Sean Bean (Boromir) has a 4-part tv drama coming up on ITV in the UK starting November 11th. It’s called Extremely Dangerous. Just got some new images of Sean from Extremely Dangerous, and I thought you might like to have this one – perhaps it’s closer to the way Sean might look as Boromir?
Another Norwegian Ringer Spy Tormod sent me other sections of the article which were missed:
I saw that you had some stuff from a Norwegian newspaper, so I translated most of the part about lotr. I’t seemed like you didn’t have a direct translation.
DAGBLADET: Why do you think it (lotr) still appeals to people?
ETHAN HAWKE: I read it over again last year, before I knew about the film project. It’s one of the worlds greatest books.
D: Shall your wife also be a part of the movies?
EH: I don’t know. I know that there have been rumors and that she has spoken to the producers. But we are skeptical about working together.
D: Why?
EH: It’s rely not us working together that’s the problem. The problem is that it will be marketed in a bad way. They are going to try to sell the film on a basis of our marriage.
Hrm, looks like maybe Uma is having her doubts..
Thanks to Tormod for the tip!
On Saturday, 30th October 1999, in “Io Donna”, a weekly magazine sold on Saturdays along with the popular newspaper “Il Corriere della Sera” (about 1 million copies), the films were mentioned in an article entitled “Business in rete” (meaning “Business on the Web”) written by Fabiana Giacomotti. It talks about the website and the films. Sorry, the link provided in the article does not exist.
Thanks to Italian Ringer Alberto for the tip!
Norwegian Ringer Spy Martin send the latest on Ethan and Uma:
From the newspaper DAGBLADET (www.dagbladet.no). The interviewer is Eirik W Alver. It was in the “FREDAG” section of the Friday edition. He is interviewing Ethan Hawke.
Dagbladet: There have been rumors about you appearing in the upcoming ‘Lord of the Rings’ movies?
Ethan: It’s no longer a rumor.
D: What role will you be playing?
EH: I will be Faramir, the brother of Boromir, in the third film. ‘The Lord of the Rings’ happens to be one of my favorite books.
There’s something about Uma Thurman’s involvement in there as well.. Basically he says he doesn’t know, but
she’s talked to the producers.. They’re a bit hesitant to work with each other, he says.
Hope it helps you out.

Yesterday I had the chance to talk to Dr.Tom Shippey who is involved in the Lord of the Rings production. Although he could not tell me anything I didn’t already know he told me that he was involved in the project to make sure that everything will be pronounced the way Tolkien had in mind. You guys probably already knew this but I thought this was interesting as it is another way PJ is staying true to Tolkien.
I like the attention to detail…
Halloween marks the birthday of something other than Peter Jackson, though aniversary is possibly a better term. Today is the birthday of the Nightmare LPMud. On the Nightmare LPMud is where I met Calisuri, where some of the original planning for TheOneRing.net occured, and some of the early TheOneRing.net virtual meetings took place there.
The Nightmare LPMud can be reached by telneting to nightmare.imaginary.com 1701. You can read more about the Nightmare LPMud and muds in general here.
Now as a side note, if you are interested in finding out what Nightmare is like normally wait until Monday. Halloween has long had a special significance on Nightmare.
