Italian fans had to wait a month longer than everyone else to see FOTR. Now Italy’s caught LOTR fever, they don’t see why they should suffer the same delay with the next movie. Caltanet Cinema’s started a petition to change this. [More]

A new magazine’s hit the stands, according to Rosie, and it sounds pretty interesting [More]
Great news for fantasy buffs thanks to Rosie:
“I found a magazine at Brook’s Drugstore called “Fantasy Worlds”, brought out by Starlog. [I assume she’s talking about the US – Tehanu] This is the first issue (February 2002) and it is a “Premiere Collectible Edition” featuring LOTR and Harry Potter. The LOTR articles include…
“One Ring to Rule Them All” – ‘Peter Jackson & company film JRR Tolkien’s epic trilogy’ “Hobbit Talk” – joint interview with Wood, Astin, Monaghan and Boyd “Fellowship of the Four” – 4 separate interviews with McKellen, Mortenson, Bean and Rhys-Davies “Warrior Elf” – a two page article/interview about Orlando Bloom
They’re some great articles, with a lot of pictures, some new but no revelutionaty or anything. There’s also a lot of great articles on Harry Potter, a fantastic article on Neil Gaiman (heralding him as “Fantasy’s Great Hope”), news about the Dinotopia miniseries, and various other things… (apparently there’s a miniseries of Madeleine L’Engle’s “A Wrinkle in Time” coming this February *short scream*). Definitely worth the $6.99! Unfortunately I couldn’t find anything in the magazine telling you how to subscribe…too bad, because it seems like it would be a great magazine to get in the mail for next year or so, what with all the great Fantasy stuff going around!”
Tehanu’s colleague in Red Carpet Movietours got interviewed on KQED’s ‘The World’ programme today. You can hear an audio clip of the interview here under ‘Welcome to Middle-earth.”
The Hobbits overtake Harry Potter at the Canadian box office. ALLIANCE ATLANTIS’ theatrical release of THE LORD OF THE RINGS: FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING hits $40 MILLION in the first 33 days of release within Canada becoming the third-highest grossing film in Canadian history. [More]
