HOLLYWOOD — Former New Line Cinema PR chief Steve Elzer has joined Columbia TriStar Motion Picture Group as a senior veepee of media relations.
Elzer will serve as chief liaison between Col’s senior management and journos from national consumer and industry trade press. In addition, he will work with publicity supervisors from each of the studio’s PR divisions to assist with the implementation of long-term communications strategies.
The move was expected (Daily Variety, Jan. 11); he will report directly to Geoffrey Ammer, prexy of marketing for the group, who announced the move on Thursday.
Ammer praised Elzer as someone who has “decisively earned the respect of journalists, filmmakers and peers, who have counted on his industry expertise, skill and leadership over the years.”
Elzer will begin immediately working on such Col films as “The Panic Room,” “Spider-Man,” “Men in Black II” and the sequel to “Stuart Little” as well as Revolution Studios’ actioner “XXX.”
For the past eight years, Elzer was the lead spokesman for New Line, where he also served as a senior veepee of corporate communications for the mini-major. Elzer helped run publicity on more than 100 films, including “The Lord of the Rings,” the “Austin Powers” franchise, laffers like “The Mask” and dramas like “Boogie Nights.”
He joined New Line in 1994 as a staff writer and later that year was promoted to director of corporate communications. He was elevated to veepee of the division in 1996.
Elzer began his publicity career at the Fox Broadcasting Co. in 1989.

How has the world changed since 12/19?
A month has gone by since ‘The Fellowship of the Ring’ first opened and by now a great proportion of the filmgoing public worldwide has seen it too and had their chance to catch ‘Rings Fever.’
TORN’s email inbox gives us a good idea of how the film has affected people. Over time we notice trends in people’s concerns and interests. There have been definite changes in our email this past month.
As you’d expect, we’re getting more mail from people who’ve never read the book and are falling in love with the film. I can’t wait to hear from some of them again if they go and read the book and discover all this OTHER stuff that Tolkien wrote that they have no inkling of yet!
This month has seen a lot of mail asking us to pass on good wishes, congratulations, and loveletters to Orlando Bloom. He is certainly causing a lot of people some raised pulses and lost sleep. We can’t pass on letters to him, so for anyone suffering Bloomania the next best bet is to hang out at Bloomin’Marvellous to share your feelings with other Bloom fans.
We’ve seen quite a lot of mail from people wanting to learn Elvish whether just one or two words, or all the languages. There’s quite a lot of frustration that there seem to be no books available on the Elven tongues. There is however a lively online community devoted to studying and teaching Elvish, so I ususally send people to Elvish.org’s Fellowship of the Wordsmiths to find out more. From there you can get to the website Ardalambion, which offers a course in Quenya.
There’s certainly been a growth in university-level courses teaching Tolkien; it’ll be interesting to see whether courses in Quenya and Sindarin become more widely taught in the classroom.
Tourism to NZ has got a boost from the movies – having seen the film, evidently people are figuring out that a country that is safe, scenic, tourist-friendly AND offers the chance to stand on the site of Rivendell etc. is worth the long flight. More
Lastly, of course, almost everywhere, we’ve noticed LOTR references mentioned casually in conversation; the media use LOTR images to refer to current events. The jokes we Ringers used to tell amongst ourselves are no longer in-jokes – they’re part of the common culture around us. That’s the main change we’ve seen, and it’s going to take some getting used to.

Eyna was the musical guest on ‘The Tonight Show with Jay Leno’ on NBC last night (Jan 17th). Enya sang ‘May It Be’ from the LOTR:FOTR soundtrack. She was accompanied by a whole range of musicians and a big screen behind her showing clips from LOTR:FOTR. Enya gave a great live performance of the song, and was greeted by a large round of applause.
Take a look at some pics:

Ian McKellen was a guest on the ABC show ‘Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher’ yesterday (Jan 17th). If you’ve never watched the show, it deals with the latest headlines and talks about them frankly and openly. For a complete transcript of the entire show, go to the ABC site. [More (Thanks lena!)
