Wellingtonians want to be part of Lord of the Rings
Hundreds of Wellingtonians have jumped at the chance to be part of the Lord of the Rings trilogy.
The film-makers held auditions for extras at the National Dance and Drama School over the weekend and the queues stretched down the street.
Rings publicist Claire Raskind says they’ve finished shooting up at Mt Ruapehu and back in the Capital for the next six weeks.
She says they needed to replenish their “background players” cast.
Thanks to Shayne for the tip!
Sean Bean (Boromir) is heading back to Middle-earth soon…
Nona from The Compleat Sean Bean page sends us this report:
1. Sean will be returning to NZ from the UK roundabout May 12th to continue filming.
2. Sean’s Acuview tv commercials continue to run on US tv networks (Sean does lots of ads in the UK but this is a first for us in North America!) – you can see the ads storyboarded and there are Real Player versions of these ads here:

Hiya Tolkien chatters!
We’ve worked up a bit of a different topic for next weekend’s Hall of Fire discussion. This one reminds me of a Stephen King story….
If you could be an observer in Middle-earth, what one event would you like to witness the most? The Death of the Witch King? The crowning of King Elessar? The Council of Elrond? The Light of the Two Trees?
Bring your vicarious personality and drop in for a fun chat based on Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings. Time: Saturday, May 13, 5:30 EST. Place: The Hall of Fire.
Thanks, Tookish
