The Los Angeles County Museum of Art will be holding a preview screening event of the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers on Saturday December 14th.

Martha, who dropped us the tip with the news, says that there will also be a “conversation” with Howard Shore prior to the film.

The price for the movie is $7.25 for members and $10.75 for non-members. Martha is unsure if tickets are still available — “these things have a tendency to sell out fast. You can either call 1-877-522-6225 or visit lacma.

I couldn’t find anything on lacma, but there are more pricing details on museumtix.com. You can can check it out here.

Back in August we reported that the current cut stood at 3 hours and 14 minuntes. Now, Kevin writes that a private theater here in Austin, Texas has posted a running time for the Two Towers of 2 hours and 43 minutes. [More] Updated!

I just picked up a Starlog related magazine called Fantasy Worlds.

There is also a five page interview with producer Barrie Osborne, a four page interview with John Rhys-Davies and a two page interview with Liv Tyler.

Here’s a little spoiler regarding a possible Boromir flashback from Barrie Osborne:

“We toyed with doing a scene where you actually get to see Faramir, Boromir, and Denethor in a flashback, in which Faramir is thinking back to how he got into the situation he’s now in. So there’s a scene with Faramir, his brother and his father, and it’s still in and out of the film. We’re not sure if it’s going to be in there or not.” (Interview with Barrie Osborne, “Making the Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers,” page 41)

The people at Starlog said to keep an eye out for the next few Starlog magazines as they have interviewed some of the cast members.

This issue features articles on Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. There are one page interviews with Karl Urban, Miranda Otto, Brad Dourif, and Bernard Hill. Enjoy!

Update:
I was reading through these interviews and I spotted this comment by Brad Dourif:

“There’s a scene between Wormtongue and Eowyn that we did ,[in which Wormtongue makes his romantic designs clear to her], and that’s not in the book.”

Now, it could just be that this picture of Grima and Eowyn that we revealed just yesterday is the scene Dourif refers to …
