Hi just writing to tell you that I stumbled across a LOTR site yesterday the 12-09-00. Its at mavora lakes 45k nw of mossburn southland, I was tipped off about it by a guy and his wife going to the lake to fish when they came across it. When I finally got there (what a mission) I could not believe the magnitude of it, it was huge. I saw the security guard on his post when i got there but i just drove on by as if i never saw him. I continued on until I came right up to the set, i came face to face with a land buggy which was towing a trailer with some what looked like extras with costumes on, they were so close. I was trying to get past as if i were there to do some fishing on the lake but was stopped by a security guard who told me i could not get through. There was misty smoke every where to the point where i could not see, so i reversed up and left the area, but as i was leaving i noticed another little road going down to the lake front where the guard could not see me. So I went down there and sneaked a few shots of them filming a boat scene on the lake.

Great news from Super Ringer Spy Reservoir Dog:
Hi I’m working on a little review of White Devil (a stage play with Hugo Weaving [Elrond] and Bruce Spence [Mouth of Sauron])but as I was sitting here on the computer the TV caught my attention I spun around to see a segment from a show called Premiere about LOTR.
It had footage from the internet preview except it wasn’t on a computer, I don’t know what source they got this from but it looked really good on the small screen and looks like it is in 2.35:1 widescreen ratio (which I suspected it to be) It was amazing to see.
They also had footage from the same location where all those photos of people on the mountain top were taken, the footage showed about five to eight people all dressed the smae practicing with their swords in unison.
The story also had little clips of the stars at various things (awards shows, x-men etc) If people keep watching channel 8 on Foxtel in Australia (and NZ) they should see it again this week, they could also catch a repeat of Premiere whenever it is on.
