Ian McKellen (Gandalf) has updated his ‘epost’ section of his website. And be sure to check out their new and very cool contest! [More]

Radaster writes: The premiere in Macedonia will be shown on 24 th of January (City oF Skopje) and there is a lot of hype and madness around here. Everyone just waits to buy the tickets and have their passage to Middle-earth.

Jeff writes: I was watching the Critics’ Choice Awards on Monday night, Sean Astin and Orlando Bloom were presenters of the Best Young Performer Award, which went to that little girl in “I Am Sam,”. She was so tiny that she couldn’t reach the podium, much less the microphone, so Orlando picked her up and held her up to the microphone for her acceptance speech, which was long and adorably precocious.

The goal: Keep Fellowship of the Ring at the top of the box office. How can we do it? Go see Fellowship of the Ring this week. Save your ticket stub. Win great prizes! It is that easy. [More]

TheOneRing.net is trying to keep Fellowship of the Ring at the top of the box office this week. The concept is easy: Go see Fellowship of the Ring. (I know I know, life is rough…but if we ‘have’ to..heh) Save your ticket stub. Get to a scanner and send the ticket stub to me, at calisuri@theonering.net.

The Prizes
We have some great prizes to help encourage you to get out there. Not that the film isn’t enough incentive…but just in case, we have amazing prizes from Sideshow/Weta Collectibles and a little something which is only available at the official Lord of the Rings shop.

The Rules
So what is the deal? How does this work? Listen up, and I’ll give you the low down.

• If you have seen LOTR during the week of Jan 15th – Jan 20th 2002, you are eligible to enter.
• Eventhough we are trying to rig…err…help the US Box Office of FOTR, you can still enter if you are outside of the United States.
• You must save your ticket stub from the viewing.
• You must scan your ticket so that it is clear and legible. If there is any blurriness, for example, your entry will sadly be rejected.
• Once you have the scan, email the file, your name, and postal address to me, Calisuri, at calisuri@theonering.net. Please keep the file as a .jpg, .gif, .bmp, .tif or .psd. Other formats are going to be pretty tough to convert.

That’s it. It is really that easy folks. The goal is to make Fellowship of the Ring one of the most successful movies ever, and to beat the competition this weekend at the box office.

As always, read the fine print in our contests section.
