It’s time to send in your questions for a LOTR film Writer! ‘Marlow’, a writer and creative consultant on many British TV/Film Dramas, was, back in ’92 comissioned to write the 2nd draft treatment for an ill fated LOTR film.

Email me your questions and the top 20 will be chosen for Marlow to answer, and check back here very soon!

I have to remind you all that because I post something on here doesn’t mean it’s set in stone. Only things confirmed are those where I’m really pumped and I tell you it’s confirmed.
Recieved thes from the folks at Scoop again:
Liv Tyler, star of Stealing Beauty, was tipped last night for a key role in Lord of The Rings – however Tim Sanders, producer for Wingnut Films, said Tyler was just one of endless rumours. The only two strong parts for females in the trilogy are the Elven Queen Galadriel and Princess Eowyn. Among those also named just two months before the start of filming at Jackson’s Camperdown studios have been husband and wife Uma Thurman and Ethan Hawke.
