Jackie writes: I thought you might like to know that this week’s issue of sci-fi weekly had a short mention of ‘Ringers: Lord of the Fans’. I am glad to see that the word is getting out about what appears to be a well-done documentary, judging from what I have seen at the two Lord of the Rings conventions (ORC and ELF): “Sony Pictures Home Entertainment will release the feature-length documentary Ringers: Lord of the Fans on DVD on Nov. 22, directed by Carlene Cordova and narrated by Dominic Monaghan.” [Pre-Order ‘Ringers’]
From John N: From 28 June to 11 September the Municipal Museum of Carouge, a suburb of Geneva, hosted a successful show of over 120 of the Tolkien-related works of John Howe which attracted 8600 visitors and raised over $50,000 for charity. The show was entitled “Le Monde du Seigneur des Anneaux/ The World of the Lord of the Rings” (all information panels were bilingual French/English). The event was organised by Krousar Thmey, a charity which supports schools for deprived and handicapped children in Cambodia, and was also in favor of “La Maison des Enfants de Carouge”. John Howe graciously lent his collection for the event, and also held two signature sessions for his limited prints and books sold in the museum shop.

He says, “I have boxes of (pictures I took on the Lord of the Rings set). They’re sad, in a way. I was 18 years old when we first started shooting, and it had such an impact on me as a person – it was massive. So looking back now is somewhat nostalgic. [More]
