Ringer Ernildir tells us that the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic community has produced a very entertaining 12-minute video parody of The Lord of the Rings. I reckon Rainbowomir gets all the best lines. Go have a watch! Continue reading “My Little Pony Lord of the Rings video parody”

A while back, we announced that TheOneRing.net would be hosting the ‘Unexpected Art Show’ in Los Angeles. After speaking with all of the parties involved (and even more whom wanted to be involved but couldn’t because of the aggressive timeframe), we’ve decided to move this gathering of creatives to Oscar Party weekend! The ‘Unexpected Art Show’ will now invade Hollywood on Feb 22nd 2013 – allowing the folks attending ‘The One Expected Party’ a chance to partake in this one-of-a-kind show. Further details on the art show will be available shortly. And since we are on the topic of Oscar Party…We are just about to announce many more details! Stay tuned for all the exciting details including a headline act for the ages! (For those you who filled out our survey from last year, we haven’t forgotten you! You will receive an exclusive offer to purchase tickets first!)
Weta’s Ben Hawker is a brilliant guy and he worked with the creative and fun folks at Air New Zealand to create the ideas that became perhaps the most popular airline safety video in the world, collecting 8 million hits since it was launched a week ago. TheOneRing was honored to play a part with Cliff “Quickbeam” Broadway and I (Larry “MrCere” Curtis) appearing to help represent fans from across the globe. Well, they also asked us to chime in on the behind-the-scenes video which features J.R.R. Tolkien’s grandsons Royd and Mike, the genuinely excellent and beautiful airline employees Kara, Mark and Will (plus others not in the video), the film’s director Josh, the soon-to-be superstar Dean O’Gorman, Peter Jackson and that Hawker guy. TORn may have its own version of a story and photos from that set before long but Air New Zealand has a great video to follow up last week’s starting off with a familiar face. Also fun, many of the crew making this video also worked on The Hobbit. Check out the short clip on the next page! Continue reading “A secret look inside Air NZ’s Middle-earth safety video”
