At the heart of Peter Jackson’s brilliant The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring–the first of three cinematic adaptations of Tolkien’s beloved fantasy is a favourable melancholy, a despair born of two things: the crucial feeling of desperation that infests a small band of heroes striving against an invincible evil.

RosaNegra sends us information on CineMania December’s issue with Frodo in the cover. Take a look! [More]
From: RosaNegra
I got CineMania December’s issue with Frodo in the cover. There are another 2 different covers : Gandalf and an Orc, but the magazine content is the same. This issue has a report about the films, as well as exclusive interviews with Viggo Mortensen, Liv Tyler and Elijah Wood.
Also, there is a CineMania LoTR special edition with Gandalf in the cover, and some studio photos I have not seen, (I was breathless when I saw Sean Bean he looks soooo handsome!!). It is an extraordinary issue, with actual and complete information about JRR Tolkien, the books, and the movies. They did a serious research, so far I have not found any mistake.
I think the most important information for LoTR mexican fans is that VideoCine (the one that will distribute LoTR in Mexico) will have a premiere in SixFlags Mexico this December 10th. The release in Mexico is in December 21th, probably at midnight in major cities.
A new Fellowship of the Ring ad premiered tonight during a slew of shows. I have compiled a real short description of it for your general interest. It is the best to date, if you ask me and hopefully there will be a quicktime version available online soon. [More]

– Standard large army shot
– Gandalf at the council
– The Ring engulfed in fire
– The Fellowship on Anduin

– A new sweeping shot of orc armies
– Some very ‘bright’ person on horseback
– Gimli on his knees at Balin’s tomb
– Samwise escaping the Cave Troll’s attack
– Caradhras
– Saruman on top of Orthanc
– The Watcher in the Water attacks Frodo
– The Cave Troll whipping at Legolas
– A full -sized hand reaching for a hobbit hand
– Aragorn
– Arwen crying
– Balrog foot in Moria
– Frodo on a balcony in Rivendell
– Armies of Elves and Men preparing for battle
– Frodo hugging Bilbo
– AMAZING shot of Nazgul racing away from the Flood. Complete with Horseheads on the waves
– Ringwraiths facing the Hobbits on weathertop
– Aragorn and Arwen kissing
– Gandalf conjures light from his staff
– Sauron reaching to the camera with the Ring

Its probably the best commercial so far. I’m sure it will be played for at least the next week! Watch for it during your favorite shows!
