 In December 2003, a group of homeless people in Stockholm, Sweden,  started queuing for tickets to "Alexander", scheduled to premiere in  November 2004. They intended to live in tents outside a movie  theater in the city center for a year. This silent protest, intended  to draw attention to the homeless in the Swedish capitol, was  inspired by a local politician who said it is both legal and fully  acceptable for fans to camp out for weeks in central Stockholm to  get tickets to a movie premiere. At the time, the movie in question  was _Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, The (2003)_ (qv).
