Robin writes: I just returned from a trip to Toronto where we saw the fantastic new musical, Lord of the Rings. I loved the play and the music was great. The only thing I was disappointed in was that there was no CD of the music (they are saving that for the London cast) and there was no programs to purchase that had photos of the musical. BUT! I was able to find some great photos in the local “Where” magazine for tourists, the local newspaper and a pamphlet that was available in the theater. I did notice in the hand-out program that there will be a “The Lord of the Rings: The Official Stage Companion” Based on the stage production – Available in August 2006 for $50.00 (Canadian?) Also, I’m including a picture of the items I purchased in the theater’s shop – poster, magnet, key chain and mug. Hope you enjoy these pics! [More]

From djdeathskiss via Comingsoon.net: Orlando Bloom (Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest) will join Kate Bosworth (Superman Returns) in Seasons of Dust, a Depression-era drama written and to be directed by Tim Blake Nelson, reports Production Weekly. In the film, Janey (Bosworth) takes refuge with a farm family after grandfather’s suicide. But when the son tries to rape her, she injures him badly. Not knowing if he is alive or dead, Janey flees, and ultimately takes up with Ricky (Bloom), a dashing crook who is also on the lam. With the law and two hired hit-men hot on their trailer, Janey and Ricky engage in a frantic cross-country odyssey, trying to stay one step ahead of their determined pursuers. Production is scheduled to begin mid-July in Oklahoma and New Mexico.
