Pauline writes: This is from an interview with James Cameron in the September issue of Empire (UK): Added good news for film fans is that a process called dimensionalisation enables classics to be re-released in 3-D, starting with The Nightmare Before Christmas in December. “Peter Jackson is a 3-D freak like me and he’s been experimenting with footage from King Kong. He and I also talked about the feasibility of doing the three LOTR films” revealed Cameron.

It also mentions that this will NOT only be in Imax Cinemas.

LittleRinger writes: I would like to share my memories of ELF with other fans my age and older. I went to my first convention recently. I’m an 11 year-old LOTR fan and went to ELF with my parents (huge LOTR fans). I have grown up with LOTR around me in many ways. On Friday, I enjoyed watching music videos from fans and presentations by John Noble and Daniel Reeve. There were lots of fans in costumes, which I really enjoyed. That night we were treated to a concert by Emerald Rose. I really liked their music! [More]
