From: Leo our good buddy at lotr.nl
leo just called me to report from the party in Cannes:
There are Elves, Hobbits, Orcs, Men from Gondor and Rohirrim walking around at the party.
Outside of the castle they built the entire set of Bag End (real life size), the tents which they used at bilbo’s farewell party, and there was a pool in which Galadriels boat was floating.
Inside the castle there was some sort of exposition where you could see the phial of galadriel, some swords (including Narsil) and pictures of the cast.
Radio NZ had a report from Cannes. NZ Film Commission’s Gordon Harcourt caught up with Peter Jackson, who said he was ‘shattered’ after doing 150 interviews in 3 days. At the glamourous Rings party he was still wearing combat pants (not shorts!) and his usual polo shirt. He said he’d thought that afternoon about wearing a suit, but then realised he hadn’t brought one to France!
This is an interesting report, apart from a few neekerbreekerisms – confusing Sauron and Saruman for instance. It does answer the concern about whether the film’s G13 rating will make the violence bloodless and cartoonish. [More[
Thanks to Phillip for this.
