Corsair writes: As I know TORN is renowned for the accuracy of its reporting, you may be interested in knowing that the TentMoot people are incorrectly listing Bruce Hopkins as a confirmed celebrity at their event, when he in fact will be attending elsewhere. Another group has a written contract with him at an event on another coast entirely… and the actor has since informed organizers that he is definitely NOT attending TentMoot, and has told the TentMoot people so some time ago.
But.. in point of fact… in that link that TORN posted today, not only is Mr. Hopkins listed as coming… he is still listed as being available for financial sponsorship by fans.
Don’t know about you… but as for me… this now puts the credibility of the rest of the “confirmed” guests somewhat in question.
You may want to check this out… or get someone else to do so. It would be a shame if Ringers were misled by incorrect information.

Spoke to distributor – they said – “no decision” has been made, but probably will not do a trilogy showing until after opening of ROTK. Direct quote from them was “This film has cost us a lot of money and we’re going to do whatever we can to make the most out of it.” When I pointed out that we seemed to be the only country on the planet that seems to be incapable of organising this event reply was “We don’t care what other countries do – we will make our decisions on the basis of what is best for us”
They obviously are totally unaware of the strength of interest in this event. I do believe that this bunch could not organise anything in an alcoholic drink production establishment.
Xoanon here, this is the first I’ve heard of the event NOT taking place…if anyone else has more information (not theories or complaints or petitions…INFO) drop me a line at xoanon@theonering.net
