Los Angeles, CA, November 19, 2002 - New Line Cinema's The Lord of the
Rings: The Two Towers, the central film in Peter Jackson's epic
trilogy based on the J.R.R. Tolkien classic, is set to debut in
premiere showings around the world, it was announced today by Rolf

The film premieres in New Zealand, where The Lord of the Rings trilogy
was shot, in Wellington on December 18, and in Sydney, Australia on
December 19.
"The opening of this film has truly become a global event," Mittweg
said, "because The Lord of the Rings has been embraced by so many
different cultures. The first film has shipped 35 million DVD and VHS
units worldwide, a testament to the popularity of the trilogy and how
widely the fan base has broadened. Multiple premieres of The Two
Towers around the globe are a fun and appropriate way to celebrate
both the universality of Tolkien's themes and the excitement and
anticipation that is building among moviegoers."
