Harry sends along this information from a report we posted a few days ago about WHSmith bookstores taking TTT DVD pre-orders in Scotland, take a look!
I work at Wh Smith in the county of Kent in the UK, and I can confirm the story about the pre order leaflets you posted earlier. The info listed is simply ‘late august’, but unofficially we’re saying ‘the last tuesday of the month’, so that should tie up if you look it up 😉
The pre order includes a free exclusive mug, and the art w’ve been supplied with is Gandalf and the Ring on a blue Elven leaf background with the film’s logo, although it might be subject to change.

Oscar-winning Kiwi director Andrew Adamson is eyeing Canterbury for his next movie, but says tax incentives in other countries may lure the production elsewhere. Mr Adamson, who won an Academy Award in 2001 as co-director of animated feature Shrek, is filming an adaptation of C. S.Lewis’ childrens’ classic The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe in New Zealand.

Amiko writes: I just read the new issue of EGM (Electronic Gaming Monthly) and came across a “Celebrity Gamer” Article with none other than Elijah Wood (Frodo). In the interview Elijah talks about his opinion on the TTT game for PS2, GC (Game Cube), and XBox. And also comments on Sean Astin (Sam) and him playing Tony Hawk Skater 3 when they weren’t filming.
Anyone with scans, send them along!

From Dr. LS: Sir Ian McKellen is on Radio 2 right now talking ROTK and of going back to New Zealand in June to film some more scenes as they are “boosting the emotional content of the film”. He is apparently appearing on BBC1 tv tonight (about 11 pm) with talk show host Michael Parkinson… and on 4th May next, he’s appearing at the newly opening St. Paul’s Art Centre, London…

Ringer Cunning Vixen sent in a report on WETA’s presentation in Auckland today. Our buddies Daniel Falconer and Warren Mahy were on tap, and good ole’ Lawrence showed up too…
Hello from Auckland! Some news for you about Armageddon in Auckland.
The Weta presentation at Armageddon in Auckland today, Saturday the 12th, was excellent. Weta creatives Daniel Falconer and Warren Mahy talked about Weta in general. To give us a focus on the Weta creative process they talked about how they conceptualised and created the Uruk-Hai, giving us plenty of backstage tidbits. Halfway through the presentation – Lawrence Maokare walked in!!! This was a total surprise, as he hadn’t been listed in any event programs. He laughed and bantered with the Weta guys as they showed a hilarious and informative video about how Lawrence was made up to look like Lurtz, starting at 10 at night and ending early in the morning. Afterwards, the Weta creatives and Lawrence graciously gave autographs. It was very informal and fun. Daniel and Warren are doing another presentation tomorrow, Sunday, at the second day of Armageddon, and they told us in advance that the Sunday presentation will focus on how they developed the armor. Maybe Warren Ormsby-Green, the LOTR film armorer who lives in Auckland, will make an appearance?
Best wishes,
Cunning Vixen
