SlayerVixen writes: I was watching the uk morning show This Morning aware he was going to be on it and he has infact verified that his character will not be featured in ROTK, he seemed sad when he mentioned it but due to a confidentiality agreement he was not able to comment further. What he did say though was that he didn’t know why they had done it and stated if they wanted to know the reason for it they would probably have to speak to New Line or Peter Jackson.
The main vibe I got from it was that he couldn’t really comment but he seemed really disappointed, I really felt for him. He has also just stated he won’t be going to the premiere, so it would appear he was cut without being asked, he seems greatly dissapointed. He said there is no point for me or Brad Dourif to go to the premiere we’re not in the movie! Its a sad state of affairs he seems as shocked as many of us are.

The show is scheduled for 11/14 at 7pm. I would advise that you get there a bit early for good seats. Doors should open at 6:30.
Tickets are $3.00 at the door and there is also an art display done by this year’s class. The address of the church is:
Southern Crescent Baptist Church
334 Lake Dow Road
Mcdonough, GA 30252
Also, this is not the play for purists. The script writers have taken vast liberties. So in other words, don’t mob the cast. It’s not their fault.

I was actually on holiday in New York at the time, and having met Sala at Collectormania 4 this year, I felt it was my duty to pay him a visit while on foreign soil!
Sala, wonderful man that he is, actually recognised me, making my day! He was extremely generous with his time, and very happy to pose for yet another round of pictures.
Whilst at London Expo I asked Billy, Craig and Jorn to sign a stress cube that the Expo people were giving away free, on each side of which there were different words. Billy signed Confused, Jorn – surprised and Craig – stimulated. I had picked up a handful of spare ones with the hope of asking any future LotR actors to sign.
Sala oblijed willingly and deliberated for a rather long time, over anxious or excited…finally settling on anxious!
I had a wonderful day and would like to thank Sala for being so pleasant and cheerful every time I have met him!

It has a few pictures which I havn’t seen before including a very scary looking red eyed orc. I have one complaint though on this calander – there are 3 pitures of orcs – not very easy on the eyes and NO PICTURE OF MERRY!
I was outraged to find out that half of the main chracters arn’t even there. But I can forgive – this calander is beautifully made with 2 pictures for every month. There are quite a few new pics below so if you want to wait and have a surprise don’t look.

I visited one DVD store today in Tampere, Finland to ask for their price on the TTT EE DVD. The clerk told me that (to his great personal disappointment) he had just received a note saying that the EE DVD’s release date will be postponed a week and that this is the situation in all Scandinavia. I guess that makes the new date 25th of Oct. He didn’t give any reason for this.
Tove adds more info:
The delay is for the Sone 2-version. A lot of people order the Sone 1 from the US. I will send you the e-mail I got yesterday and any further info from the distributor here in Norway, SF Norge, when I get to work In two hours. All this in norwegian thou….
I work at ARK Bruns Bokhandel (bookstore) in Trondheim, Norway. And I got the bad news because I called SF Norge for info on when my shipment of dvd’s and posters etc was expected to arrive at the store. They had just minutes before been informed about the delay. This was about 11.00 in the morning local time.

I was looking at your site the other day (and a very good site it is!) and noticed a posting on competitions is Australia to win tickets to the premiere in Wellington of ROTK. This is another comp. lotr fans may be interested in.
The Herald Sun in Melbourne, Australia, is going to release three ROTK posters with a riddle on them. Solve the riddle, enter, and you can ‘win a trip for two to the film’s premiere in New Zealand, or one of 200 double passes to a preview screening in Melbourne.’
The posters have been in the Sunday Herald Sun, starting on November 2. The first two posters are the one with Aragorn and Narsil, the one featuring Frodo looking somewhat the worse for wear with the ring around his neck.
The riddle so far is:
Alive without breath; as cold as death;
never thirsting, ever drinking;
clad in mail, never clinking
Drowns on dry land;
thinks an island is a mountain;
thinks a fountain is a puff of air
Evidently, the first part closely follows a riddle in the hobbit, while the second part seems to be a fairly crude add-on.
Anyway, the last poster comes out this Sunday with competition details.
Hope this is useful to Oz fans of LOTR
