New Zealand lords over Rings profits at star-studded premiere
posted by §fyre, 11/28/03, from Utusan Malaysia Online, Malaysia
Hollywood stars are to inject a dash of glamour into New Zealand's capital Monday for the world premiere of the last of the Lord of Rings film trilogy that have brought an unprecedented boom to the country's tourism industry. The film's New Zealand-born director Peter Jackson will join celebrities Liv Tyler, Sir Ian McKellen and Elijah Wood to attend the screening of last chapter in J.R.R Tolkein's epic fantasy in the New Zealand capital. But the real star of the show remains the islands' stunning landscape, whose role as the Hobbit-inhabited landscape of Middle Earth is expected to attract tourists for years to come. In honour of the recognition the three films - including Fellowship of the Ring, The Two Towers and The Return of the King - has brought for the country, New Zealand is pulling out all the stops for Monday's premiere.
Even rivals think Tolkien will triumph
posted by §fyre, 11/28/03, from Sydney Morning Herald, Australia
There has been speculation about Oscars. There has been prolonged and stormy debate about the characters and plot. But when the The Return of the King, the final instalment of The Lord of the Rings has its first media screening in New Zealand today, followed by a street parade, the real question is whether director Peter Jackson can succeed where the makers of the Matrix films have failed. Can the film version of J. R. R. Tolkien's epic fantasy, whose three parts were shot simultaneously at a reputed cost of $US310 million ($429 million), live up to its promise in the last chapter? Or will it disappoint, like so many recent Hollywood-backed franchises? Around the film industry, it is hard to find many seriously doubting that Jackson can deliver on his promise, though it is less certain his work will be recognised at the Oscars next year. A rival distributor, Mike Selwyn from United International Pictures, says that unlike The Matrix Revolutions, he cannot detect any advance scepticism, even within the business. While his company is releasing other potential hits over Christmas,Selwyn recognises the fanatical interest LOTR commands, from young males in particular and Tolkien fans in general.
Song spotlight
posted by §fyre, 11/28/03, from Cleveland Plain Dealer, OH
Former Eurythmics singer Annie Lennox landed the hottest soundtrack song of the year when composer Howard Shore tapped her to record "Into the West" for the "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" soundtrack (Reprise). Lennox, who only had seen the first of the three "Rings" movies when she recorded the song, says that the piece "is actually sounding quite special . . . quite a beautiful piece to give the people. This was a nice project for me to do." A deluxe version of "The Return of the King" soundtrack comes with a DVD that includes another song by Lennox, "Use Well the Days," as well as a documentary about Shore, a "supertrailer" for the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, lyrics, poems and still photographs.
Hobbiton emerges from paint pot
posted by §fyre, 11/28/03, from Stuff.co.nz, New Zealand
Matamata has taken on a Hobbiton look. The Waikato town first became Hobbit famous when director Peter Jackson chose a Hinuera farm to film the Hobbit scenes in The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Tours of the movie set have already attracted 12,000 visitors since they started last December. The latest Hobbiton initiative came from the Matamata public relations and business associations, which subsidised the costs of decorating shop windows in the town. Two signwriter-artists, Wendy Dalrymple and Wendy Arnold, are responsible for more than 60 shops that have already had the Hobbit treatment, and they are working on more. "We talk to the shop owners and work out what will suit each one," said Wendy Dalrymple. Happy Feet, a shoe shop, has painted Hobbit feet dangling at the top of the window and has changed its name to "Hairy Feet". A health shop has a Hobbit herb garden, while a real estate business has Hobbit holes for sale or rent. The New World supermarket has a Hobbit market scene and there is even the Hobbit Hole Internet Cafe.

Wellington is buzzing with tourists who have flocked to the capital for Monday's premiere of The Return of the King, the final film in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The city, hometown of director Peter Jackson, has been transformed into a film set, with props and posters in every second shop window. At the city's airport, a giant Gollum statue sits on top of the terminal building and sets from the first two movies line the corridors. Hotels are booked out and the only available accommodation is out of town.

He says advance sales for The Return of the King have eclipsed the second film's by around 70 per cent .
Gandalf vs Gorilla

Peter Jackson sure does keep it in the family - or rather the Fellowship. Not only is it highly likely that Andy 'Gollum' Serkis will be the man behind King Kong, but there's a strong likelihood that fellow Lord of the Rings star, Sir Ian McKellen will appear in Jackson's next film as well. Talking to New Zealand's Dominion Post, McKellen hinted that he'd certainly be up for a part. "[Peter Jackson] did say he might have something for me to do in King Kong and I hope that's true. It would be lovely."
Lord of the Rings: The story so far
posted by §fyre, 11/28/03, from New Zealand Herald, New Zealand
Draw nearer the fire, for the night is dark and strange things seem to move in the shadows, and I will tell you the tale of the Lord of the Rings, the Dark Lord Sauron, who made the one great ring, with all its terrible power, the ring spoken of in the ancient verse. Inevitably the greatest armies seen for many a lifetime will clash in a ferocious battle to decide the fate of the world, and many noble deeds will be done and many mighty warriors will give their lives for the cause. But those involved will know full well that the outcome will be determined not by mere force of arms, but by whether two humble hobbits are able to sneak into the very heart of Sauron's realm to destroy the ring in which so much of his power is vested, or whether the Dark Lord will regain his lost treasure and acquire the strength to sweep all before him. So amid the clash of steel and the stink of blood, the shouts of triumph and the cries of agony, all must wait to see if Frodo and Samwise and Gollum - for we must not forget Gollum - are able to accomplish their awesome task. And whether they do or not, we should all be aware that the world will never be the same again.
A barefoot Viggo lords it over the fans
posted by §fyre, 11/28/03, from New Zealand Herald, New Zealand
Barefoot, carrying a coffee plunger of water and sporting a United Nations badge on his jacket, Hollywood star Viggo Mortensen wandered into his own press conference as though he were planning to sit on the back lawn. But that's what big stars do, right? The night before, he was up well after midnight with friends at the Green Parrot late-night eatery, happy to sign autographs on napkins for besotted waitresses and customers. Where Viggo goes, the women flock. The attendance at his press conference in Wellington was larger than the Prime Minister could pull - and most present were women. The 45-year-old New York-born heart-throb was not prepared to talk about the event that brought him - and about 50 foreign journalists - to Wellington, The Lord of the Rings film trilogy. What he was happy to discuss were his other arts: photography, painting and poetry. He has two photography exhibitions opening in Wellington today - much of it work done while he was living here and making the film trilogy. Michael Hirschfeld Gallery curator Rebecca Wilson introduced Mortensen, saying he had "a large and very impressive body of work" and was "equipped with a range of creative tools".
Viggo's Heartfelt plea for better access to Kiwi art
posted by §fyre, 11/28/03, from New Zealand Herald, New Zealand
Viggo Mortensen yesterday wrote a letter to the Herald urging people to demand more access to some of this country's treasured artworks. Addressing it "To the people of New Zealand", he said he risked "sticking my nose where it might not be welcome". "I would like to encourage New Zealanders north and south to advocate the strongest possible connection between the exhibition venues and centres for learning at Te Papa and at Massey University." He said he hoped a way could be found through the bureaucratic red tape "to give the people of New Zealand a chance to regularly view some of the treasures that are safely stored at Te Papa".
Battle of the Somme... and Lord of the Rings
posted by §fyre, 11/28/03, from Belfast Telegraph, UK
JRR Tolkien never forgot what he called the "animal horror" of trench warfare. The sights which he experienced at the Somme, the images, sounds and the people he met, stayed with him until his death in 1973. But from that horror came the inspiration for his great work, The Lord of the Rings. A new blockbuster movie in the Lord of the Ring trilogy is due to hit cinemas just before Christmas. Meanwhile an exhibition opening in Northern Ireland on Monday will focus on the dark reality behind the fantasy - the horror which Tolkien and friends ,like the Belfast writer CS Lewis, author of The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, experienced in the trenches.
Capital frenzy as stargazers comb town
posted by §fyre, 11/28/03, from New Zealand Herald, New Zealand
Hobbit-watchers staked out Wellington venues yesterday, hoping for a glimpse of Lord of the Rings stars. Onslow College students Tom Dorman, Ollie Allen, Ryan Leger and James Graham, all 18, spent the afternoon outside the Hotel InterContinental on the off-chance of meeting their heroes. Many of the biggest stars of the film trilogy are staying at the hotel in the lead-up to Monday's world premiere of the final instalment, The Return of the King. And who did they most want to see? Liv Tyler, perhaps? "The hobbits, man," said Ollie. "I'd love to see Legolas and shake his hand," said James. "Then I can tell the girls I met Orlando [Bloom]."
Stars gather for Mortensen exhibition opening
posted by §fyre, 11/28/03, from Stuff.co.nz, New Zealand
The stars came out to play last night. Lord of the Rings trilogy director Peter Jackson led the procession of show business big names to the opening of actor Viggo Mortensen's photographic exhibition at the old museum in Buckle St. Rings actors Liv Tyler, Sir Ian McKellen, Elijah Wood, Billy Boyd, John Rhys-Davies and Sean Astin were among the celebrities. The stars have been arriving in Wellington all week for the world premiere of the final film, The Return of the King, on Monday. Last night was the first time they had all appeared in public together. It was Jackson's first public appearance in the run-up to the premiere at the Embassy Theatre. Sir Ian later left the exhibition to make a speech at Premier House for a $10-per-person function. It was organised by gay Labour MP Tim Barnett. Sir Ian said homophobia was "still a virus in the air". He said he should not be used as a role model because he took 49 years to come out. Mortensen was one of the first to arrive at his exhibition's opening. The actor, who plays Aragorn in the Rings trilogy, wandered past the security barriers, puckered up a couple of times for waiting fans and meandered off to find a quiet spot to learn his lines.

HOLIDAY films aspire to bigness -- big box office, big accolades and, ideally, big recognition at Oscar time. So get ready for the annual assault by big stars and Hollywood hype machines. Also expect a nudge-up on the quality meter from the deluge of movies that ran through multiplexes earlier in the year. [The majority of holiday releases will] probably be overshadowed by this season's 5,000-pound gorilla, "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King." Despite no reviews, it is the early favorite for best picture. Go figure. Dec. 17 "Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" -- To arms, to arms. We must help Frodo get to Mount Doom to destroy the One Ring before it destroys him. We have to convince Sam that he can squish the really big spider. And what of the mad but strangely amusing Gollum? Would you trust him? Quick, warn Frodo before the humongous final battle for Middle-earth's future. Find Gandalf. Find Aragorn. Find your place in line for the final installment of the trilogy before it snakes around the block. Elijah Wood, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Ian McKellen and Orlando Bloom spark the action. Director Peter Jackson keeps the story moving at an Oscar-worthy pace.
Did Peter Jackson save the best for last?
posted by §fyre, 11/28/03, from ComingSoon.net and Reuters
Reuters has published a new article on director Peter Jackson's The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and it sounds like great news for fans. "It's quite good. Nah it's fantastic! It's amazing, it's definitely the best," chirped Pippin Took. Being a hobbit, you would expect Took, otherwise known as actor Billy Boyd, to enthuse wildly about the last of the Lord of The Rings trilogy -- "The Return of the King," which premieres in the New Zealand capital, Wellington, on December 1. But the few whispers that have escaped from the sneak previews seem unanimous that director Peter Jackson has saved the best until last. The "Return of the King" is Jackson's favorite of the three, and features more action-packed battle scenes per foot of celluloid than the others. That full, two-page article is available at the link above. Meanwhile, Empire Online also has up their coverage of the third film, with much more in the magazine that hits newsstands today!

It's Wellington's Olympics. Monday's world premiere of The Lord Of The Rings, Return of the King will not only bring the city to a halt, it's also brought a city-wide makeover. In anticipation of the premiere and parade of the film's stars, including Elijah Wood, Sir Ian McKellen, Orlando Bloom, Viggo Mortensen and Liv Tyler, the city has undergone a transformation, with roadworks being rushed to completion, city garden beds freshly replanted and the city's main streets closing down on Sunday. Everywhere you look there's a flag, poster or postage stamp celebrating Peter Jackson's mighty achievement.
Gollum's cut
posted by §fyre, 11/28/03, from New Zealand Herald, New Zealand
James Griffin goes poolside in Hawaii to get the only (unauthorised) interview with computer-generated creature Gollum. The first thing you notice when meeting Gollum in the flesh (so to speak) is how much shorter he is in real life than he even appears on screen. Hobbits must tower over him. We're talking Kylie Minogue short. I reach down, we shake hands. The second thing you notice about Gollum is the smell of fish. We're meeting in a bar at the luxurious Grand Wailea Resort on Maui, where Gollum has been taking time off the publicity trail to "get my heads together, yes, get away from the s*#t, and working on my tan". The Hawaiian sunshine seems to have turned him a bluey-greyish colour. Whether this is a "tan" in Gollum-world, I'm not entirely sure. Gollum and I take our Mai Tais and a plate of sushi, and retreat to a poolside table. I ask him what it was like working with Peter Jackson. "The Master, yes. He who must be obeyed. Gollum loves the Master, yes he does. Gollum loves him with all his heart. Oh, yes." There's no truth to the rumours their on-set relationship declined to the point where Gollum would only communicate with his director by throwing dead animals at him. "We sees things differently, the Master and Gollum. Sometimes the way he treats us."

An excited Ian Brodie is experiencing a dream come true in Wellington as he prepares, bow tie in hand, to attend the world premiere of The Lord of the Rings: Return of the Kings. As author of the best-selling Lord of the Rings Location Guidebook, Mr Brodie, of Luggate, is one of only a handful of special guests to be invited to the swanky do on Monday night, along with the stars of the film and director Peter Jackson. "I'm just looking forward to seeing the end of the trilogy, although I know what happens," the long-time fan of Tolkien's books said yesterday from Wellington. He was also hoping to see himself on the big screen after securing a role as an extra selling bread in Gondor. "I'll find out if I've made the grade or I'm on the cutting-room floor."

Hollywood holiday

One Movie You Really, Really Have To See "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King" (director/co-writer Peter Jackson; starring Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Viggo Mortensen and Christopher Lee; based on "The Return of the King" by J.R.R. Tolkien). Opens Dec. 17. This is probably the most eagerly awaited movie of a year that has had some eagerly-awaited fizzles, including the two "Matrix" sequels. But it's hard to imagine Jackson and crew falling down for the grand climax after succeeding so brilliantly with the first two parts. Based on the hugely popular epic trilogy by Tolkien--with its richly imagined world of hobbits, dwarves, all-powerful wizards, dark powers and vast raging battles--this 3 1/2 hour epic should be one of the treats of the year. The movies so far have re-created Tolkien's world with finesse and scope, and offered lively flesh-and-blood counterparts for his human and non-human characters. This one should as well. How to prepare: Buy or rent the first two installments: 2001's "The Fellowship of the Ring" and 2002's "The Two Towers" on DVD, preferably in the expanded editions. Even better, local theaters will show extended versions of parts 1 and 2 for a week starting Dec. 5, and a marathon trilogy Dec. 16. Tickets are already on sale. Of course, try to read the novels first. They are, after all, three of the most popular books of the 20th Century.

The heat is on. New Line needs a victory, both as a vindication for Jackson and for the studio, which has never won a best picture statuette. So the studio is leaving nothing to chance. In addition to Mayer, the studio has hired an impressive array of publicists to aid its campaign, including such veterans as David Horowitz, Melody Korenbrot, Johnny Friedkin, Ronni Chasen and Gail Brounstein. As Mayer puts it: "It's a lot like a company hiring three or four different ad agencies to come up with a campaign. It's good to have a lot of people with different ideas and strengths."
