As reported today, Sunday the 3rd, in La Nacion news paper, FOTR has rocked this country. Here’s a little traslation of the small article (which has a pic of Saruman on the top of it by the way):
Record for The Lord of the Rings
In its opening day, Thursday, the movie “The Lord of the Rings” was seen by 66,792 spectators, a record in Argentina. Until now the films with the best Thursday initiations have been “Titanic” (64,483 people) and “Star Wars: Episode 1” (59,780). In only two days, in the pre-showing of Wednesday and the [official] opening of last Thursday the cinematomic version of the famous novel of J.R.R. Tolkien totalled 151,246 sold tickets in the country, a mark that many titles, however sucessful, go to great difficulties* [to achieve] in the course of one week.
So there’s my little traslation. What “great difficulties” (duras penas) is literally translated is “hard pains”. 😀 People have waited long enough for LOTR here, with me included, and can finally enjoy Legolas’ double arrow shot into the Cave Troll. Sweet….
‘The WB network is poised to acquire TV rights to the Lord of the Rings trilogy of films, in tandem with its sister Turner Broadcasting cable networks, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The long-term pact is valued at more than $160 million, the trade paper reported.'[More]
Thanks to pipper-noiter for the link.

guys would like to know.
LordoftheRings.net have posted some more fantastic conceptual paintings used in the creation of the film, this time featuring scenes from the trees of Lothlórien and a fantastic painting of the battle of the Last Alliance in Mordor, complete with Sauron overlooking the melee! [More]
