More about Calendar, Today in Middle-earth LOTR/Kong Visual Director Art Show in SeattleKirsten sends this along: We thought you and other ringers might want to know about an art exhibit we have coming up with Jeremy Bennett (Visual Director on LOTR and King Kong). It opens on Friday October 10th 6-9pm (Jeremy will be at the opening!) here in Seattle. He will be exhibiting seven new paintings based off the work he did on Mordor. The exhibit will be at the Roq La Rue Gallery (2312 2nd Ave Seattle WA 98121), visit www.roqlarue.com for more info or call (206)374-8977. Here is his art statement: “For me conceptualizing shots in Mordor was a double edged sword, it was at an intense time in the production schedule and there was no room for error. It was fairly stressful to say the least but It seemed that for every problem that needed solving, wonderfully creative solutions were being offered up by all involved…”

Del Toro talks “feeding his brain” and gathering ideas “in order to conceptualize his own vision of Middle Earth unique from where Peter Jackson went in his “Lord of the Rings” trilogy…” Like Jackson, though, he believes in immersing himself directly in the history and sensibility that informed Tolkien’s experiences.

Talks ‘The Hobbit’Patrick Sauriol from movieset.com sends this in: Last weekend at the Vancouver International Film Festival’s New Filmmaker Day, Quinn, Patrick and myself sat down with well known and award winning director of photography, Guillermo Navarro, for a video interview. We found Navarro, who won an Oscar (and many other awards) for the other Guillermo’s (del Toro) film, Pan’s Labyrinth, to be open and wonderfully candid about all we questioned him on. After the READ MORE link is a 13 second teaser video of Navarro speaking about his possible involvement in the upcoming Peter Jackson and Guillermo del Toro telling of J.R.R. Tolkien’s classic, The Hobbit. It’s just a tiny taste, but later today we’ll see some more nicely edited video footage of Guillermo Navarro talking about shooting the recent Hellboy 2 as well as other exclusive information about the man and his storied career.
