Wow, check out this whopper of a story from Stuff.co.nz:
The Lord Of The Rings movie trilogy will cost $675 million, about $315 million more than previously reported, according to American magazine Vanity Fair.
The budget blowout, if correct, would make the Rings trilogy the second most expensive movie production ever, after the three new Star Wars films which cost about $736 million.…[more]
Note by Corvar: The $675m is likely in NZ dollars. Who knows what currency the Star Wars numbers are in. But in general, always be leary of an article in which two countries are involved and what currency they are talking about is excluded.

Nona from The Compleat Sean Bean sends in an interesting auction opportunity for those of you looking to get your hands on a Boromir signature. [more]
Nona from the Compleat Sean Bean has sent us this interesting tidbit:
Hi guys,
Celebrities including Sir Paul McCartney, the Duchess of York, Sir Michael Caine and Sean Bean have been showing off their artistic flair in aid of the endangered red squirrel in the UK.
More than 200 stars agreed to take part in a “scribble a squirrel” competition to raise awareness of the plight of the mammal, which could become extinct in England in the next decade.
The pictures are being auctioned on the Internet during Red Squirrel Week.
The auction will run for two weeks and will raise money for the North East Wildlife Trust and The Calvert Trust, charities which both work to raise awareness of the dangers facing the red squirrel in England.
The auction ends 29/09/2000 11:00 PM.
The QXL auction website is here, along with a list of all the celebrity contributors:
