Turimel writes: On Saturday, Sept 20 at 7 PM, there will be a film festival at Lloyd Cinema in Portland, Oregon, featuring LOTR Fan films. (A sample title: “The Blair Nazgul Project.”) Films have been submitted from all over the country, in categories like Original Drama, Parody, Music Video, and more. It promises to be a fun filled evening of Tolkien geekiness for everyone. Tickets are availalbe at ticketweb.com — look under Oregon, then “Lost Palantir.” [More]
Turimel adds, “Up until yesterday Viggo, Dom, and Sean were going to ATTEND the event “if their schedule permitted.” Unfortunately, they have been called in to do ROTK promos and are unable to make it. However, they have promised a video “hello” to fans at the festival, and Sean is scheduled to announce the winners live by phone!”

The Lord of the Rings Inside the Actor’s Studio taping is off and is not likely to happen soon. My source is a producer for Bravo TV. He stated to me that the studio tried to make it happen, however getting everyone’s schedule together was daunting. Just did not work out.
To further confirm, I just called the New School and they too confirmed that it is not happening. They sounded disappointed.

Having read and thoroughly enjoyed his autobiography ‘Tall, dark and gruesome’ I asked if he was going to update it, it was published about ’95 and obviously it missed out on his renewed popularity with SW and LotR.
He replied that yes, he had just finished the updating and that it was with the publishers.
Move forward to this lunchtime. Was browsing my local bookshop and saw a poster about books being published next month. Was reading the list when I saw ‘Lord of Misrule – Christopher Lee’
‘Christopher Lee? The actor or the historian?’ thinks I. So I asked a very nice member of staff to check for me and she discovered that yes, it was the actor!
More details can be found here.
I cannot stress this enough – this is well worth your time and money to invest in. Christopher Lee is a fasinating gentleman, with a life that surpasses the most fantastic fiction. Christmas is coming, so after the TTT EE, put this on your Christmas list.
Just checked Amazon.com and I can’t find anything, so this might be British only so far.
