TORn staffer Berendir sends in some information on an Elijah Wood interview he saw on MTV yesterday afternoon. [More]
From Berendir:
I was watching MTV around 1:30 EST, and a news report came on featuring an interview with Elijah Wood on the Fellowship of the Ring. They played rock music over a few scenes we’ve seen repeated frequently in commercials, then talked about Frodo’s taste, or distaste rather, of the food in New Zealand, and his spare time working as a DJ in the local clubs. After they showed some footage first seen from the fox special with the rock music theme. It is safe to say Howard Shore’s soundtrack does a better job of fitting the feel of the Lord of the Rings.
NicleRoi writes: I just saw an advert for a Behind the Scenes LOTR video on FOTR which you can get for free with tokens from the daily and Sunday UK Mirror. I didnt hear whether it specified exclusive or not but it will probably be advertised more so I’ll watch out.
Ghost of Deagol has great news about the Danish premiere of Fellowship of the Ring, which will be attended by Christopher Lee and Viggo Mortensen! [More]
From Ghost of Deagol:
Just writing to inform you that Christopher Lee (together with his Danish wife through 30 years, Giee Krönke) and Viggo Mortensen will attend the FotR premiere the 18th of Dec. in Denmark.
An addition to the two FotR stars, representatives from the Danish royal family will attend: Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik. The royal family has decided to show up since the gala event is also a fund raiser for The Red Cross. The ticket price is 500 DKr, so for once the celebrities must grab their pockets.
Queen Margrethe is actually a great Tolkien-admirerer, and has illustrated the special edition of The Lord of the Rings back in the 70s, when she as a princess still attended university in England.
The special edition was published in 1997 with illustrations by Ingahild Grathmer, the queen’s pseudonym at that time. This edition has just been republished.
