The price of fame
15.07.2000 – By GREG DIXON
The very devil has arrived at Karl Urban’s door. He pushes the button of an ageing bell with no result, then knocks politely and waits for the actor to open up, let him in, make him welcome. [More]
Our latest Ringer Spy Mister Snitch (sounds promising doesn’t it?) sends news on what and where they’ll be filming when production starts up, still scheduled for July 24th.
The location guy is currently looking for some Wellington based locations to do some close ups of the big battle scenes being filmed in Twizel and the Desert road later this year. He was looking around the area by the wind turbine in Brooklyn Wellington and all around Wainouiomata and Eastbourne.
You can catch Hugo Weaving (Elrond) in ‘The Martix’ on Cinemax. [More]
Ringer Spy Jason sends in a small blurb concerning possible LOTr PC Games. [More]
J. Morris writes in with a link to some new images from the Video Software Dealer’s Association Show in Las Vegas (VSDA 2000). The images have a prop that we did not see in the initial report from this show! ( hrm..very strange) [spy report]
Wow! Thanks to J. Morris for this tip:
“To Whom it May Concern,
Not sure if this has been brought to your attention yet, but Bill Hunt’s DVD website “The Digital Bits” (www.thedigitalbits.com) has posted some pictures from the Video Software Dealer’s Association Show in Las Vegas. A couple of the shots show a small display case from New Line, featuring some props from LOTR. The page with the pictures is here:

One of the “props” appears to be a model of the odd, bug-eyed creature first spotted on the computer screen in the LOTR teaser (the one some people mistook for Gollum).

This is definitely something that was missing from last week’s IGN report. I wonder what the large “King Kong” looking thing can be. Possibly the troll we have seen so much of in the Internet Preview?
Another possibly idea: The Balrog? Doubt it. From all reports, WETA is guarding the Balrog tighter then Fort Knox.
But then again, why was this image left out of the initial report? Hrm…very interesting!
