Wild Don Lewis Linguist Marcus Smith was inspired by the language of J.R.R Tolkien. Fewer than 100 people on Earth speak the language of the Chickasaw Indians, a tribe that now inhabits a swatch of Oklahoma. Their tongue is one of harsh consonants and low, long vowels, of words such as takolo lakna okchi. Of those fluent in Chickasaw, no one is younger than 55. Decades from now, nobody will speak it anymore. [More]

The May issue of ‘French Primere’ Magazine had a small tidbit on LOTR when they had an interview with Cate Blanchett (Galadriel).

Unfortunately, (Cate) was not allowed to tell us much about her month long adventure in New Zealand filming ‘Lord of the Rings’. Due to her loyalty to the production, as well as a clause in her contract forbidding her to do so.

‘There are so many creatures in LOTR, due to Tolkiens wild imagination, that speak a number of languages. Galadriel, speaks the language of the Elves, and we found many ways to get that in the film, we made it seem very natural’

From: Ghost of Deagol

In today’s edition of the movie program “Bogart” on Danish television, they started by announcing a look at Cate Blanchett’s career + an interview. Of course that got my attention, and thus I put away the remote hoping for some LoTR stuff. And although brief, it was there!

During the interview she said the following (I think I got most of it):

– Cate expressed her facination with the technical side of the production, namely the CGI stuff. She has seen a few examples of it and said that it looks really amazing.

– She talked about Peter Jackson as a director, and the fact that he is not a “slave to the books”. These movies will be HIS vision (as if we didn’t know that!).

– Quote: “Since the books are so well-known, the movies must have a life on their own. They offer a new take on the tale”.

The host of the program ended the show saying: “Right after Cannes we’ll take a closer look at The Lord of the Rings”. And that, Cate, will be your shining hour! (Get your VCRs ready, fellow Danes!)
