Check the group’s website at www.glasshammer.com to see the clips and to find out more about the upcoming video release.

The “Vanity Fair” special Hollywood (April) issue has a double-page spread on Cate Blanchett (Galadriel), the “Elegant Classic”
“For all the visual jiggery-pokery on display in FOTR, the greatest special effect of all turned out to be Cate Blanchett’s face, her features as timeless and mysterious as a sphinx’s (or Garbo’s). That such ethereal beauty could still be the product of nature and not some C.G.I. sweatshop, that a woman playing an elf can steal your breath away as no digital Balrog can, must have come as a relief to Hollywood’scarbon-based talent pool. Yes, actors still have their uses. Blanchett showed off three in the space of a single holiday season, nailing roles as diverse as the aforementioned figment of Oxford imagination; a Scottish spy passing for a French housemaid (Charlotte Gray): and, in a performance in which she usurped Cher’s mantle of white-trash-charisma-queen, an all-American slattern named Petal (The Shipping News). Oh, and there was alos her role as the unhinged housewife with flashing eyes in last October’s underappreciated Bandits. More people should have seen her steal the picture.”

Simon writes: I work in the airline biz, and I just wanted to let any fans know that if you’re going on holiday during May there’s a good chance you’ll get to see FOTR in-flgiht, as it is available to airlines from May 1. Sure, it won’t be the same on a tiny screen, but what better way to pass the time on a long flight!
