Anthony writes: Orlando Bloom has narrated a new documentary film – now available on DVD. To see the film’s Web site and trailer go to: www.EverestPeaceProject.org. Narrated by Orlando Bloom and hailed as a “tremendous achievement” by the Dalai Lama. Everest: A Climb for Peace is not just a typical Everest film, but a socially relevant documentary about peace, war, and the human spirit – an inspirational film, which also has some of the most incredible Everest footage ever shot, including a dramatic rescue from near the summit of Everest.

Magpie writes: Doug Adams, author of the the upcoming book The Music of the Lord of the Rings Films, now has a blog. He writes: This blog will serve as a one-stop web source for news, information and discussion regarding Howard Shore’s Rings scores — in addition to audio/video, rss feed, voicemail, etc. (The blog is) a chance for me to stay in touch with fans of Howard Shore’s amazing work — and, hopefully, an efficient way of keeping everyone on top of the latest comings and goings as we enter the final phase of The Music of the Lord of the Rings project.

Kristin Thompson, author of ‘The Frodo Franchise: The Lord of the Rings and Modern Hollywood’, writes: Peter Bart’s book Boffo! has a chapter on The Lord of the Rings where he argues that the trilogy was the biggest gamble in Hollywood’s history. I’ve written a response trying to show that Bob Shaye and Michael Lynne of New Line Cinema weren’t risking nearly as much as Bart claims and that the “gambling” aspect of Peter Jackson’s production has been exaggerated in the press. New Line’s Gamble: Not So Boffo?
