This summer the Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds will be showcasing the weapons and armour from some of the biggest Hollywood blockbusters of recent years including The Lord of the Rings and The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe (the second instalment, Prince Caspian opened in the UK 26 June).
Craftsman-made by the world-famous, Oscar-winning WETA workshops in Wellington, New Zealand, many of the 230+ props have never been displayed in public before. The free exhibition Arms and Armour from the Movies: The Wonderful World of WETA (*see ‘notes to editors’) opens 12 July (daily 10am – 5pm) and runs until 16 November – it will be the only opportunity for movie buffs and the general public to see these exquisite items in the UK.

Garfeimao writes: The Academy of Motion Pictures, Arts and Sciences has been doing a film series called “Great to be Nominated” which features the film from each year that received the most nominations while not winning one of the major awards. So, 2002 was Fellowship of the Ring, which did win 4 Academy Awards, but none of them in the major categories. The host did mention that the filmmakers were in the unique position of re-dressing that issue 2 years later, when Return of the King won all 11 awards it was nominated for.

Seeing Fellowship again on the big screen was magical, you pick up on so many details you miss watching it at home. And the sound was amazing, I heard background dialogue I’d never heard before, and I’ve seen the film, well, more than a few times. 😉 Having the Orcs completely surround you, auditorily, was just so cool.

Last week Guillermo Del Toro was on ‘Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ to promote ‘Hellboy II: The Golden Army’. Jimmy and GDT touched a little on The Hobbit, and despite my desperate attempts to get him to give a ‘shout out’ to TORN, it didn’t happen. Another interesting bit of news is that GDT plans on releasing a book filled with his sketches, notes and ideas from all his films..sound like a great idea! Take a look at the YouTubeed version of the interview here. Continue reading “TV Watch: GDT On Jimmy Kimmel”
