The Belgian Balrog writes: Curious to see if the TTT trailer would also be attached to Belgian prints of FOTR, I contacted someone of the Kinepolis cinema chain, which is the biggest movie theatre owner in Belgium. I was surprised to hear that not only would we indeed get the TTT trailer, we would be getting it as soon as MARCH 20!
Month: March 2002
Robert writes: I’m glad to say that in Italy(where unfortunately FOTR was presented since January, 18) the trailer (or the preview, as you prefer) will be showed since 29, March.

Lord of the Rings” franchise star Viggo Mortensen is in negotiations to star in Myriad Pictures’ “Borgia” for director Neil Jordan and Imagemovers. The project aims to go into production in the summer.
The historical drama, set in the 15th century, follows the corrupt Borgia family that includes siblings Lucretia and Cesare and their father Roderigo, who went on to become Pope Alexander VI and ran the 16th century Vatican as a crime syndicate. Mortensen will play Cesare, a hypocritical priest who plunders the nation to further his family’s power.
Imagemovers’ Robert Zemeckis, Jack Rapke and Steve Starkey are producing along with Jordan’s producing partner Stephen Woolley. Myriad co-presidents Kirk D’Amico and Philip Von Alvensleben will executive produce with Myriad production president Lucas Foster.
Myriad, which is financing the $55 million picture through international sales, is retaining worldwide distribution rights to “Borgia.” ICM, which reps Jordan, is handling North American distribution rights for Myriad.
Mortensen, repped by CAA and manager Lynn Rawlins, will star in the next two installments of New Line’s “Lord of the Rings” franchise — “The Two Towers” and “The Return of the King.” His credits include “28 Days,” “A Walk on the Moon,” “G.I. Jane” and “Portrait of a Lady.”
Amid all the Oscar buzz surrounding Peter Jackson’s blockbuster adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien’s “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,” one fact has gone largely unnoticed: The film that has garnered 13 Academy Award nominations has also joined “Cleopatra” (1963), “Romeo and Juliet” (1968) and “Heaven Can Wait” (1978) in the tiny category of best picture nominees that are new versions of earlier films.
