Like an orc invasion, the media descended on a stark east-end rehearsal studio Monday for what producers promised would be a “taste” of the massive theatrical production of Lord of the Rings, scheduled to open in February. With no props, costumes, sets or lighting — just a bare stage and some recorded music — six excerpts from the three-hour, $27-million Mirvish production based on J.R.R. Tolkien’s beloved fantasy trilogy were performed in front of an outsider audience for the very first time. [More]

Museum of New Zealand Te Papa has bumped a New Zealand art exhibition aside to make way for a money-spinning Lord of the Rings repeat, in a deal secured with a highly unusual payment. Filmmaker and aviation enthusiast Peter Jackson agreed to a second six-month exhibition on the condition the museum located and bought for him a vintage Sopwith Camel airplane engine. Te Papa spokesman Peter Brewer said a deal on an engine found somewhere in the northern hemisphere should be settled by Christmas. The engine cost “a fraction of the amount” the museum would otherwise have had to pay Jackson in licensing fees, he said. It is understood Te Papa paid trilogy backers New Line Cinemas up to $500,000 for the first Rings’ exhibition in 2003. The studio had since signed over the licensing rights to Jackson. [More]

1) There WILL be a Costume Contest, but I’m still polishing up the details, expect rules and registration info to be posted very soon on that.
2)We’ve just announced that the cast of “Fellowship” will be joining us on Saturday night during the Awards show. Many of you have seen this Musical Parody of The Fellowship of the Ring, and many others have only heard about it. Now, you’ll get to see select excerpts from this brilliantly funny show.
3) And finally, I’d like to remind you aspiring artists out there about our Iron Artist Compentition. This will be a fun event with the added bonus of allowing you to really test your skills at pure creativity in action. Please read on to see how to enter.
