Never before seen Exclusive pics from LOTR, Arwen and Saruman the White! [More]
Month: May 2000
Here I was, mourning the loss of of Xoanona (any folks down in Virginia Beach are presently enjoying her company) and sitting watching the enjoyable film ‘Strange Fruit’ when that mysterious portal opens up next to my computer console.
At first thought, I was fully expecting Agent Mulder to fly out and steal my sunflower seeds. What did end up happening was a computer disc flew through the vortex and into my lap; after checking it out and making sure the latest version of ‘The Love Bug’ wasn’t about to be unleashed on my computer up here in good old Montreal (I’ve got enough problems, with Mafiaboy living about 15 minutes away from me, and no, I don’t know him)…
… look what I found, pictures of Saruman and Arwen in full costume!!!
Dear Xoanon-Man,
Here are some pics from LOTR, more to come…

I thought you’d like to know that the Lord Of The Rings Preview was mentioned in the June 2000 issue of Empire, one of Great Britain’s and Ireland’s best-selling film magazines. Accompanied with a spread of photos from the preview itself, it goes like this:
LATEST PICS REVEALED
With anticipation growing hotter by the day, these brand new pictues have just been released from Lord of the Rings, which continues its mammoth shoot in New Zealand with the likes of Ian McKellen, Cate Blanchett and Elijah Wood on board. Those with internet access can glimpse some fantastic exclusive footage at www.lordoftherings.net, but for the time being, cast your eyes of this little lot [referring to the photo spread] — and the good news is there’ll be plenty more over the coming months.

I saw Bernard Hill on Saturday, May 6, at Old Trafford, the home of Manchester United FC, where he was at the club store with what I guess were his two sons.
He was almost unrecognisable from Captain Smith in Titanic. His hair, now grey (not white), was almost shoulder length, but had been cut in such a way to give a full appearance from behind. He had beard/moustache, also grey, but only slightly longer than that which he had in Titanic.
I didn’t attempt to bother him, as he was clearly out with his family. I immediately recalled TheOneRing.net’s news that he was to play a role in LotR but couldn’t figure which one at first. He now appears perfectly cast.

Filming is being done in Wingate now, in Lower Hutt… drove up to the entrance and they were doing a lot of filming 20 meters from the road.
Filming The Lord of the Rings: What Has Come Before
While all the buzz surrounds the development of The Lord of the Rings by Peter Jackson and New Line Cinemas, it is worth taking a look back at the first attempts to move Tolkien’s epic story from the page to the silver screen. The year was 1978, and the entire chronicle of the Ring and the hobbits was brought to television and the silver screen, from Ralph Bakshi’s The Lord of the Rings to Rankin-Bass’ The Hobbit and The Return of the King. Tolkien fans were given much to regret. [More]
