Rumor has it that Uma is being looked over for Eowyn and not Galadriel as everyone thought. A ringer spy sent me this email correspondence he had with Michael Deluca, read on:
Dear Mr. DeLuca,
I know how busy you are, and how you’ve probably already gotten many e-mails on this subject but if you have even a second to send me any kind of response it would be infinately appreciated 🙂
As the subject says, I am e-mailing you about Uma for Galadriel and Ethan for Faramir.
Thanks for the support. We’re actually considering Uma for Eowyn, not Galadriel, but we don’t know if she’ll do it yet. We’re trying to get Cate Blanchett for Galadriel.
The Emailiac strikes again! Could this news be true? We shall see…
more news to come!

Who’s going to be playing the LOTR soundtrack? The New Zealand Symphony Orchestra might be putting some effort into getting that gig.
They were in town last night and I talked to some of the players. They said they recorded a half-hour demo soundtrack which was given to some Hollywood execs to take away and listen to.
“Whose music did you play?” I asked.
“Some guy from the States who’s settled in Christchurch.”
“Nah, Queenstown” said another player.
“Who, who who who who?” I said
“Carlin, I think” said one of the players. “He wants to do the LOTR soundtrack.”
“So, what was the music like?”
The general impression wasn’t too enthusiastic.
Oh well. I’ve never heard of the guy, so I’ve got no opinion. Maybe the orchestra will get a gig out of it, even if the composer doesn’t.

From: Scott I
This is the reply and the question from ian Mckellen.
Hello, Sir McKellen (or is it McKellen the Grey)?
Anyway, I’m a big fan of the Lord of the Rings( not big in stature, just enthusiasm!) and was just wondering:
Will the Gandalf character you portray in the film be YOUR Gandalf or one perceived by another person, e.g Peter Jackson?
Thanks for your time,
Scott I,
Doncaster – England
dear scott i
u ask a simple question that is not easily answered. let’s say for now that tolkein and jackson will be my guides
best wishes ian mckellen

TheOneRing.net placed a call to find if there was any truth to the Mira Sorvino as Eowyn/Arwen thing.
To my surprise Mira was approached by PJ and company, but that’s as far as things got. According to my contact:
‘They talked, that’s it’
So does this mean she’s out? or in? Who knows…
