Continue ReadingWell it looks like I’m going to have to debunk my own rumor here. “urax” sent me a detailed report of what went down in Sweeden.
Apparently a reporter caught Ashley Judd for an interview, during the interview the reporter noticed her copy of LOTR and asked her if she was involved. She said ‘no, but I did see some details and I’m very interested’.
So there you go
Xoanon here,
You may have heard that the swords for LOTR are fragile and light? Well it’s total shash, my contact, who is actually on the inside tells me all.
He told me that they are heavy and realistic, but are dull. The training for the fighting is taking place as I write this and the trainers must use padding (doesn’t sound to fragile to me do they?)
Now you know, trust the real source 🙂

Well I’ve had this bit of info for a while now, and since my inquiries got me nowhere I put it to you, the fans, to find something out for me.
I recieved an email from somone claiming to have recently seen Ashley Judd (from ‘Kiss the Girls’) with her very own copy of LOTR. As I said I made numerous calls and was bounced around more times than a marble in a washing machine, so if anyone, ANYONE has some news about this get back to me.
For now all I can say is, Eowyn?
He gets upset when people don’t think about him constantly (kinda like my GF). Well Round 2 with a LOTR Writer still needs more questions from you! What do you want to know from a film writer who was first asked to write a treatment for LOTR? Send in your questions today!

Manaia Rehu and Danny Morris are hoping their giant chair might be used in the film Lord of the Rings.
Standing nearly 3m tall, the chair has been carved out of the stump of a large English garden oak from the grounds of Selwyn School. The oak had to be felled for safety reasons.
The men run Naturally Narlly Furniture, specialising in big furniture, but nothing on the scale of this piece. They also have a concrete-cutting business, and were working at the school when the opportunity to get the wood came up. Chainsaws were put to work on the massive stump, and the result now sits outside their workshop in Sockburn.
“We carved it up because we didn’t know what to do with it,”
Mr Rehu said.
“Someone said why not approach Peter Jackson (director of the Lord of the Rings). We sent him photos, and it’s on file, so hopefully he can use it.”
Mr Rehu said children found the chair amusing, often climbing up on it. Naturally Narlly also had plenty of smaller chairs around the place, the sort that might be suitable for elves, he said.
