Tehanu got an unexpected visitor, a very cranky person indeed! Read about it in Spy Reports. [More]

A big grumpy guy knocked on my door and delivered this trespass notice. I don’t think he’s used to seeing people burst out laughing when he shows up at their place. I’ve never been to this place (it’s the Helm’s Deep set)and the film company is very keen to make sure I never do! It’s hard to tell whether they think they’ve seen me there. If somebody is out there impersonating me, keep this in mind – I have a heck of an alibi when I’m 650km away and working as a performer in front of hundreds of people.

The NZ Dominion has reported that LOTR Producer Tim Sanders has quit the production. In a statement Sanders claimed that it was his decision to leave. In another statement Barry Osborne, another producer on the project commented.
“Tim’s been involved with this project since the very early days and done a wonderful job. He’s a great guy, he’s done a great job. But I’ve been here for quite a long time. This project has been a complicated one and he’s done well to get this thing up and off the ground.”
It was stressed that monetary concerns was not the reason Sanders left.
Unless you are on Kiwi time like me and are up at 2:55 am. You can check out Kevin Conway (Theoden) in ‘Rambling Rose’ on TMC at 2:55 Monday morning.
