The trailer at last

It's been a while since I last gave any updates about the Lord of the Rings. Well, this one is good - the trailer for ROTK will make its debut around the world on Friday, September 26. In the US, a 2 min. 26 sec. trailer will be attached to the recently opened movie, Secondhand Lions. If you don't care for catching movies this weekend, well, the trailer will debut online next Monday, September 29. This great bit of news is courtesy of theonering.net, which I'm sure will be putting up links to the trailer come Monday.

I've been pretty distracted with grad school so I haven't had so much time to play watchdog for LOTR happenings, but what I do know is that some last-minute filming is still taking place in New Zealand (beyond their schedule), but Peter Jackson promises to let us have the movie come December 17. I haven't downloaded the countdown clock either, so I don't know how many days there are to the big day. I did try to place the clock on this website, but it didn't work.

There's also a new edition of Ian Brodie's The Lord of The Rings Location Guidebook. It will feature locations used for all three movies, including some that weren't in the first edition. You can get more information here. Ian Brodie is director of the NZ Fighter Pilots Museum in Wanaka, and when I received my book direct from the Museum late last year, he had kindly autographed it for me.
