Well, feeling let down that this week there was no Live Chat? Well hope is on the horizon! Next weeks chat guest will be Entertainment Weekly<\/b> reporter Gillian Flynn<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Gillian recently wrote a great article about LOTR and internet fandom. She blew people away with her enthusiasm and knowledge of Tolkien lore! So I asked her to come on over to Barliman’s to chat. The time and the date are yet to be determined, but it will be the week of October 4th.<\/p>\n

Here is the photo from the article and the first two paragraphs. Check it out and join us to ask Gillian your Tolkien, media, movie questions!<\/p>\n\n\n

Tolkien fans hit the Web over Lord of the Rings movies-two years early <\/p>\n

First of all, Frodo is the coolest, and Elijah Wood is the best-the best-to play him. Second, if Christopher Lee doesn’t rule as Saruman, I will not see the movie. Third, they won’t get any big actresses-the women’s roles are too small. Eeeil Meej cen el Kate Winslet. That’s Elvish for “I totally love Kate Winslet.” Who won’t be in the movie. Which kills me.<\/p>\n

There’s talk on the Internet, lots of talk, about the trio of live-action Lord of the Rings films, which director Peter Jackson (Heavenly Creatures, The Frighteners) is filming back-to-back-to-back over the next 18 months for New Line Cinema. Now some facts: There are several hundred websites devoted to J.R.R. Tolkien’s literary masterpieces. <\/p>\n

Already half a dozen Ring hubs are scuffling to be the top providers of scoop on the films. And in May, New Line launched its official www.lordoftherings.net -thought to be the earliest film-site debut ever-as the tip of a savvy online marketing plan for the movies.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
