be available to members at level II board members (those with over 50 posts) and up.
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.
