Greetings, Quickbeam here…
The doldrums of winter are upon us, but I and my fellow Green Bookers Turgon & Anwyn are still hard at work, shedding light within the dark places. Today we unearth fifteen new Questions & Answers, prompted by our ever-so-curious readership. These and many more are just a click away:
- Where did the evil spider Ungoliant come from?
- Did Gandalf have a chance pitted against the Witch-king?
- How does Frodo & Bilbo’s birthday match up on our Gregorian Calendar?
- Why did Tolkien mention “stars” so much, with such reverence?
And dear readers beware! Yours truly recently had his 31st birthday, just a few hours shy of Elijah Wood himself. I promised to mark the occasion by getting an extraordinary Tolkien tattoo (the design of which will remain secret but I provide a hint: think of fiery letters). I have NOT chickened out on that promise, but unfortunately it has been delayed a few weeks. Have faith, I will go under the tattoo artist’s needle and post the shocking photos soon enough.
And keep your eyes peeled for more Green Books articles, interviews, Fan Fiction, Stump the Staff, et cetera!
Much too hasty,
Quickbeam
Have we got some cool stuff for you… [More]
Reports are reaching me that the Black and White picture that has been reported as being from the LOTR shoot is in fact for a TV series called ‘The Tribe’
From: Leo
The picture you are looking at is that of a crew filming the tv series ‘The Tribe’, I saw the shooting as well when I visited the Fort Dorset land were the Bree set was built ( they took it down unfortunally ). People withheld me from visiting the beach but I had a pretty good view of the area from a distance. It is in no way related to LOTR….

Nona, from ‘The Complete Bean’ sends word on when Sean Bean (Boromir) will be heading back to NZ:
Sean (Boromir) will be in the UK until mid-May. He’s scheduled to return to NZ to film again roundabout May 10th, give or take a week (and subject to change).
The E! Online website has an interview with Elijah Wood (Frodo) Read on:
Frodo is relieved. Elijah Wood, the 19-year-old star who plays Frodo Baggins–the primary character in Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings saga–has been dying for a chance to talk about this hush-hush project. Now he can. Relaxing between takes on the Hobbiton set, in his first interview since filming began, Wood opens up about Frodo, his costars, the technical demands of this massive trilogy–and big furry feet and little pointy ears.
