If there was another instalment, what would you call the 4th Lord of the Rings?

Ave., Cambridge: Discussion: Gregory Basshan & Eric Bronson will discuss and sign “Lord Of The Rings And Philosophy: One Book To Rule Them All”. [harvard.bkstore.com]

Another group has a written contract with him at an event on another coast entirely… and the actor has since informed organizers that he is definitely NOT attending TentMoot, and has told the TentMoot people so some time ago.

Update: BoE states that Bruce’s name was in fact taken off their list of confirmed celebrities for the event some time ago, but the Sponsor a Celebrity page had not been updated for some time. Bruce’s event schedule can be found on his personal site – Bruce-Hopkins.com.

But.. in point of fact… in that link that TORN posted today, not only is Mr. Hopkins listed as coming… he is still listed as being available for financial sponsorship by fans.
Don’t know about you… but as for me… this now puts the credibility of the rest of the “confirmed” guests somewhat in question.
You may want to check this out… or get someone else to do so. It would be a shame if Ringers were misled by incorrect information.

SW writes: I just spoke to UGC Cinema Group Head Office in UK – ( they had said that they were going to do a trilogy in one or two places). Now distributor has pulled plug on this idea. Spoke to distributor – they said – “no decision” has been made, but probably will not do a trilogy showing until after opening of ROTK. Direct quote from them was “This film has cost us a lot of money and we’re going to do whatever we can to make the most out of it.” When I pointed out that we seemed to be the only country on the planet that seems to be incapable of organising this event reply was “We don’t care what other countries do – we will make our decisions on the basis of what is best for us”
They obviously are totally unaware of the strength of interest in this event. I do believe that this bunch could not organise anything in an alcoholic drink production establishment.
Xoanon here, this is the first I’ve heard of the event NOT taking place…if anyone else has more information (not theories or complaints or petitions…INFO) drop me a line at xoanon@theonering.net
