Libby writes: Thanks very much for listing the free outdoor screening of the LOTR trilogy + Hobbit Breakfast in your EVENTS blog — that is great. Hopefully folks who don’t head down to Comic-Con will come on out.
I wanted to share details about another screening of the trilogy in August, taking place at the Aero Theatre in Santa Monica. Ticket prices for the entire program will be $3, and artist David Hildebrandt will introduce the screening. Continue reading “Trilogy Screening in Santa Monica”
Libby sends in this alert for anyone who will be in the LA/Pasadena area on Saturday, July 26: Hello! I hope all is well at The One Ring. I am forwarding details, in case it’s of interest to your LA-based readers. As part of the FREE Old Pasadena Film Festival this summer, the entire LORD OF THE RINGS trilogy will be screened outside from night-til-dawn, followed by a “Hobbit Breakfast”
Are you sure that isn’t going to be a Second Breakfast, Libby? Complete details can be found at the Old Pasadena Film Festival site.
Can’t quite visualize that? Believe it or not, that’s one of the many casting rumors that was sent to TORn in June of 1999, reported in the Sunday Star Times no less. Now that the casting rumor mill has started anew for The Hobbit and ‘F2,’ message board member diedye thought it would be fun to re-visit some of the old news reported on TORn in times past. Do you remember the first photos of Sam and Frodo on Mt. Doom from June of 2000? Did you know Bruce Willis was rumored to have petitioned PJ for a part in LOTR? With a few items sprinkled in from Tolkien’s letters and other sources, this makes for a fun trip down memory lane. Stay tuned for regular installments!

Volcanic activity at Mount Ruapehu is increasing and an eruption could occur at any time, scientists warned on Tuesday. The volcano, famed as a location in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy, last erupted on September 25 2007, spitting two metre boulders distances of up to two kilometres. Ruapehu’s elevated alert level has not been changed, but scientists said on Tuesday that activity within the mountain was greater, with high levels of gas spewing out, a warmer than average crater lake and ongoing volcanic tremors. “The volcano remains in a status of unrest and the possibility of further activity remains. If further eruptions occur, they may occur without warning,” Geological and Nuclear Sciences (GNS) said in a statement.
