Xoanon here,
News has reached me that 1 out of the 9 Dark Riders has been cast! I have a name, but I am yet to confirm, he is not an actor by any repute, and is a NZer. From my Spy ‘Tama’, she tells me he’s a Fire Dancer and took Theatre Studies in NZ. More news to follow
Well, It’s September 12 and filming begins in less than a month down in beautiful New Zealand. Over the past few weeks we’ve been given casting news whenever it comes to us (from the Gods above) but now it’s time for you NZers to come into action.
This is a call to arms (or cameras or whaterver!). Do you know anything about the goings on down there? Are they using your best friends-uncles-cousins-sisters back yard to film something? Let us know!
Drop us a line here at xoanon@theonering.net, if you are consistent and give us some good stuff we’ll give you access to post your own items in our Spy Reports.
This is, however, not me telling you to cut fences or break into buildings. Keep everything safe, clean and fun. And get those Spy Reports rolling in!
This is straight from ‘The Sunday Mail’ in the UK:
Sean’s Bean cast as lord of the ring
By Chris Brandes
Sean Bean has landed a leading role in a new Hollywood epic based on Tolkien’s best-selling adventure Lord of the Rings.
The 40-year-old actor, who played the hard-hitting soldier Sharpe in the ITV series, will star as the warrior Boromir in The Fellowship of the Ring, the first movie of the film trilogy.
Last night, a Hollywood insider said: “It’s a fantastic role for Sean. The three movies are expected to be huge box office hits.
“It’s quite a large role although the character will not be in the two sequels.”
Sean – whose rogue secret service agent Alec Trevelyan battled Pierce Brosnan’s James Bond in GoldenEye – will appear alongside other British stars including Sir Ian McKellen, Christopher Lee and Ian Holm.
The insider added: “Executives have been after Sean for quite some time. They’re delighted he is finally on board for the project.”
Sean’s character Boromir is described as a “tall and handsome” lord – who joins the quest to destroy the evil Sauron.
He is initially tempted to possess the ring but redeems himself by saving his companions during battle.
Sean, last seen as real-life SAS man Andy McNab in a TV version of the book Bravo Two Zero, will start work on the movie in New Zealand next month.

The latest issue of Entertainment Weekly (Backstreet Boys Cover) has a 2 page article on LOTR. This 2 page article is in a little booklet only issued for subscribers of EW, if you don’t get this mag, go get it! Unfortunatley the article is not on newsstands, TheOnering.net is working on getting the article available online.
We know what Merry looks like, but do we know what he’ll sound like? Tehanu gives us the goods on butter accents:
I did a long and boring trawl of the Net to find out anything I could on Dominic Monaghan, the Merry man.The best resource turned out to be the Hetty Wainthrop fan page, because Dominic stars in that show. It is a British TV series, and as far as I could gather Dominic is the teen sidekick to the redoubtable detective Hetty Wainthrop.There were lots of letters from teenage girls who reckon that Monaghan is the best young actor around, and they gush over how cute he is. I can’t argue with the latter, he sure looks cute.One happy person in Stockport said that she was amazed to find that Monaghan came from that same area and went to school at St. Annes’ RC school there.Stockport is near Manchester, so with any luck Merry will have a Northern accent you could butter your toast with.
Thanks! Tehanu
