"It is my pleasure to announce the opening of Middle Earth Trader, the "one-stop" site for the Tolkien Collector Enthusiast.
Middle Earth Trader is a Tolkien-related collectible directory that allows sellers to post classified ads or links to auctions within our directory while giving buyers a starting point to search for items to finish that special collection. We also give registered site sponsors a banner placement and the ability to post news articles about new collectibles as they come out." [More]

"The reason I write you is that I was at the location when they filmed LotR. My character was a fighting human at the battlefield. I was just down there for about 5 days, but it was the greatest time of my life." (More)

"Just had a copy of an article one of our bods was interviewed for come through. It's Stern Magazine (Nr 9) 22.2.2001, pp 204-209. Full page pix of the orcs from the April 00 teaser, Aragorn fighting orcs by the ruin, that one of Arwen with the sword, Gandalf at the Council of Elrond, the hobbits, JRRT & PJ."
Sounds pretty good! Thanks to Ian for that alert.

Harry Potter vs LOTR.....again
3/02/01, 9:05 pm EST - Xoanon
I can't believe no one has reported this yet, but yesterday the BBC showed the trailer for 'Harry Potter', but placed some scenes from the Lord of the Rings teaser in the report, saying
"..Harry Potter will face strong competition from another film adaptation of a Children's classic featuring wizards: The Lord of the Rings"
(cue scene from the teaser, The One Ring enlarging to show armies of Mordor, all the way to Liv Tyler sleeping on the bench in her funky red frock).
I hate the media for trying to make it look like a competition between the two films. That said, my sister, who has never had much interest in Tolkien was rather psyched to start reading LOTR after seeing those teaser shots...
Still, I really could care less about the whole competition dealie.
Same here Sean, same here...

"The UK's Total Film magazine has a "2001 Films" section, with a four-page spread of LOTR, and a little interview with Cate Blanchett. Images and interview aren't new -the large images are Gandalf at Moria, and the shot of Arwen which was in Entertainment Weekly, I believe."
Thanks for that!
