Sam got some interesting news from the Wingate set. Is this for real? Or are these whoppers from Wingate? (more)
Sam sent this in from Wellington, in reference to our news from the Wingate set:
“Two bits of news here. I was talking to one of the Wingate guards (nice guy, actually), and he told me that there was a company working hard to get LotR footage and sell it over the internet, and it was the one with the Jollywood sign, previously mentioned. That building was right opposite the set, and had dark windows and white vans and stuff. www.jollywood.com has recently been registered, don’t know if this is related…
Also, those rectangular pits no-one knows anything sbout? They’re probably, the guard says, for burning the set once they’re finished there. There are already broken polystyrene columns in one pit, that I could see. The guard wouldn’t give me any. 🙂 Apparantly, they tried to dump a whole lot at the nearby dump, but it was polystyrene, so they weren’t allowed to. But if anyone wants to check the dumps, it may be worth it!”
What the…? Are people going mad? Is somebody telling whoppers?(wouldn’t be the first time!) Is this Jollywood thing at all plausible? Well, keep your eyes open, Sam!

From: Karl J
An article in The Age newspaper about the David Wenham (Faramir) film “Better Than Sex” included this brief discussion of LOTR:
He is now busy playing Faramir in Peter Jackson’s three-film adaptation of JRR Tolkien’s The Lord of the Rings. The massive production has been enclosed in a George Lucas-like cone of secrecy. Can Wenham offer any insights?
“It is shrouded in secrecy, but that’s fair enough, because Peter wants to make it a great surprise when eventually the first film’s released in a years time. It’s such an enormous project, hugely ambitious, but God, it’s so exciting.”
Had he read it?
“Now I have!” he says. “When I got the job I hadn’t read it, but, I must say, I’m not the only actor where that’s been the case! Now that I’ve discovered the book, I keep thinking, ‘Gee, I wish I’d read this when I was in my teens’.”
So, david. The Lord of the Rings. Whats it about? Twenty-five words or less. he laughs.
“Well, it’s just a bloody good road movie, I suppose!”
