"Her bright hair, released from its bonds, gleamed with pale gold upon her shoulders. Her eyes grey as the sea were hard and fell, and yet tears were upon her cheek. A sword was in her hand."
Selling Gollum Statuette for Charity! on: November 07, 2012 03:37
Greetings LOTR fans!
Just a quick post to let you know about a great opportunity to add to your collection of Lord of the Rings collectibles and memorabilia!
To raise money for the Gulf Region Advocacy Center’s (GRACE) 10th Anniversary Gala, Joe Letteri of WETA Studios has generously donated a number of signed and unsigned pieces of film memorabilia.
As you probably already know, Joe is the Senior Visual Effects Artist at WETA and has worked on a number of blockbuster films including: the Lord of the Rings (Two Towers and Return of the King), Rise of the Planet of the Apes, Star Wars, and Jurassic Park.
All of the items Joe has donated are being sold as part of GRACE’s silent auction, hosted by Third Planet Comic Superstore in Houston. You can find them at http://www.facebook.com/ThirdPlanetSciFiSuperstore or call at (713)528-1067.
I would specifically like to draw your attention to the Gollum Statuette we have available (but feel free to browse the other articles, such as the signed movie posters, etc). This piece was handcrafted by the same creative team which produced the special effects for the Lord of the Rings films and is exclusively available in the Weta Cave store in Wellington, New Zealand. That’s right - you can’t buy this version online, you’d have to travel to New Zealand otherwise!
All monies raised will be donated to GRACE to continue their direct legal representation of poor prisoners across the U.S.A.
