Xoanon here,
Half of this report comes from Cinescape, the other half is also from Cinescape, but it was emailed directly to me by Cinescape Insider Chris Kivlehan, enjoy!
Christian Joining ‘Rings’?
It’s often mentioned that The Lord of the Rings was an influence on J. Michael Straczynski’s Babylon 5 television series. According to rumors, B5 could have an influence on the Lord of the Rings movie. Ain’t It Cool News ran a report recently that suggested that actress Claudia Christian said at a sci-fi convention that she had been cast in the three Lord of the Rings movies. Seeking confirmation, the Insider placed a call to Christian’s representatives. Unfortunately, I was informed that it is “just a rumor”, and not true as far as they are aware.
More On Izabella
Cinescape has learned that the movie Scorupco was refering to is Vertical Limit, the next action film from Mask of Zorro director Martin Campbell. For details check out www.cinescape.com. Thought you might want to update your readers on that bit.

OH MY GOD! KOTUKUNUI sent me these this morning:
I have some photos to contribute to the LOTR visual record. The photos that Tehanu and Cameraman took of the Matamata set are actually the site carpark. The actual set construction work is going on in the small valley below. (Not visible from the ground)
HOBBITON1.JPG shows the general layout of the dell, lake and general site.
HOBBITON2.JPG shows a bit more of the construction works. The aforementioned carpark is at the top of the photo. The sun was quite low so shadows are a problem, but I will obtain better images at a later date.
You can use the alias KOTUKUNUI as your source if you want to publish the photos on your site.
Cheers

‘The Sunday Star Times’ reports that we may find out who’ll be in Peter Jackson’s film adaption of the classic trilogy sooner than expected. Jackson’s publicist Sian Clements said yesterday “The big roles were being cast now and an announcement was likely in about a month. They would be filled by a mix of famous actors and unknowns”. Rumoured names in the article include the reheated Keanu Reeves, Danny DeVito, and Anthony Hopkins for the role of Gandalf. Hopkins agent says that while the English actor hasn’t shown any interest (he hasn’t seen a script yet), “that’s not to say he’s not interested”. His involvement could also depend upon how soon “Hannibal” gets off the ground. Thanks to ‘Chris H’.

Xoanon here,
Just a few more names to throw into the Rings, NZ ONFILM is reporting that Bruce ‘Die Hard’ Willis is petitioning PJ for a role in ‘Fellowship’.
Premiere magazine reports that Bruce Willis has also called Jackson seeking a role in the trilogy.
And as production rolls on, a few more crew names begin to slip my way.
Nick Weir as props master, Jill Westwalker as assistant props master, and Nick Riera as props buyer.
