BLANCHETT TO STAR IN NZ-BASED MOVIE
Australian actor Cate Blanchett will co-star in the New Zealand-based movie trilogy “The Lord of the Rings”.
The $360 million project is based on the JRR Tolkien novel of the same name and will be directed by Wellington film maker, Peter Jackson.
The project’s backers say Blanchett will play an elf queen, while Hollywood actress, Liv Tyler, will play an elf princess.
Filming is due to begin on Monday and expected to take a year to complete.
Super Spy J has sent me some rather cool stuff. Check out a photograph and an original cell from Bashki’s ’78 Cartoon movie. Check it out in The Spy Reports.

J has come through with a great cell and a photograph from ’78 Bashki ‘movie’. A little Blast from the Past for you folks
My Contact has slipped me yet another bit ‘o script from the Arwen auditions!
You hardcore Tolkien fans are certainly going to like this. The sequence follows the first meeting of Arwen and Aragorn. Aragorn mistakes her for Luthien, an immortal lady who chooses to become mortal for the love of a man.
The interesting bit is, this isn’t really mentioned in the Trilogy, but in Appendix A part V, someone has done their homework!
The rest of the scene is a rather nice meeting of these two characters.
The meeting takes place in Rivendell, and Aragorn is surprised to learn she is a child of the Eldar.
ARAGORN
(sighs)
I know it. I am mortal, and you are Elf kind.
Liv Tyler, better known as Arwen. Was on ‘The Tonight Show With Jay Leno’ last night, October 7th. Liv and Jay spoke of her latest film, Plunkett & McLaine as well as her next film.
The only LOTR mention was at the very end when Jay asked her where she was off to, he then answered the question himself, New Zealand.
Sigh, I just WISH he would have asked her something about LOTR, oh well.
