Brian Sibley and Jude Fisher, authors of official guides to the Lord of the Rings films, are to share their experiences of the blockbuster trilogy at the Science Museum in London.
The two authors will talk to film fans in the museum lecture theatre at 2pm on Saturday 8 November. A book signing will follow the event at 3pm in the Science Museum’s Ottakar’s bookshop.
The talk is just one of a series of events at the museum to accompany The Lord of the Rings Motion Picture Trilogy – The Exhibition.
Hundreds of props from the movies including models, armoury and costumes are on display alongside interactive computer demonstrations of the cutting-edge technology used to bring the story to life.
The family exhibition has opened before the final instalment of the film trilogy and the Science Museum is its only European host. Visitors also have a chance to see the first two films of the trilogy at the Science Museum’s cinema.
Jude and Brian will share their experiences on the set of the three movies and of working with the cast and crew to create their books which include The Lord of the Rings: The Making of the Movie Trilogy (Sibley) and The Official Illustrated Movie Companion (Fisher).
The event is free, but tickets must be pre-booked on 020 7942 4739. (Maximum 2 per person.)

Ringer Spy Silicon Gollum reports: A tongue-in-cheek poll on Slashdot needs to be swamped. (Can anyone swamp Slashdot?) It asks for your “Preferred Tyrannical Overlord” and Sauron is currently running #2 to The Computer. We can’t have that. [Vote!]

A few weeks ago, after the trailer for The Return of the King appeared online, there was much discussion about who was the person that was forging Narsil. Was it Arwen? Figwit perhaps? Ringer Spy Valerya chimes in with what seems to be the final answer! SPOILERS!
My name is Valerya and I work at a mall bookstore, today when I got in to work they had in the back room 4 brand new ROTK books featuring all sorts of goodies, such as images and articles, with spoilers galore. As I was looking throught one of them called the ROTK visual companion, I noticed an article about narsil. There on the bottom of the page, were 2 different elves working on the sword. The caption says somthing to the effect of “Elven smiths reforging Narsil”. The picture is also very clear, that it is neither Arwen nor Elrond nor is it Figwit. They are just 2 elves that I dont beleive appeared in the film as of yet.
ALSO
SPOILER: On another page, I noticed a picture that appears to take place either right before or right after Elrond has given the sword to Aragorn. The setting was the same, in the same tent, but the picture was of Aragorn and ARWEN. Arwen was wearing a very beautiful gown, looked like a traveling gown tho. Looks like Arwen may be making an appearence at Pellanor maybe? Sorry, no images because I was not allowed to borrow the book before they go on sale Nov 5. Thanks!

Giuseppe writes: Tonight (October 24th) The Massachussets Institute of Technology Symphony Orchestra, directed by Dante Anzolini, will perform the symphonic poem “Through the Mines of Moria”, by the Italian composer Giovanni D’Aquila. This work is clearly inspired by an episode in Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. This performance will open the symphonic season at the MIT Kresge Auditorium in Boston. [web.mit.edu]
