Several clips of Elijah Wood’s appearance last week on Britain’s Friday Night Project are now available on YouTube. If you remember, the staff of the Friday Night Project contacted TORn early last week in search of Tolkien Fans for the audience. Elijah definitely has a good time as the show’s guest host, takes a lot of good natured ribbing, and talks at length about both The Lord of the Rings movies and one of his latest projects, The Oxford Murders, set to open this year. Check out the clips and see if *you* could pass the “who knows the most about the guest host” quiz! Thanks to Garfeimao for the link. Watch the clips
We are now looking for someone to take centre stage on The Friday Night Project and go head to head with Elijah Wood in a quiz to see who knows the most about Lord of the Rings. The person must be a super fan, and ideally do more than just your average fan. For example, we want a fan who organises conventions in their spare time, or holds LOTR parties, or dresses up as a Hobbit, or has named their children after a Tolkien character!
The fan will be on stage with Elijah and take part in one round of quick fire questions, with the first to three winning. It is a hugely fun show, and this quiz is meant to be some light hearted fun - nothing too serious and nothing scary! If you think that you are this fan, or that you know of someone who is this fan, then please get back in touch to me ASAP. Filming is this Thursday evening in Central London. Thanks to Ian for passing this on from James. james.emtage@princesstv.com.
Ian Smith writes in: “Elijah Wood is on the Friday Night Project soon and they’re recording the show on Thursday, April 10th. They’re looking for fans for the audience. To quote the researcher who contacted me they’re “looking for people who are big fans of The Lord of the Rings, especially the films Elijah starred in.” In particular people who’ve gone to conventions. When I spoke to the researcher he said they WEREN’T looking for people in costume (although that’s fine if that’s your thing) but he was particularly hoping to find someone with a tattoo or someone who could speak Elvish to actually appear on the program, perhaps in a “fan questions for Elijah” section. Anyway if interested you can contact the researcher here: james.emtage@princesstv.com. Lucky U.K. Fans!!

Entertainment Weekly has posted a listing of the top thirty actors/actresses under the age of 30. And guess what? Elijah Wood makes an appearance.
The Lord of the Rings franchise made Wood a megastar, but the actor has used his box office power for good instead of evil in off-beat movies like Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (2004) and Everything Is Illuminated (2005).
