Ringer Genome sends word: Just thought that you might want to know the release date of the TTT DVD in Sweden (as I have seen no release dates as of yet online) is August 26th. This may seem a bit late and may of course change, but last year the date we got was the final date. I work at a major retailer in Sweden and we just got our ordering material in for the first set. It’s a two-disc and we’ve also been informed that they’re expecting lower sales this year since the four disc set is due out in November.

He and Parkinson spoke mainly of his new play (and very briedly of X-Men 2), but when there was mention of Lord of the Rings Ian spoke enthuisastically about ‘getting into character’ and the huge amount of time spent making sure his performance was up to scratch.
He told us the fact that he hadn’t read the books before filming (and it’s not clear whether he ever has, since, either) but he was pleased that his performance was accepted by the fans of the books in general.
He also showed us his tattoo that the members of the cast all got done (the Elvish for ‘9’), his was on his right upper arm, but jokingly suggested Wood’s was ‘further down’ toward his waist. Highly entertaining man, as ever, and stole the show for me last night.
Joe Kavalier sends along this snippet of an interview with Doctor Who star Sylvester McCoy. McCoy mentions how close he came to playing Bilbo! (the mind just boggles at the thought of Tom Baker playing Gandalf and Syl playing Bilbo! -Xo). [More]
