The most anticipated film of the 2002 fall movie season won’t arrive until Christmas — which, if you want to get all Farmer’s Almanac about it, technically belongs to winter. No matter. Yes, there will be more than 60 movies before then, all clamoring for Oscar gold, 10-best lists and most importantly, box-office glory. [More]

Last month’s video/DVD release of “The Fellowship of the Ring” has refueled the passions of fans who eagerly await the Dec. 18 opening of “The Two Towers,” the second film based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved “Lord of the Rings” fantasy. [More]
Fresh off the presses with their latest issue after the Gandalf cover, the folks at EMPIRE include feedback from fans in regards to their TTT coverage. And beleive me, we can sympathize with our print cousins from over the pond…we get the same type of emails every day! [More]

Press Release: The Topanga Canyon performance of The Hobbit won’t be the only production in California this September. The Chico Cabaret, located in the northern California “City of Trees” Chico will begin our version of Tolkien’s timeless tale on September 12th! Starring 30 children and three adults, this performance will be amusing and thrilling for the entire family. Enclosed is a copy of our poster ( which is a Photoshopped rendition of Mark Lawrence, who is playing Gandalf). During the next week I’ll try to send more photos, and hopefully, newspaper clippings,as the sets go up, the costumes and makeup are tried on, and the rehearsals become increasingly grueling and stressful! This will be a lighthearted and humorous production, and if you live anywhere in northern California it will be worth the journey. Think of it as your own personal Ring Quest!
On this day 29 years ago, JRR Tolkien departed this world. Thank you for everything you gave us, Professor.
