My brain hurts. But wow, Tolkien continues to surprise me. Check it out here.
Because of the floods in Queenstown, builders and carpenters are urgently needed for repair work. However so many of them are already contracted to work for the LOTR film company that there is a real problem finding workers to reconstruct damaged buildings, according to the news on National Radio. Another film being made there (Vertical Limit?) has also booked out the available workers. (They’ve been there for months before LOTR got there.)
Thanks to Tiggy for that tidbit.
Tehanu had heard a few months ago that ‘you couldn’t find a carpenter for love or money’ in Wellington as the set-building got underway in the studios there.
Garth, my good buddy over at DarkHorizons. Has posted a list of some films way down the pipe. Some of them have release date changes.
Namely, the Viggo Mortensen pic ’28 Days’ now opening April 14, 2000. And (RUMOR STILL) Donald Sutherland’s ‘Space Cowboys’, now moved to August 4th, 2000.
I saw this bit of LOTR cast trivia over at the Entertainment Weekly site and thought I’d pass it along:
THREATENED L7 had to call off a video shoot in Texas for its new song ”Crackpot Baby” when lead singer and guitarist Donita Sparks got a bomb threat on her cell phone on Nov. 13, according to MTV News. ”We’ve pissed off a lot of people during our career, especially this year,” wrote guitarist Suzi Gardner in a statement. ”It could have been anyone from anti-pro-choicers to Lilith Fairers.” Now the shoot — which will be directed by actor Viggo Mortensen (”Psycho”) — has been bumped back to mid-December.
Hasn’t Viggo reported to N.Z. already? Has anyone told L7?
As far as I know Viggo IS in NZ, having replaced Stuart Townsend within a week-end. Perhaps it’s another Viggo? Maybe L7 will film the video in NZ?
Thanks to G.E.C. for the tip!
