This came in today from Onfilm, NZ’s film trade magazine.
“GLOVES OFF: WALSH CHALLENGES ‘LISTENER’ TO STEP INTO LEGAL RING
“According to a report today from the NZPA, ‘Lord of the Rings’ co-writer and co-producer Frances Rosemary Walsh (aka Fran Walsh) had three claims for damages filed in the High Court last Wednesday against the ‘NZ Listener’ and its editor Finlay Macdonald over an article that appeared in the magazine two months ago.
“Walsh claims that the article, written by Auckland freelance journalist Frances Walsh, which criticised the NZ film industry’s lack of financial success, was defamatory and that, by not clearly differentiating journo Walsh from filmmaking Walsh, the magazine “had deliberately attempted to mislead its readers”.
For more info, NZ Ringers can watch tonight’s TV news or read your newspaper of choice tomorrow – they’ll be all over it, you betcha…

The Australian Ringers in Barliman’s are organising a get-together to see LOTR on an IMAX screen. Here’s the details:
Date: Saturday 11th May
Place: Imax Cinema, Northbridge.
Time: 6pm
Details: Wear a leaf on you (fake or otherwise) so we know that you’re a Perth LotR fan / Barlimans’ Regular! Fancy dress encouraged.
Ring-Leader will be wearing a hobbit dress and curly brown hair. If we get more than ten people the cost of the tickets will only be $7. Imax has a LARGE screen and huge sound systems, so this is a real bargain! Prime opportunity to see Fellowship of the Rings in a great cinema before its run is finally over!

From: Taniwha
Has anyone mentioned to you that they’re shooting again? Little ‘JAMB’ arrows are springing up around Wellington (on the waterfront near Centreport, for example)…I’ve heard some fighting elves were needed recently at Helm’s Deep, too…
Update
Some more information is slowly making its way to my ears.
Some of the filming in Wellington is taking place in Centreport, one of the major business ports in Wellington.
Filming is believed to have started yesterday (Monday), no news on what is being filmed, or who was there.
The current temperature and weather conditions at the port are:
Wind: 05 knots (09kph) northerly
Temp: 11 degrees
Cond: clear sky
