Michael writes: One of my non-Tolkien friends alerted me to an article about Ian McKellen in this month’s printed issue of The Advocate. An excerpted version of the article is available online here. And there’s a tongue-in-cheek and humorous “Gay guide to Middle-earth” here.
Asarina writes in to tell us that Minnesota Ringers can catch an advanced screening of the feature film one week before it’s release. [More]
From Asarina:
Minnesota “Lord of the Rings” fans can catch an advance screening of the feature film one week before its Dec. 19 official release date.
The film will be shown at 7 pm Wednesday, Dec. 12, at the Historic State Theater in downtown Minneapolis. The advance screening is a fund-raiser event for Carleton College in Northfield. The film’s executive producer Barrie Osborne graduated from Carleton in 1966.
Tickets are available at two levels: a $50 ticket includes the 7 pm screening and a post-screening social hour at Backstage at Bravo in Minneapolis; a $200 ticket includes those events plus a pre-reception with Osborne at The Palomino restaurant.
Tickets can be purchased by calling the Carleton College Office of Alumni Affairs at 1-800-729-2586.
TORn staffer Pippin Took noticed that one of C.S. Lewis’s classics ‘The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe’ is to be remade into a feature film. Is this the beginning of a trend prompted by Lord of the Rings?
