Xoanon here,
Super Ringer Spy ‘Micheal Delving’ sent me this info regarding the Bree shoot!
…they plan to shoot the Bree Street Scenes at the end of October, it will be a 10 to 12 hour night shoot, and likely to be with rain.
…I passed through a set where they appeared to be making some test shots with Hobbits. Prostetic feet and all.
‘Michael Delving’ also told me that he/she/it/they saw some scetches of Gollum and The Orcs and they are fantastic.
So it appears that at Bree it’ll be a rainy night! Sounds good to me!
Thanks to ‘Micheal Delving’ for the scoop!

While a few LOTR stars are knee deep in Kiwi land, some people are still working, noteably Sean Bean. Sean’s next project is Extremely Dangerous, a four part series for British television which will be broadcast this autumn.
‘Nona’ paid a visit to the set. This is what she had to say:
So what is Extremely Dangerous all about? Judging by this morning’s action, it’s about Sean Bean, wearing green overalls, a purple shirt and workboots, fiddling about with some electrical wiring under the road, then sauntering over to an outdoor café to have a word with Ron Donachie, who is sitting at a table having a quiet drink. Which is where the Range Rover with the spotless windshield comes in. As Sean’s character (Neil Byrne)and Donachie’s character (Gebbert) chat, the Range Rover drives ominously down the road towards them.

Xoanon here,
The cool dudes at SFX have sent me the latest issue of their movie mag. In it Christopher Lee (Saruman) speaks about his role in the Trilogy.
I’ve always said since first reading the three books, and I’ve always felt this, that I was born to be in it. And now I can say I am! I’m very happy. And Saruman, he’s the head wizard. An enormously important role. Saruman goes over to the enemy, he’s a Valar, an immortal, and if he’d have remained benevolent it would have been a very different story’
Lee also coments on the script,
‘Well, I’ve only read the first one. But they’ve done a splendid job, to condense this colossal epic, as big as The Odyssey or The Illiad, to the point where you can make it and present it to the public. I think a very large number of people are very excited, because, like Gormenghast (A TV project he is working on), they said it couldn’t be done. All praise to Peter Jackson. Now it will be done’
To read the rest of the article, in which Lee talks of his role in Gormenghast, get the latest issue of SFX!

Tehanu’s had a look at a great article in the October OnfilmNZ magazine. David Gapes interviewed the stunt co-ordinator for “The Lord of the Rings” and he had a lot to say. It makes fascinating reading. If you’re not in NZ and can’t buy your own copy of the magazine, (which also has the crew list) check out Tehanu’s article “Stuntlords” in the “Features” section.
Yes we know we promised you the cast list, precioussss. But this is pretty good stuff too.
