I’m pleased to report that TORN will have full representation again for Comic-Con International, held each year in San Diego, California. This is, “America’s biggest comic book and pop culture event,” and TheOneRing.net will be on board with a one-hour presentation for Thursday, July 19, from 6:00 – 7:00 pm. This blurb will appear in the convention’s program publication:
TheOneRing.net is excited to take you one step closer to the Lord of the Rings movies at Comic-Con! TORN will offer a one hour presentation highlighting locations, cast, crew, movie information, and rumors. Come meet some of TheOneRing.net staff and take a bite out of Tolkien fandom!
Our staffers at this con will be yours truly and the illustrious Quickbeam of GreenBooks fame. We look forward to meeting and greeting you TORNados and the rest of the folks at the Con. If you miss us at the presentation, we’re sure to be near the LOTR New Line action too.
To read more about Comic-Con or find out how to get there link here. You may not find TORN on the internet program yet as we just finalized this plan, but don’t doubt we’ll be there! Drop me a line if you have any questions or you think you’ll come see the show.
Nona from ‘The Compleat Sean Bean’ sends along link to scans from the latest issue of ‘NOW Magazine’ and their coverage of LOTR. [More]
Ringer Spy Jers sends along word of an article from New Zealand’s ‘Export News’.
Talking of premieres and celebrations, TORN would like to see Tolkien fans have their own ‘Fellowship’ bash on the 19th, right here in New Zealand. It should be a big glamour event, given that we’ve got a chance to have the first public screenings in the world (it’s the dateline thing acting in our favour!) Ideas, suggestions, and expressions of interest to tehanu@theonering.net – we need to get an idea of numbers. Meanwhile, watch this space.
According to NZ’s ‘Onfilm’ magazine, the NZ premiere is expected to take place in the famous old Embassy theatre in Wellington on the 19th. Peter Jackson is a trustee of the theatre. Some of the stars are supposedly coming back for the celebrations in NZ. Meanwhile New Line boss is quoted in the Evening Post as being ‘thrilled’ with the finished rough cut of the first movie. “…he was pleased artistically and commercially” according to EP Mark Ordesky.
