Alex sent in more thoughts on whether Sauron might appear in person in ROTK. [More] Tiny Spoilers

Alex writes, “Well I saw something that could be a possible spoiler for ROTK. On the FOTR DVD extended edition, I don’t remember where but I know that it was on disc 3, there is a two-second clip of what looks like Peter Jackson directing the movements of an actor dressed in Sauron’s costume and there is a blue screen behind him. When I first saw this I thought PJ was just filming a scene from the prologue with the battle of the last alliance. But I looked at Sauron who was using a sword, and in the prologue, Sauron wielded a mace. This could be some more supporting evidence of Sauron’s apearance in ROTK. Of course it could just be somethiung PJ redid but I just thought you might like to know.”

No more arguments: It says it on the official site; “The New Line Platinum Series™ The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers Special Extended DVD Edition (due out on November 18) inlcudes never-before-seen footage, special features and more! DVD 4-disc set with 43 minutes of new and extended scenes added to the film (also available on VHS). 2 bonus discs of all-new special features.” [More]

More than being a “Tolkien Event”, it’s a Tolkien *community* event. [More]

It’s been a little quiet from the side of the people organising Ring*Con 2003 this year. The event, held in Bonn, Germany, has its own website, [RingCon.de], and people who poke around on that can now find two nice new things. First of all there’s a short trailer promoting the event, and secondly there’s an announcement saying John Rhys-Davies (Gimli) will attend! John Rhys-Davies was also scheduled to attend last year, however he had to cancel because he was in Croatia filming La Femme Musketeer. Now we all now what happened there, so I suggest you just come to Bonn this year John…
