In an ongoing attempt to keep you up to date with everything the confirmed cast is up to. I have this tidbit.

From TOMORROW’S People, a small blurb concerning Liv Tyler’s latest flick, ‘One Night at McCool’s’.

Fast Takes: The film editors of ‘One Night at McCool’s’, a dark comedy starring Liv Tyler, got a laugh while looking at the dailies. At one point during a lust scene with Paul Reiser, Tyler, as a dominatrix, was supposed to hit a pillow with her whip. She missed the pillow but not Reiser, who yelped very believably.

That is hilarious, Paul, I hope you’re feeling better. I remember Liv telling this tale to Leno when she was on last week.

If is obscure, and no one else has it? We certainly will! Do you have something about the confirmed cast? Send it to me! Xoanon@theonering.net

Thanks to Tinuviel for the tip!

Ok, So we have a casting change. Big deal, I mean I liked Stuart, I really did. I remember when the GODS came from up on high and told me the name ‘Stuart’. I was very excited. But these things happen.

Do you remember the Emperor from ‘The Empire Strikes Back’? It’s a different dude than ‘Return of the Jedi’ and ‘The Phantom Menace’.

And Captain Janeway from ‘Star Trek: Voyager’? A few weeks into filming there was another woman who was captain of Voyage (A montrealer, from my home town!) who was axed.

There many other examples of major cast changes in movies and television. These things happen. Think of it this way, Stuart was down there with the other Hobbit actors, and they didn’t get on, or maybe it was PJ and Stuart, who knows? But in an 18 month long shoot, that’s year and a half folks, do you think PJ would want someone who is causing stress to the rest of the cast or crew? or Himself? no way. Thus the descision was made.

I’m not going to comment on Stuart vs. Viggo, but I do hope that this change was for the best. Good luck viggo, if you indeed do sign the dotted line.

As for Stewart, we all wish you the best. πŸ™‚

Buzz is the Super Ringer Spy who brought me the news about Stuarts departure. Where is more of what he has to say:

This is from a *very* reliable source…Basically he was told on Wednesday morning, and was leaving the country by that afternoon.

The Ethan Hawke thing is total speculation though….the only hard fact is that Townsend was told thanks but no thanks. No details on payouts or how their relations stand though.

God…how terribly cloak and dagger…:-)

Our alert reader Tiggy sent in the news from this morning’s Dominion.

Apparently, conceptual artist Alan Lee broke his arm on Wednesday while on the set, according to some sources. The film company’s publicist would not comment on how it happened. Luckily the broken arm was not the arm that Lee draws with, and he is able to continue working.

After hearing all the hulabaloo, TheOneRing.net placed a call to Mortensen’s agent, who had this to say:

‘This cannot be confirmed right now’

Obviously not a ‘yes or no’ answer I was looking for. But It seems that something is brewing.
