It’s that time of year again for fans to gather at the biggest Genre convention of all, Comic-Con! Held annually in San Diego, California – this is the Mother of all Cons. And the third year in a row RINGERS: LORD OF THE FANS will have a large presence.
In 2003, RINGERS shared TheOneRing.net’s booth in the huge “Lord of the Rings” pavilion. Some of you may remember the Confessional Booth and that the cameras were everywhere! (Who can forget the web-cam debut of “TanPants?”) Last year, in 2004 RINGERS hosted a panel with author Peter S. Beagle where roughly 2500 fans cheered at the first sneak peak of this documentary. But for Comic-Con 2005, there are some special things in store for you!
RINGERS: LORD OF THE FANS will host a panel on Friday, July 15 at 12:00 Noon. Filmmakers Carlene Cordova (Sony Pictures Digital Entertainment) and Cliff “Quickbeam” Broadway (TheOneRing.net) join Executive Producer Tom DeSanto (X-Men I & II, Transformers) as they show exclusive clips from RINGERS. They will be announcing the distribution plans for this award winning documentary, narrated by Dominic Monaghan (LOST, The Lord of the Rings). A special surprise guest may even join them for the panel. Come and see why RINGERS: LORD OF THE FANS has generated so much excitement with sold-out film festival audiences!
After the panel, the RINGERS team will be signing autographs and meeting and greeting fellow Ringers at the RINGERS: LORD OF THE FANS booth #1118 in the main Exhibition Hall. Tom DeSanto, Carlene Cordova and Cliff Broadway will be signing from 1:45PM to 3pm. Another signing/meet & greet will take place on Saturday, July 16th from 2:00 to 3:00PM in booth #1118.
The RINGERS booth will be open for the entire run of Comic-Con 2005. From preview night, Wednesday, July 13, 6:00 to 9:00PM through Sunday, July 15th. Comic-Con hours are 10:00AM to 7:00PM Thursday through Saturday, and 10:00AM to 5:00PM on Sunday. Come and get your free RINGERS buttons and removable tattoos. Proclaim your LOTR Fan status by purchasing a special Comic-Con exclusive RINGERS T-shirt. Free RINGERS Lanyard included with every purchase!
Come and meet up with other Ringers and display your costuming in the RINGERS booth! See you there in Comic-Con 2005. [Ringers Website]

Schindlers List was a daunting 3hrs 15 mins, Titanic was three hours 14 mins and Gangs Of New York was two hours 45mins long. However, the Lord Of The Rings trilogy makes all these look like a walk in the park, because when shown back-to-back cinema fanatics can expect to be sitting upright for a bum-numbing nine hours and 36 minutes. Today, the Broadway Theatre has set this challenge to fans of the award-winning films because they will be shown in full on the theatre’s enormous screen on July 23 and July 24. Gluttons for punishment, fans are already hammering at the theatre’s kiosk – snapping up 250 tickets, which cost £12.50 each, to see all three films. [More]
