According to Entertainment Newswire, Orlando will be featured in a jeans ad for The Gap set to start running April 28. He and Kate Beckinsdale (Pearl Harbor) will be featured in an ad called “Denim Invasion,” which will be directed by Cameron Crowe.
The spots debut April 28 in the United States on Law & Order, Criminal Intent and the X-Files. Throughout May, the spots can be seen during episodes of 24, West Wing, Friends, ER, Will and Grace, Felicity and the NBA Playoffs. The TV spots also will air in the United Kingdom and Canada.
The campaign was created under the direction of Lisa Prisco, the creative director behind some of Gap’s most memorable TV ads, including Khakis Swing, Khakis Groove and Khaki Soul. Prisco and the directors collaborated to create commercials that would feel like short films. Contributing to this effect is the “one take” technique, which required unedited, carefully choreographed camera movement from start to finish. In addition, each spot is set to two different soundtracks of ’60s-inspired music, creating dramatically different emotions of the same scene.
Gap’s summer campaign also includes black and white photography taken by David Strick, with images featured in Gap store windows globally and online at gap.com.

Thanks to Green Books staff member Ostadan for sending this along:
A recent USENET article from one of Knizia’s leading playtesters.
The release date is Essen this year (so end of October), always has been to my knowledge. I suspect that Fantasy Flight will release the American edition about the same time.
With this expansion you will be able to play a number of different formats.
Basic
Basic + F&F [Friends and Foes]
Basic + Sauron
Basic + F&F + Sauron
You can now double the combinations as you can play with or without the Dark Events option (evil laugh….) on all four of the above. There should also be the Dark Gate (name may change) option to use with the F&F as well.
Then there is the Extreme version (start Sauron on 10 and game is lost if *any* Hobbit is eliminated plus Ring needs to be dunked in Mt Doom). Just a little more difficult 🙂 Dark Gate will make the military victory a little harder to achieve with the F&F expansion.
Please note that the above is based on the last playtest sessions, the final release may be different. We will have to wait until the official release announcements are made before we know for sure.
