From: Los Angeles Times in California
“Holm had stopped off in Los Angeles to talk about ‘Joe Gould’s Secret’ while on his way back from New Zealand, where he’d spent four weeks working on Peter Jackson’s ‘Lord of the Rings.’ When asked about the production, Holm makes a quick ‘zip’ gesture across his mouth, noting that he’s not permitted to talk about the trilogy of the films based on J.R.R.
Tolkien’s classic science-fiction work, which features the other Sir Ian, McKellen, in the role of Gandalf.
“Holm does, however, reveal that his character, Bilbo Baggins, ages from 111 to 170 over the course of the story. ‘I’m in a complete face mask, and it’s the most extraordinary makeup I’ve ever, ever seen.”

Today at 18:00 on Swiss TV, ‘TSR1’, on the Sunday program dedicated to modern world literature and authors called “Un livre, Un jour”, translated as: “One Novel, One day”, there was an interview of a French novelist originally from Algeria (forgot his name to tell you the truth). When asked what his favorite author was he pronounced to an astonished audience that he placed J.R.R. Tolkien as his favorite author and LotR as the best series ever published. This then lead on to a six minute (out of a ten minute show) debate on whether or not his works classified as ‘literature’, and they even spoke about the upcoming film. By the end of the program by general agreement it had been decided that the LotR was a work of great ‘literary’ value, though not much hope was given to the upcoming films, apparently the program seemed to have something against Peter Jackson… obviously none of them have seen the trailer.

‘NZ National Radio at 4pm had their Sunday religious program, and they talked all about a christian subtext to LotR really interesting actually! It was the Dr Edmund Little program “a question of religion”‘
