ourdramaqueenCheck out first pics of Jerry Vanderstelt's RotK lithograph here. Here's hoping we'll see more soon! No release date yet.
Also, documentary Reclaiming the Blade, narrated by John Rhys-Davies and various people involved with LotR like Viggo Mortensen, Karl Urban, and Richard Taylor, can now be pre-ordered on DVD, featuring lots of extras.
Shore shares insights on ‘Rings’ trilogy: When director Peter Jackson asked Howard Shore to compose the score for “The Lord of the Rings” film trilogy, Shore studied J.R.R. Tolkien’s fantasy world before beginning four years of writing music.
At a Master’s Tea Tuesday afternoon, Shore shared insights about composing, orchestrating, conducting and producing more than ten hours of music to accompany “The Lord of the Rings” films in front of more than 100 students in the Branford College common room. The Academy Award-winning composer, who also wrote the scores for “Mrs. Doubtfire” and “Doubt,” among others, also told stories about working on other genres of music before his venture into cinema. More at the link.
And speaking of Howard Shore: T-4 days until Two Towers Live in Lucerne with Howard Shore! \o/ Not sure if I should take my (pretty heavy) leatherbound edition of LotR with me to get autographed after the concert, or if I should just stick to the TTT Complete Recordings. Decisions, decisions... :)
