Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.
That last trailer was a thing of beauty, and it doesn’t surprise me that hype is now officially kicking into overdrive. New Line has gotten LORD OF THE RINGS down to a science now, and there’s no studio and no campaign more confident as we head into the holiday season. Even HARRY POTTER doesn’t have it’s shit together the way THE TWO TOWERS does.
I wish I was in Toronto right now. Or, more correctly, about a month from now. Don’t think it’s going to happen, though, so that means I have to just envy all you lucky people who are in Toronto at that point.
Why? Check it out...
Heya Harry
Came across this the other day at Toronto Star.com, and thought it might interest you.
Lord Of The Rings fans in Toronto will get a chance to explore the Middle-earth setting of The Two Towers before the movie opens Dec. 18. Costumes, drawings, props and footage from the movie will be displayed Oct. 31-Nov. 30 at the ROM's (Royal Ontario Museum) former McLaughlin Planetarium wing in an exhibit designed to give fans the feeling they are entering the mythical lands where the second of The Lord Of The Rings movie trilogy takes place. Huge crowds at a similar pre-movie display last year at Casa Loma before release of The Fellowship Of The Ring, plus the first movie's healthy box office figures in Canada, convinced distributor Alliance Atlantis to set up the only North American exhibit of The Two Towers artefacts. The Fellowship grossed $53.5 million in Canada, which represented 17.25 per cent of the North American total.
Patrons at The Two Towers exhibit will journey through the Fangorn Forest, the Golden Hall, Helm's Deep, Glittering Caves and Isengard Caverns before reaching Rivendell. It will be set up by the movie's designers, Dan and Chris Hennah, who will com e from New Zealand to prepare the display. Tickets, which go on sale through Ticket King tomorrow, cost $15 for adults, $12 for seniors and students, and $7.50 for children.

I went to the one held at Casa Loma last year, and it was an amazing exhibit. Maybe this will be a good enough reason to come visit your eskimo friends to the north! I'll send you another exhibit program if not.

And as if that trailer wasn’t enough of a tease, New Line’s showing people a bigger block of footage right now that sounds insane:
We've been hearing for a while that New Line Cinema has been showing sixteen minutes of TTT footage, and so we sent our Crebain from Pasadena out to find out what they could. Today they returned with this spoiler-filled report! After reading it, you'll believe a dwarf can fly. ;)

Thanks, David.
December is a long, long way away... damn it...
"Moriarty" out.
