Month: April 2001
Ringer fan Unbound sent us these images of the cast. While they look very similar to official images we have seen before, some are in fact new and some are simply a little bit more clear. Unbound found these images in the cast pages of Elostirion.com. Click on an image to see a larger version.

John wrote in to say that Kiwi film ‘The Price of MilK’ has opened a run in Chicago. Why could this interest LOTR fans? [More]
This just in from John:
“THE PRICE OF MILK directed by Harry Sinclair and starring Karl Urban, starts a run to day in Chicago.”
If you’ve never seen a Kiwi film, this isn’t a bad place to start. It’ll surprise you. And get a load of the cast – it stars Karl Urban, who’ll be Eomer in LOTR. And the director Harry Sinclair, is a friend of Peter Jackson – and he plays Isildur in LOTR. Screenwriter Fran Walsh helped on the script, and PJ’s WETA workshop did some of the effects. It’s a closely-knit world here.
Most of all, see it because it’s got this crazy blend of human detail and magical realism which will make you wonder if there is an NZ ‘school’ of film-making, and what these consistently offbeat films should make us expect from LOTR. Is it going to follow the standard blockbuster formula, or will it also have this strange magic about it?

“The Discovery Channel has a show on about a New Zealand Adventure Race. It shows a lot of very nice scenery in New Zealand and has shown quite a bit the area where Mordor was filmed(at least it looks a lot like the pictures that you guys have). Part of the race goes through that area. You might want to take a look.” Thanks to James for that!
