Maybe the hiatus in filming around Wellington will be over soon. Robbit the Hobbit reports. (more)
We got mail from Robbit the Hobbit:
There has been a bit of activity at Wingate recently. The internal fence in the yard has been removed, and a large hole has been dug in the middle of the yard. Workman have been seen with welding equipment and grinders. There are also some piles of 4by2 timber stacked in a corner. The blue screen is still there, so i suspect that this set will be used again. I will keep you informed of developments 🙂
The Minas Tirith set is coming along nicely, with walls and parapets sprouting up all over the set.
Here in America, it never fails that if you mention politics you are likely to get into a fight.
My new Out on a Limb feature, “The 2000 Vote: Gandalf or Saruman,” had only one modest goal: to blast some fresh air into the way we look at the election process. It has since caused a firestorm of angry readers demanding my head on a plate. Love it or hate it, come see what all the fuss is about over in Green Books.
This piece does not indicate the political leanings of TheOneRing.net, which has its roots in Canada and New Zealand and couldn’t care less about American politicking.
Hastily,
Coolio brit mag SFX has a ‘LOTR Rumor Roundup’ article in the November issue. Calling LOTR ‘..the most reported on, spied on and talked about film project ever…’, Thanks guys, we try our best :))
The latest issue of one of my favorite Genre Film Mags ‘Cinescape‘ has a small blurb about LOTR. Saying ‘As long as (Peter) Jackson captures the epic sense of adventure that made the book trilogy so breathtaking, we’ll be there’.
