Alvie send along this info, thanks to Jincey for the heads up!
You ever hear of Details Magazine? It has a section called Hot/Cold Meter saying what is currently hot and what is not. On the hot side it has this part that says *quote*:
Jar Jar vs Gollum, with memories of the Phantom Menace fading fast, the geek rumor mill has reason to go on: Peter Jackson’s LOTR is now in production. Will Gollum be the media’s next computer-generated punching bag? Oh, my precious, no!
This can be found on page 103 of the October issue of Details Magazine.

Saw that someone is broadcasting productions of The Hobbit and LotR (17 hours) over the internet using Shoutcast. Usually seems to be up during the day, like 7AM to 7PM or so, great for listening at work.
You can find it listed under the “Talk” genre or “Various” genre at shoutcast.com or live365.com. Or point Winamp or Sonique to 216.32.166.89:18710. 28.8 connection seems to be enough.

I spoted these images from Courtney Solomon’s upcoming Dungeons and Dragons – they may (or may not) give you an idea of what the orks and elves in The Followship will look like.

WETA effects hardly needs me to do their advertising for them, but some of you might be interested to go and look at their website (www.wetafx.co.nz) They are recruiting armourers,sculptors, designers, prosthetics technicians, all sorts of digital effects experts, even plain old software engineers, and dozens of other jobs too numerous to mention. So if that’s your dream and you want to follow it, go have a look.
Maybe now I won’t get people asking ME how they can get a job with WETA.
