Xoanon here,
Just recieved a report from a ‘Ringer’ spy.
Read an interview today with the Swedish actress Izabela Scuropco (played the female character in “Golden Eye”). She insinuated that she is going to
play a role in LOTR. She said her character looks strange but that she’ll manage to play it…
The only problem concerining this rumour is that Izabela hasn?t signed the contract but in one or two weeks it will be official.
Hmmm, it seems that casting has begun. Great things are afoot!

Tehanu has seen the pics, what does she think of them? Let her tell you herself
Hi there,
I’ve just looked at the official website ‘secret link’
pictures…double-clicked on the ones ones in the ‘Creation’ section…and felt like I’m home. I’ve climbed those mountains, I recognise those landscapes, the rocks and the trees…! Check out the hobbits in Mordor in the first pic against the Tongariro pics on our ‘Speculative locations.’ I swear I’ve stood on the twisted lava slopes of the mountain looking across the Desert Road plateau, it looks like that. And check the landscape in the pic of the Rider, #7 I think, against some of our “Shire Locations” shots. That is where we were, near Matamata, with the fields and hedgerows. And the last image, of the golden grass plains before the mountains…for a moment I thought I was looking at one of Craig Potton’s photos of the Southern Alps near
Arthur’s Pass.
And here’s a description of a prospective Elf I met, for anyone that’s interested in what kind of’type’ they’re casting: Tall and slender, with unusually pale skin and dark hair. A slightly triangular face, fine-boned and with rather delicate and clear features.
The kind of arched eye-brows I always think of as ‘gull-winged.’ In case all this makes him sound like one of those drifty dreamy effete elf-types you see on some calendar art, I should add that this person has immense presence. Whether moving or at rest he has a kind of energy, a sense of mercurial intelligence and alertness about him. He moves with a lithe coordinated grace (mind you, there aren’t too many clumsy actors in the trade, are there?)
If this is the type of person PJ is considering for elf-roles, I think the movie will be well served. My acquaintance is unable to reveal whether he’s in line for a part as a major Elf or just abackground Elf….time will tell.

Thanks to a super ‘Ringer’ spy you can now see a sneak preview of the Official Lord of the Rings New Line Site!
http://www.lordoftherings.net/main.html
That should take you straight there, check it out before they move it!
Here is some more info about the site:
Some parts of the site have been active since 16 of may.
Some of the programs they are using are Adobe Photoshop 5.2, Adobe ImageReady
So, those guys at New Line are human after all!
Some of the Meta Tag ‘Keywords’ they have listed (those who know what Meta Tags are, because I barely do) are Angry Monkey, someone must have thought that was funny.
More comming soon!

Thanks to Joram for this scoop:
New Line Cinema is preparing their official site,
www.lordoftherings.net, for future use it seems.
Checked out the new 1 volume LOTR paperback that
is available in bookstores. Nice job for a paperback
even though a little pricey for most people, $20 list.
Anyway, if you look at the back cover there’s a New
Line logo. Underneath the logo it states that LOTR
will be an upcoming film and next to the logo is the
URL: www.lordoftherings.net. A quick check of Web
Whois confirms that this is registered to New Line. It
looks like this will be the official site!
If you go there now all that is up is a simple html
page stating “Lord of the Rings –
www.lordoftherings.net.” But, with the paperback out
you have to believe that this site will be active pretty
soon.
Thanks goes out to ‘Esad’ for some excellent
sleuthing!

Look at those side links. They just keep getting bigger!
With all the talk about fan-art on the message board we decided it would be a great idea to have a section of our own. Submit anything you have to me today!..:)
Corvar also put together a pretty darn nifty search engine. Check it out!
More stuff coming later this week…
