Howard Shore’s Rings score has been at the top for 5 years now (and is still the top movie score in the Hall of Fame top 300 classical pieces of all time) and obviously we want to keep it that way!

Sorry there isn’t anything posted about the Children of Hurin event that TORn took part in on Tuesday in Manhattan. I still can’t believe Christopher Tolkien autographed stuff! I had the ‘travel day from Mordor’ but I promise to post pictures and prose as soon as I get sleep, luggage and time!

fxguide.com ran a story today about a new brand of high end cameras that were used by Peter Jackson to make a short film. We wanted to verify the articles so we chatted with folks at WETA/3foot6/Wingnut and this is what we received. RED (red.com) made contact with Peter and his team, they offered us the opportunity to field test the camera in New Zealand. Jim Jannard flew to NZ with members of the RED team with two prototype cameras. Peter shot a short film over 2 days, then it went to post production at Weta Digital and Park Road Post. The film is screening in the RED tent at NAB Las Vegas. The lucky folks at NAB got to see the 12 minute short…hope we get to as well! Click here for the article in question. [More]
The ‘Behind the Movies: King Kong’ special that aired on CityTv earlier this month is now on YouTube! Behind The Movies brings you the movies people love and the ones they’re anxiously waiting to see. What was the drama, determination and the dreams that went into the making of these films and what were the results? We focus in on the films that have become legendary, were controversial, cult favourites or have yet to find their fate. Along with film clips and footage from behind the scenes, we talk with the actors, directors, producers, cinematographers, stunt people, costume designers or whoever has a tale to tell. [More]
