I’ve just received this mysterious email from MM I am looking into it…more info soon.
Have just got some info on the minor character of Deagol, it will be played by Thomas Robins. He has worked on NZ TV with some kids shows I think, and I believe he worked with Jackson on his “Forgotten Silver”. It should be a speaking role.

’13 Days’ Pushed Back
Kevin Costner’s Cuban Missile Crisis drama, 13 Days, will not be battling it out for the box office bucks for the holidays. According to Variety, New Line has chosen to pull the film, which has been getting good advance reviews, and moving its release date back to January 12, which is also the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend.
However, the film will still be getting some limited release in Los Angeles and New York, which would make it eligible for Academy Award consideration.
