TheOneRing.net is delighted to announce that the two guiding lights behind the creation of Ringers: Lord of the Fans will join us for a live Q&A chat in the Hall of Fire on Saturday December 17 at the special time of 5pm EST.
That’s right Cliff Broadway (aka TORn staffer Quickbeam) and Carlene Cordova (aka TORn staffer Asfaloth) will be on hand to answer your questions about the experience of making Ringers and their thoughts on what makes the Tolkien community so vibrant and vital even 50-plus years after Lord of the Rings was first published. They’ll also talk about their thoughts on the ways Lord of the Rings has influenced popular culture around the world over the years and filmaking in general. [More]

Dan writes: SoundtrackNet takes a look at the new expansive box set containing the complete recording of Howard Shore’s award-winning score to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring. “Howard Shore’s Oscar-winning, Golden Globe-winning, and Grammy Award-winning score to The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was just the beginning of an epic 12-hour long Lord of the Rings saga that would catapult him to the forefront of the film music world. Now, for the first time, the complete soundtrack to the extended DVD cut of the first film has been released in one very pretty package. Each film in the trilogy has a different tone, but in hindsight, The Fellowship of the Ring stands out more than its successors: it is the one that introduces and develops the majority of the key themes that would come to play massive roles in the world of middle-Earth and our understanding of it.” [More]

Edward Douglas writes: Most people will know Andy Serkis from…No, I can’t do it. I just can’t write another of my usual generic intros for this particular interview, since I’m beyond frustrated with how little respect Andy Serkis gets from his peers. For goodness sake! Let’s give this talented actor an Oscar already! He helped create one of the most fully realized CG characters on film, as Gollum in “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy, but now, he’s given humanity and true emotion to a giant CGI gorilla in Peter Jackson’s remake of the monster movie classic, King Kong, and yet, he’s probably going to be ignored again. It’s bad enough that he plays the title role in the movie, yet ends up getting fourth billing. [More]
