You may know this already but I saw today’s Daily Variety (New York 11/26) and there was a listing of several films scheduled for small screening rooms specifically for members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences (the Oscars). LOTR was one of them. I don’t have scannin capabilities and should have thought to try to find an online link before posting this. I only have a minute before I have to go out but I will e-mail you tomorrow from work with the list of times. The cities were NYC, LA, London and San Francisco and there were four separate dates in NYC.

I was just flipping through the channels and came upon MTV News (you know…ten to the hour, every hour) and they were talking about the “sci-fi/fantasy invasion of the movies” … starting with Harry Potter, then Spider Man and the new Star Wars … but then they said something like “But sooner than that, a movie with anticipation 40 years in the making … LORD OF THE RINGS!” They talked a bit about the movie and the risks involved in making it and the huge avid fan following, and THEN they showed an interview they had with Elijah Wood! He talked about getting to visit the Star Wars set with Orlando Bloom (I assume so, he said “a hobbit and an elf”) and how pristine and scarily-clean and tightly regulated it was in comparison to the sort of motley, dirty, rag-tag Rings set. Also, apparently MTV is starting some sort of weekly show about soon-to-be-released movies, which Fellowship will be featured on.

STORYOPOLIS HOSTS EXCLUSIVE ‘LORD OF THE RINGS’ EVENT
Offers First Look at Film and Q&A with Star Sean Astin
Los Angeles, CA Fans of the long-awaited epic adventure, “Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” will get an exclusive first look at the film on Saturday, December 1 from 4-6 p.m. Storyopolis and New Line Cinema will host a special celebration for the first installment of the classic J.R.R. Tolkien trilogy. Tickets to the event are $6 with a suggested age for participants of 11-years-old and up.
Patrons at the event will be treated to the debut screening of the 15-minute “Making Of…” DVD. Following the screening, actor Sean Astin will answer questions about the film and sign mini-posters while they last. Astin portrays Samwise ‘Sam’ Gamgee in the movie. New Line also provided Storyopolis with props from the New Zealand set for display. And, there will be a raffle and give-aways for qualified participants.
The film opens on December 19th in 10,000 theatres worldwide. A groundbreaking epic of good versus evil, extraordinary heroes, wondrous creatures and dark armies of terror, it has been told to 100 million people around the globe, in 25 different languages. It has recently been named the #1 most popular book of the century but it has never been told in its entirety on the screen. Beginning this year, New Line will present a grand trilogy of live-action feature films —
The Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King — that will take audiences inside Tolkien’s living, breathing mythology, the world that is Middle-earth.
The film features (in alphabetical order) Sean Astin, Sean Bean, Cate Blanchett, Orlando Bloom, Billy Boyd, Brad Dourif, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, Ian McKellen, Dominic Monaghan, Viggo Mortensen, John Rhys-Davis, Andy Serkis, Liv Tyler, and Elijah Wood.
Storyopolis Art Gallery and Bookstore is located at 116 N. Robertson Blvd., Plaza A, Los Angeles, California 90048. Hours are from Monday-Saturday from 10:00 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.; Sundays from 11:00 a.m. – 4:00 p.m. RSVP to the event to (310) 358-2512.

I thought I’d let you know that tomorrow (27th November) at 19:30 GMT on BBC1 in the Midlands region is a documentary entitled “Tolkien’s Middle Earth” as part of the program Midlands Report, the blurb from the Radio Times goes thus:
“As Hollywood prepares to release a film of JRR Tolkien’s novel The Lord of the Rings, Toyah Wilcox, a fan of the trilogy, meets some of the author’s relatives and afficianados to uncover key stories from Tolkien’s life in the Midlands”.
I’m not sure if you’ve heard of Toyah Wilcox on that side of the pond, she is an actress, TV presenter and some time punk singer. The midlands region is made up of the counties surrounding Birmingham, where Tolkien’s family still live.
