Much too hasty,
Ringer Spy Dave sends in word that Liv Tyler (Arwen) will be appearing on ‘The Priory’ on channel 4 in the UK next tuesday. ‘The Priory’ is a friendly/funny interview sort of show. Check it out and see if she’ll chat LOTR!
Howard Shore, the composer for the LOTR Trilogy, is hard at work on other projects as well. He has recently been tied to the Brando/DeNiro/Norton crime drama ‘The Score’ and the new Animation/Comedy ‘The Colored Star’.
Cate Blanchett (Galadriel) is set to join Kevin Spacey in Nova Scotia this june for the film ‘The Shipping News’. Check out more about the film here. [More]
