Here is a great picture from last nights Evening Post. As you can see, Minas Tirith is a hive of activity. What that picture does not show, on the far right past the end of the crane’s boom is a wall about the same height as the the other building, and to the left, where the caves were, a new wall is being built.
At Wingate there are several square holes dug in the ground. In these holes are timber frames, and i believe these are foundations for some large structure. Time will tell what is planned for Wingate 🙂
The interview with Sir Ian is broadcast here on Friday at 11am on the Kim Hill show. For those of you outside of NZ, I think I’ve got my head round the daylight saving adjustment. The McKellen interview is on Radio New Zealand’s website, broadcasting live at just after 6pm EST on your Thursday. Check you’re set up to receive it first.
The webmaster at RNZ says: “Occasionally <.5% users experience problems due to javascript client engine problems integration with the Real Player. This is true for Apple and Linux. I have consulted with US experts and there is nothing I can really do to fix this.
It is also important that all visitors to the site already have Real PLayer installed. While there are links available to download and install the player – this site uses Real Player and autostarts immediately site is loaded so if the plugins are not installed the user will get an error message.
Real Networks will not allow plugins to autoinstall as they want to get people to load the entire application.”

MINIS TIRITH?: Construction is under way again at Dry Creek Quarry near Wellington’s Haywards Hill in preparation for further filming the Lord Of The Rings trilogy. Earlier this year the site was used to film battle scenes depicting the Helm’s Deep sequence. Now speculation Internet is that the new set is Minis Tirith, the chief city of Gondor.
