Rings filming for Mid-Canty
TIMARU — Three hundred cast and crew, and a similar number of extras and horses, will descend on Mount Potts Station, near Lake Clearwater, in August.
Production company Three Foot Six will film parts of the Lord of the Rings trilogy in the Mount Sunday area over six weeks. It is part of the $360 million, three-film project by director Peter Jackson. [More]
Ringer Spy NB sends in a great looking new set pic from the region around Mount Potts! It’s amazing! [More]
You can catch Sean Astin (Sam) in ‘Boy Meets Girl’ on TMN. [More]
You can see Brad Dourif (Grima Wormtongue) ‘Bride of Chucky’ on TMN. [More]
Ringer Spy NB sends in this newspaper clipping from The Evening Post. It’s a great looking set, but what do you think it could be?
The Hall of Fire is ready with a new topic for Saturday, May 20, at 5:30 EDT [-5 hours GMT]. Bring your Director’s Chair with you this time, as we take a look at a beloved Tolkien book through the eyes of the movies.
The Silmarillion on Film
Imagine you win the challenge of creating The Silmarillion on film. Like Jackson’s effort on The Lord of the Rings, the task would be enormous and daunting to say the least. Uncountable questions would need answers, like: who would you cast as the characters? Which characters and events would you cut out? How would you approach the project?
We’ll also play around with general Silmarillion film questions, like what scenes we’d love to see on the big screen, how the creation of Arda would be portrayed, and what places would make great locations. Read up and bring along your text for this one!
