Staffer Kristin Thompson has written from the road with a great giveaway item and a hot rumor. Expect this TORn exclusive to heat up the internet today but it seems the spy network has checked in. Kristin says:
“At MIPCOM, a television trade show held in Cannes on October 3 to 6, this great bag with an image of Bilbo was being given away. It’s trademarked by New Line Cinema and MGM. Rumor has it that a few minutes of footage from THE HOBBIT were also screened!” Continue reading “Exclusive: The first screening of ‘Hobbit’ footage?”
If you go to the movies, even casually, you have been moved by his work. Assisting directors, he makes audiences laugh and cry and with over 80 scores, three Oscars and more than 50 other awards to his name, Howard Shore is a master movie composer. He has collaborated with David Cronenberg, Martin Scorsese, Jonathan Demme and David Fincher to name just a few. But it is his work with Peter Jackson on the Lord of the Rings film trilogy that has won him his widest commercial acclaim.
With a nine-city tour of The Lord of the Rings in concert: The Fellowship of the Ring to kick off Wednesday in Glendale Arizona, TheOneRing.net spoke with Shore (in London) by phone about the unique event that combines a film screening with a live performance of his score.
TORn: Is there an excitement about these live performances?
Howard Shore: It is very exciting, I am very much looking forward to it. Continue reading “Howard Shore talks FOTR concert tour with TORn”
Guillermo del Toro was born October 9, in Guadalajara Jalisco, Mexico. He dreamed of being a filmmaker and went on to create a formidable catalog of movies that includes Cronos (1993), The Devil’s Backbone(2001), two Hellboy films (2004 and 2008) and Pan’s Labyrinth (2006). He is a co-writer of the two forthcoming films based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit. He also became part of TheOneRing.net community so we wish our friend and the talented director, producer, writer a happy birthday and many happy returns!

A group of Lord of the Rings fans gathered in San Diego yesterday for a Flashmob dance, in preparation for the big FOTR concert there later this week. It certainly looked like a nice day in the park for it, I’m sure the Hobbits had a wonderful afternoon.
