FILMING RAISES CONSERVATION FEARS
An environmental group is worried that filming of the Lord of the Rings movie in several national parks could compromise their conservation values.
The Department of Conservation has agreed to let film maker Peter Jackson’s company film on sites in the Mount Owen area near Murchison, the Wakatipu Basin near Queenstown, and Te Anau and Fiordland.
Conservation Minister Nick Smith says DOC has attached a series of strict environmental conditions to the consent, and compliance will be monitored by DOC staff on-site.
But Barry Lawrence of the Wakatipu Environmental Society says incessant helicopter noise from another company filming there is already proving disruptive.
Filming in the South Island will start next week and could continue for up to nine months.

The lovely Liv has made some news, check it out.
This might of interest to the Liv Tyler fans at the TheOneRing.net. In this issue of Jane magazine Liv has an article entitled “My Boyfriend’s Band.” Her 
boyfriend is Royston Lanadon of the group “Space Hog”. Space Hog opened for R.E.M. on several of the recent tour dates and Liv tagged along for a few dates. I haven’t seen it but have been told there a quite a few pictures.
I saw Space Hog back in Septemember and I had second row seats. I was close enough to see a pretty dark haired woman standing in the wings but I didn’t look all that closely because I assumed she was the wife of R.E.M.’s guitarist who is also a pretty dark haired woman. I wish I had known all this then…I would have paid more attention! I had a friend who got to go backstage…I would have had her spy around and ask some questions !! 🙂
Jane magazine is a …I don’t know how to describe it. It’s a Woman’s magazine but it’s not a typical woman’s magazine…

Ian snapped this character mowing the lawn in Hobbition. You know what I think of whenever I see sheep? The coyote unzipping his ‘sheep’ suit, then he unzips his ‘coyote’ suit…and so on. Anyways, do you think this little guy knows he’ll be in the biggest movie in history? Probably not, It’d make him feel a little sheepsih…
