Ian McKellen (Gandalf) was on David Letterman tonight.

Ian spoke about being mistaken for Richard Harris from Harry Potter. He also mentioned getting locked out of his theatre during intermission from ‘Dace of Death’, and having to climb a roof and go all around the cinema to get in. And that his boyfiriend and others abused his Gandalf action figure…heresey!

Here are a few pics.

Sean Bean (Boromir) (AKA Bad A$$ Actor of all time) was on Rosie O’Donnell today.

Sean talked about his role as Boromir and how it is a more ‘in depth’ bad guy than any other role he has played.

Sean aslo spoke about his now infamous scar above his left eye, and how Harrison Ford gave it to him on the set of ‘Patriot Games’.

Rosie also showed him his Boromir action figure, and gave it to him, as well as a Lurtz.

Here are a few pics.

‘Lord’ rings up $73 million in 5-day bow

New Line grabbed the box office brass ring with “Rings” this weekend, as the action fantasy marked a December-record $45.3 million in estimated three-day grosses.

First Friday-Sunday sesh for “The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” followed an $18.2 million Wednesday bow and $9.7 million Thursday gross for a five-day cume of $73.1 million — best ever for the period if not a all-time five-day record.

The $90 million-plus production — first of three planned “Rings” book adapations — also launched this week in many foreign territories, where grosses have been similarly at the far high end of expectations.

“We’re very excited,” said Rolf Mittweg, prexy and chief operating officer for worldwide marketing and distribution. “All the evening shows have been sellouts and word-of mouth is amazing.”

Though he declined to project a domestic total for pic, Mittweg said a big opening assures “it will be in theaters for at least a couple of months.” Anticipated kudos should build momentum as well, he added. [More]
