If you happened to be watching Film 2002 on BBC this morning, like OlorinTheWise was, you would have seen that The Fellowship of the Ring won the accolade of Film of the Year voted by viewers of the programme. Presenter and comedian Johnathan Ross presented Peter Jackson with the award during the TTT premiere in London last week.
Day: December 22, 2002
Remember the ten minute preview of The Two Towers that featured on the theatrical release of The Fellowship of the Ring back in August? Well, a viewing of this after seeing The Two Towers indicates some deleted scenes which we may see in a The Two Towers Extended Edition. Brian mailed in to remind us of these scenes: Eowyn about to kill an Orc in Helm’s Deep, Gandalf talking to Aragorn at night about the union of The Two Towers and Saruman talking about Gandalf Greyhame.
Carl writes: I just wanted to make sure that everyone know that in the new issue of Mad Magazine there is a great spoof on TTT, using screen shots from the movie itself and adding new dialogue to it.
Lluis writes: You have already reported the two Peter Jackson cameos, but his two children are also in the film, they are in blond wigs in the caverns of Helm’s Deep, they appear twice in the caverns with a woman. I also think I saw Phillipa Bowens in the caverns on the left of a shoot. Alan Lee and Dan Hennah, both appear in the scene where Legolas says that 300 against 10,000 are hopeless odds and that they would all die. They appear behind Aragorn and play two elder men being armed.
TheOneRing.net staffer MrCere writes: Like many TORn folks I am hammered. The build up and delivery of a line party coinciding with PJ’s movie is an amazing and draining process. The Salt Lake City line bought out the historic Villa theater, the grand old lady of single theater movie houses in the intermountain west. [More]
