According to a New Line Cinema publicist, reports citing that the upcoming Lord Of The Rings: The Two Towers are incomplete are, in fact, erroneous, and that the movie will make its December 18th release on schedule, with no delays of any kind.

Previous coverage had cited that New Zealand moviemaker Peter Jackson was facing a frantic month of re-editing, due to the fact that the director had been busy ever since the first film picked up multiple awards at the Oscars and British Academy Awards earlier this year.

New Line has said that this is incorrect.

‘The second in the Lord of the Rings trilogy has topped box office sales in Norway, six weeks before its release. Tickets for The Two Towers are outselling tickets for all other films currently showing in the country. More than 35,000 tickets were bought during the first day of sales.’ [More]

Ringers from Great Britain and Ireland will remember with fondness the superb supplement on Lord of the Rings that was published with The Sunday Times in advance of the release of FotR. Well the chaps at The Times are doing it again, with this weekend’s Sunday Times Magazine the first of three editions featuring a pull-out supplement dedicated to The Two Towers, with a free poster to boot! A must-buy this Sunday for all Tolkien fans in GB&I.

Steve Martin has been officially announced as the host for the Academy Awards ceremony 2003, the ceremony which Tolkien fans around the world hope The Two Towers will scoop the so-far elusive Best Picture and Best Director Oscars. Martin also hosted the 2001 awards, while Whoopi Goldberg played host this year. [More]
