And now the "Dark Kingdom" PR begins

[dianeduane]

And now we have an exact airing date: March 27-28.

"'Dark Kingdom' is an action-packed, visually stunning film with an epic love story at its heart," said Thomas Vitale. "The scope and scale of this fantastical miniseries will make it one of the highlights of our channel's 2006 programming slate."

But as usual I foresee that this slight misunderstanding of the source material is going to ruffle some feathers here and there:

"EPIC TALE THAT INSPIRED TOLKIEN'S 'LORD OF THE RINGS' TRILOGY"

(sigh) Oh well.

Fairly good review of the DVD in SFX magazine, by the way. Even if the reviewer suffered a major brainfart and thought Uli was Uwe Boll.

And after watching the extras, I don't want to meet Kristanna in a dark alley with an ax, not unless she's on my side.

Yes indeed. We saw some of the "training dailies" that didn't make it into the DVD. She was very, very good with the quarterstaff that they were using instead of a spear. I wouldn't mess with her any time she was near a broomstick or mop handle. :)
