John Howe sends in the latest Tolkien related items to us from his website: ‘Coming Soon’: The Art of Travel, by Alain de Botton, American Gods by Neil Gaimon and the Lore of the Unicorn by Odell Shepard. (If I can remember, I’ll post the titles of the books I’m currently reading, usually about a dozen at any one time – which may explain why I get lost so easily…). Some more Tolkien illustrations… and, it looks like the documentary is going to happen. At last, a chance to talk about myself! (At least I’m familiar with the subject…). [John-Howe.com]

Andrew sends along a heads up that the latest edition of EMPIRE magazine has a teaser poster featuring Aragorn and Gollum. UPDATE. Thanks to Ringer Spy Rudy, we now have scans from the Magazine! The posters are the same images we have seen in the ROTK Promo Calendar, but there is a lot of other LOTR coverage to sink your teeth into. !!!SPOILERS!!! [More]
BoppinsMom sends in this tidbit: One of the recently asked questions on Jeopardy was a Lord of the Rings question!! The question asked which movie this quote came from: “A wizard is never late Frodo Baggins. Nor is he early. He arrives precisely when he means to.” (can you believe it, they thought it was from Harry Potter!!!!)
WETA Workshop is lending their talents to a live action feature film of Neon Genesis Evangelion, AICN reports today. Follow the link for more info! [More]
A semi-quality video of 1 minute 43 seconds of the EA ROTK game has appeared online thanks to the folks at 576.hu. As all of the links we checked out had serious download issues, we’ve mirrored it for easy downloading!
UPDATE New Line has kindly asked us to remove the file as they want the first view of ROTK to be much better quality than this.
