Each year TheOneRing.net makes its convention shirts available for those not able to attend DragonCon and Comic-Con but Monday these shirts will become unavailable, probably forever. Quantities in some sizes are already very limited but we must soon take the offer off the website and send the remaining shirts to Atlanta Georgia for DragonCon 2010 where TORn will participate in the Tolkien Track. We get e-mails all the time asking about the availability of older TORn shirts and we are always sorry to inform people that they just aren’t available anywhere, ever after we run out. Consider this your last chance to get these exclusive shirts. U.S. residents click here to see the shirts and place your orders. (Prices and shipping costs are for U.S. customers only.)

Writer and director Peter Briggs spent a little time at the Weta booth during Comic-Con and just as in previous interactions with the TORn staff, he was friendly and funny. Now rumors are circulating that he may be involved in a film with Weta called “Panzer 88.” The premise of the film, talked about by Briggs at a panel during the convention, sounds perfect for Richard Taylor and his team. It reportedly depicts “a German tank crew on the run from a malevolent supernatural entity in the snowy Russian wastes.” Bloody-disgusting.com has a well-written speculative piece on what could be keeping the Peter Jackson / Richard Taylor effects company busy. See the story here.

Michael Cieply at the New York Times has written a nice piece about how resistance against 3D is forming in Hollywood. He used many sources from Comic-Con and says that filmmakers may carry more clout with studios than people who cough up money to see films. He also quotes a TORn article and our own webmaster in the story that talks about an issue important to film fans world wide.
