A big thank you to Gillian Flynn for her time and insite, you’re welcome back anytime!
What can only be described as the most annoying rumor in the unvierse has reared it’s ugly head again. Is Sean Connery in NZ? Sean, buddy, listen to me, if you are in NZ drop me a line ok? 514.947.5221 ok? Just do it! Just say ‘yesh’ or ‘no’ and that’s it ok?
From the cool dudes over at CHUD
From ‘Ash’:
“I can 100% guarantee that Sean Connery was in New Zealand as I followed him around the shopping mall. I first heard rumors that he was in the area when a friend reported that he had been seen in a Cafe near where Peter Jackson’s headquarters are based in Miramar, Wellington. Anyway walking through North City Plaza in Porirua City, Wellington, New Zealand I spot this gentlemen dressed as a Arab Shiek two body guards in front, two to the side and two behind. I decide to follow and find out more. On entering a bookshop the said fake Arab lifts his head dress away from his face and in a voice that only a deaf person wouldn’t recognise asks for todays paper. God I wish i had a camera. So any of those rumors about Sean being in New Zealand can be given a big tick of true.”
So is Connery narrating the films? Is he playing Witchking? Is he just on vacation and dressing up
like an Arab for pleasure? Only time will tell, but he is in the country and his agent must have reason to deceive, unless he really didn’t know where his client was. The Sean Connery rumor mill begins to turn yet again.

Tehanu discusses the Kalevala and Egil’s Saga, and tries to make a start on the Silmarillion. It’s in the “Features” section as usual.
Our first contributor to this section is Ursula K Le Guin, one of the most influential writers of fantasy and science fiction for the last thirty years. She kindly allowed us to reprint parts of an essay she wrote recalling her response to “The Lord of the Rings” and the impact it had on her as a young writer.

While I cannot post it up, due to the fragile nature I recieved this info. But I will summerize what I have read from Arwens’ Audition Script.
While it was only a very short scene, (most audition scripts are) it deals with Arwen and Aragron. They are about to enter battle, and Aragorn does not want Arwen to fight.
She surprizes him by pulling back her hood to reveal who she is, he tells her:
This is madness! Your immortality will not save you from an Orc blade.
They argue abour her staying, Aragorn tells her that this place will be filled with Orcs in an hour.
Arwen claims:
I have lived through worse.
While I have read many audition scripts, I find that the actual text changes when I finally see it on the screen. This script did not surprise me, we’ve all heard about ‘Arwen: Warrior Princes’, I’m hoping Liv Tyler can hold back on the killcrazy blood and guts that everyone is worried about.
