Another report that tells us the final cut of TTT must be finished, or nearly so. [More]
Month: October 2002
Matt sent this in….spot the LOTR references! [Apollo 15 photo of the moon] “Apparently, there are (and were, even in 1970) Tolkien fans everywhere!”
More evidence that TTT is either finished or close to:
Prokiwi writes, “my boss is good mates with the ***** ****** for TTT and he was talking about how the new movie is going to kick FOTR’s [butt] (in his opinion anyway – he likes his action sequences). Apparently he was in a video conference with PJ and Fran Walsh the other week (PJ was hooked up to a camera as he was out of the country at the time). Seeing as this was a wee while ago and they were just finishing up that suggests that there is a finished version of the movie out there by now. Anyway, just thought I’d put my twopenneth in! ”
Here’s sweating with anticipation till December ” – Prokiwi.
Randy writes: This is a reply I got from a chain in Michigan when I requested they put FOTR back up before TTT. New Line has told us that FOTR will be pulled from theatrical release on November 1. This means no prints will be available for anyone to play. We’re not sure how these other theatres plan on getting prints when New Line is telling us this, but if we could play it, we would.
One of the biggest films of all time is coming to a school near you. The Lord Of The Rings: The Fellowship Of The Ring has been included in the new list of prescribed texts for English in the Higher School Certificate. [More]
Myzerykat writes: I was listening to NPR on my way home this morning and they were reporting on a problem with counterfeit Harry Potter books in China. In the counterfeit Harry Potter Book V Gandalf makes an appearance. AS HARRY’S GRANDFATHER! J.K. Rowling is not amused. JRR Tolkein is probably rolling in his grave. And apparently there is nothing anything anybody can do about the situation do to the currently political/economic climate in China.
