Lessa writes: A friend from NZ saw Bruce Hopkins (Gamling) at a debate this past week and had this to say:
He finally had to leave since he flies to Wellington tomorrow to film more LOTR! He is so excited about LOTR since his part has grown from a paragraph in the book to a decent-sized speaking part. They liked his work so far and especially his fight moves. He said it came naturally from his Xena and Hercules days! But now he needs to learn to ride a horse.
He said he and Karl Urban have the biggest actual Kiwi parts, but as a character actor, he knows he won’t get much press, even if he does get his own action figure. He is Gamling. But some LOTR people never got his name right and thought it was Gambling so he made up 40 t-shirts with Gambling on them with the “B” x’ed out. Even Elijah Wood got his hands on one and now they’re prized collector’s items by the crew.

SFX Magazine
One of the first magazines to cover FOTR over 2 years ago, SFX is again jumping the gun on most other magazines and covering all things ‘rings’.
Irascian writes: The latest issue of SFX magazine (October 2002) features “The One Ring” on the cover. Inside is a special 12 page feature “1001 Reasons why you MUST see The Two Towers” submitted by “Sibley, Johnson, Howe, the SFX Crew and others”. The attached image is from the cover of the subscriber edition which removes all the titles and sales pitch – the version in shops will have headlines all over it.

How stupid can a collectible item get? I challenge anyone to come up with a LOTR item as daft as this! According to the sales blurb, they’ll help you “relive the magic of Lord of the Rings.” Yeah, right. [More] Thanks to Brian for the link! No, really!

This is a labour of love! Jon writes, “Over the past year I have been constructing scaled down Locations and Character Minifigures from Tolkien’s Lord Of The Rings out of stock Lego Bricks and pieces. I browse TORN religiously, and thought that other Tolkien fans might like to have a gander at what I’ve constructed.” [More] Cute fun!
