I attended the New Line presentation Sunday and was pleasantly surprised to find that Elijah Wood and Dominic Monaghan both showed up on top of the RotK preview, Andy Serkis with a look behind the creation of Gollum, the TTT extended edition preview, costumes put together live on the stage, and Sean Astin talking about his short film.
It was a tremendously awesome hour and they even gave away a prop sword and about 30 mysterious gift packages (my friend won one, go her!) that are “to big to give out here” and “must be mailed”. I also checked out the TORN booth and picked up a “Don’t make me get my ring” shirt as well as a Gandalf for president pin for good measure. Anyways, here are the pictures I have from the presentation. Thanks for your time and having such a completely wicked rad site that keeps me on top of everything LotR.

Live in the LA area? Are you 5’2″ and under, or 6′ or over? Wanna audition to be in an ambitious stage version of “The Hobbit”? Well if so, the Canyon Theatre Guild in Santa Clarita, CA (Valencia/Newhall, near Six Flags Magic Mountain) just north of Los Angeles will be holding auditions Monday Aug. 4 at 8pm for children under age 16, and Tuesday Aug. 5 at 7pm for adults age 16 and up at the theatre. About 20 the stock characters are needed: Bilbo Baggins, Gandalf, dwarves, elves (long hair, thin – think of the movies), and Gollum. There will even be a giant Smaug dragon at the end!
If you can contribute to costumes or props it would be greatly appreciated. This stageplay will be directed by Jymn Magon, who used to work for Disney and he even produced the old record LP of the Rankin/Bass TV version “The Hobbit” in the late 1970’s.
The show will open Sat. Oct. 4 for 4 weekend runs. Any questions or need directions, call (661) 296-0199 or visit >www.canyontheatre.org
Come out and try to be a part of J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic children’s fantasy!

SAN DIEGO – At Comic-Con, a cluster of people means an item of interest. It could be a scantily clad vixen posing for photos, a particularly delectable giveaway or Dominic Monaghan and Elijah Wood playing an early version of EA Games’ “Return Of The King.” [More]
