Viggo Mortensen: first Good - and then goodbye? |
|
|
|
|
"Viggo Mortensen should be happy. His past three movies have been critical smashes. He snagged a Best Actor Oscar nomination for one of them (Eastern Promises). And he played the title role in the 11-time Academy Award-winning Lord of the Rings: Return of the King, the last in the most financially successful movie trilogy of all (current global box-office takings: nearly £2 billion). In short, he has finally arrived. And yet, ironically, just when he should, in his own words, “be making hay”, the 50-year-old star is abandoning the movie business..."

TORN talks with LOTRO for game's second birthday |
|
|
 |
"May 4th, 2009 by MrCere | Discuss
“The Lord of the Rings Online,” launched two years ago, gives players a chance to explore first-hand, a gaming interpretation of Middle-earth. TORn checked in with three of the individuals behind the game: (Jeffrey Steefel, LOTRO Executive Producer; Harry Teasly, LOTRO Art Director for LOTRO; Adam Mersky, Director of Communications for parent company Turbine) to talk about the game’s past and its future. There are several promotions in place right now for the game, lots of game details at the end of the article including an exclusive giveaway for TORn readers!
For two years now, via a home computer, you can walk and run around Middle-earth (and LOTRO always correctly uses the lower-case “e” in earth, a good sign) and experience the sights, sounds, races, spaces and dangers of Tolkien’s fictional creation during the time of his “Lord Of The Rings,” books.
“This game is going to be around for a long time,” Steeple said. “We don’t want the same game we launched in 2007, we have learned some lessons over the past two years..."
