CINEFEX #92

Featuring The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers! New Zealand director Peter Jackson returns with the second film installment in J.R.R. Tolkien's classic trilogy about a fellowship of hobbits, wizards, drawfs, elves, and men who battle the forces of darkness to destroy the One Ring and preserve Middle Earth. Weta Digital, which won the visual effects Oscar for the first film, turns its attention to creating the epic-scale battle of Helm's Deep, the assault on the fortress Isengard by the Ent tree beings, and an all-digital character of great dramatic range, Gollum. Director Rob Cohen reinvents the secret agent film with actor Vin Diesel as an extreme athlete recruited by the U.S. government to infiltrate an international terror organization bent on world domination.  Effects for the film, including an enormous avalanche, have been created by the Oscar-winning visual effects team at Digital Domain.  (Cinefex)
