You might like to let our Australian fans know that there are TWO specials being aired on TV this weekend: The Quest for the Ring on Saturday night at 10:30pm and, on Sunday night at 9:30pm, SBS’s “Masterpiece” series will be showing “J.R.R. Tolkien—An Awfully Big Adventure”. Here’s what my TV guide says about the latter:
“With the much-anticipated release of the first instalment of director Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy only days away, this documentary gives Tolkien fans a rare insight into the modest Oxford professor who created the rich and complex world of Middle Earth (sic). Featuring rare BBC interviews with Tolkien, as well as his biographer Humphrey Carpentet and members of the Tolkien Society (who provide a bit of light relief with their scary grasp of the Elfish (sic) tongue), An Awfully Big Adventure describes how an orphan from Birmingham adapted Celtic and Norse legends to produce one of the most enduring and popular novels in the English language”.

Dimitri writes: I just thought I’d recommend checking out the latest edition of Soundtrack Magazine — there’s an interview with Howard Shore and Peter Jackson on the LOTR: FOTR score. There are also two more Shore interviews featured in the latest FilmScoreMonthly as well as Music From The Movies.
Anyone with scans of those articles send them along.

At three hours, “Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring” is too short for some J.R.R. Tolkien fans. [More]

In an apparent last minute scheduling move, Sean Astin (Sam) is NOT appearing on The Late Show With Craig Kilborn tonight. We do not know the reason for this, if anyone does, drop us a line.
