This I have to post, it’s not really news, but it made me laugh. Ever worry that New Line will go ‘Batman & Robin’ and really cheese the whole production up? Even in your worst nightmare you’ve never seen something like this:
Hi there. My brother and I are avid LOTR fans and recently took a class at Rice University all about Tolkien. … we jokingly comprised a soundtrack of popular music for the LOTR movies. Some are plays on words, some are actual songs that would be the score for certain parts of the movie. We thought you and your readers might enjoy this. Thanks. Nick and Adam G.
