So, when’s the fabled new Two Towers trailer appearing? People in the cinema industry have told us of a new final reel (including the TTT footage?) for FOTR arriving ‘soon:’ Now we hear this from G Dengy: “A friend said yesterday that she had seen the TTT trailer running with (of all things) a budget showing of “Shallow Hal.” She said it seemed to be over three minutes.”
Month: February 2002
Tomas sent this in: “Five days ago, on February 15, LotR was finally shown in Poland. Many Polish spectators went a month ago to Czechoslovakia in order to watch this wonderful movie sooner. But [still] “The Lord of the Rings” had the best weekend opening in whole history of Polish cinema!!!
“Weekend box-office is exactly 518901 people in a country of about 37 million. It’s showing on 107 screens and most shows are full.”

The Feb/Mar 2002 issue of Garden Design magazine features a short news piece on gardening for LOTR:FOTR.
“Where Hobbits Lived and Gardened” interviews greensmaster Brian Massey, and includes some nice photos of Samwise Gamgee’s hobbit hole, which “springs alive with nasturtiums, cosmos and sunflowers.”
Massey says he “and his army of greensmen were told not to make the hobbit gardens look too ‘twee,’ which means too cute or fairytaleish. For the rolling hills, the greensmen sowed green rye and other grasses. Outside the hobbit holes, they planted sprawling nasturtium and jasmine, bright sunflowers and cheery cosmos.”
