News from the 2 sets of Helms Deep….take a looksee, if you dare. [More]
Month: March 2000
News from the set:
Filming at the quarry set involvs Rohan horses. The filming is slow due to some spooked horses, they tend to get scared at all the lights and swords and noises. Poor things.
At the Miramar recreation of Helms Deep, a few actors have arrived to begin close-ups. Bernard Hill (Theoden), Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) and Miranda Otto (Eowyn) are currently inhabiting Miramar.
Well, it seems that we’ve got a new set location to focus on for a little while. News has reached me that the Kaitoke region near Upper Hutt (Near ‘Helms Deep’) will be the set for Rivendell!
The crew has been setting up for a few days and production is set to start filming soon.
No word yet on who will be there to shoot at the moment, yet speculation is high that Hugo Weaving (Elrond) will set up shop at his house 🙂
Hello all, Gamgee here! Sadly, I must announce, real life will keep me plenty busy this week, and I just won’t have time to do the Tolkien fun section this week. Do not worry, I will be back in full swing this Saturday! Hope to see you here!… Gamgee
Hullo Ringer fans!
The Hall of Fire, our weekly chat on a specific Tolkien topic, is warmed and ready for Saturday, March 18. This weekend’s topic, straight from the Wizard himself:
What story in Middle-earth would you like to know more about? Where do hobbits come from? What is the origin of pipeweed? The nature of the elves? Where do dwarves go when they die? What happened to the Silmarils?
Come one, come all to share these and other Legends of Middle-earth! The time is 5:30 EST, and we hope to see you there!!
Ringer Spy Tasway sends in more news from NZ regarding Marton Csokas (Celeborn) and Cate Blanchett (Galadriel). Don’t they look yummy together?
