As always, fan art has been updated with some great images.
Look for a Green Books update this wednesday.
Well Rivendell is just an example, but listen to what my good buddies at TheForce.net just handed over to me.
Is it possible for ILM to work on the upcoming Lord of the Rings trilogy and the mega sequel-prequel Episode II? We think this seems like too much to bite off at once, and it seems like the heads at ILM agree. The Tuesday Bagel Bandit checks in with this message:
Most everyone over at ILM says that currently they are not signed to work on Lord of the Rings and are also not actively bidding to get a piece of it. Seems it would be too huge a job to do especially considering that the schedule for LOTR runs concurrent with SW2.
Some of the current ILM projects include Rocky & Bullwinkle, Galaxy Quest, Space Cowboys, Sleepy Hollow, The Perfect Storm, and coming soon Mission to Mars and Episode II. Doing LOTR at this point would be possible, but HIGHLY unlikely.
So does anyone have any knowledge of this? Do any of you dudes at ILM come here? If you do, drop me a line! (I have a few ‘Han’s hand going through Jabba’ questions for you as well)
The mysterious Tehanu has taken human form once more and has ventured out to the Hobbiton set. This time she brings along photos of the very front gate that Elijah, Billy, Sean and Dominick will call home, for a short while anyways!
Check it out here. for more photos click on over to The Spy Reports and The News Archives in the ‘TheOneRing.net’ section on the nav bar!
Active Tolkien fan Mortimus had a look and sent in this description of the Bree set:
I saw Bree yesterday and it looked awesome. The set is wooden, extended onto old 2-storeyed army barracks (the site is a decomissioned fort in Seatoun) – about 30-40 metres long, basically forming a graded alleyway or small section of street with ‘frontages on either side. Shingled roofs, small windows, an arched doorway which looks to actually lead into the real entrance of the building behind it, and some steps leading up to this. No signage though. The odd thing is that there are residential houses next door and a public walking track overlooking this (the set is at the foot of a hill), so for the moment it’s been quite easy to get a look at what’s going on there – I imagine this will be closed pretty soon though!
OK, excellent work! Wonder what the neighbours are going to make of all that!

An alert fan saw a quick item on TV1 news to the effect that a film-set medieval village scene was being built in the hilly suburb of Seatoun, one of the suburbs next to where Peter Jackson has his studios. “With nobody admitting anything, TV1 thought it might be for LOTR!” said my informant.
Somebody down there, go have a look, would you?
