From comingsoon.net Moviehole tells us that “The Matrix” trilogy and “The Lord of the Rings” trilogy star Hugo Weaving is attached to a couple of high-profile studio projects. First up, he’ll play a swagging hero in a new Jackie Chan vehicle called The Myth. An adventure film in the vein of “Indiana Jones”. Next, Weaving has a role in Little Fish, Rowan Wood’s new film about a troubled woman in Sydney’s little Saigon district. Martin Henderson and Cate Blanchett will co-star. [More]

The filming on Mount Victoria over the weekend was probably for the 48 hour film project which had around 47 film crews, including 3 from WETA, all trying to make an 8 minute movie in 48 hours. I doubt there was any Kong filming going on, everything was too hectic this weekend.
Also there are currently some dinosaur models on view at the Camperdown studios (you can see them through the window), although unfortuately my camera isn’t good enough to get a decent picture, sorry.
There were also quite a few “army” trucks parked around the Stone Street studios over the last week or so. With the expansion of Post on Park, Miramar is becoming one big film studio!
Hollywood, CA — June 15, 2004: Singer/songwriter Greta Gertler will arrange and perform a cover of the classic ballad “Leave Tomorrow Till It Comes” exclusively for the upcoming feature documentary, Ringers: Lord of the Fans. The song is familiar to Tolkien fans from the 1980 Rankin & Bass animated version of The Return of the King. Ms. Gertler’s remarkable sense of melody and orchestration breathes new life into a song originally recorded by “The Limeliters” vocalist Glenn Yarbrough. An original composition from Ms. Gertler, the aptly titled “The Ring,” will also appear in the film. [More] [Ringers Website]
