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.)

LORD Of The Rings star Billy Boyd has revealed he never made a penny from appearing in the blockbuster movie.

But despite becoming a household name by appearing in the films, he says the role failed to boost his bank balance.
Billy – who is rehearsing for his forthcoming role in The Proclaimers musical Sunshine On Leith – said: “I don’t have any money.
“We were unknown actors – we did it for peanuts and for food.”

My show is 1am-5am NZ time which makes it Saturday in in the US, I trust Comic Con was a total blast, adios!
It almost seems that the San Diego Comic-Con becomes the center of the entertainment Universe for a few days. Maybe it does. We were there presenting a panel, meeting fellow fans, conducting trivia, grooming sources, hanging out and watching the celebration of popular arts. Despite pen stabbings, incredible (or impossible) lines and vexing shuttle buses, it remains an incredible experience.
TORn was among the very first panels to kick the week off and it helped produce a torrent of film industry folks and fans who wanted to touch base on ‘The Hobbit’ films.
So here is a rundown from the TORn perspective of what went on. Continue reading “Comic-Con wrap up and notebook”
