Emily sends along some interesting information regarding the possible begining of re-shoots for Return of the King, take a look! [More]
Month: April 2003
At the Oscar party I mentioned to Barrie Osbourne and Dan Hennah that I’d love to head down there in June or July for the ROTK filming, ‘sure, we’ll make you an Orc’ Barrie joked.
We then hear from Sean Astin (Sam) that filming is starting a lot sooner than anticipated, this month in fact.
Now Emily sends this along: A few months ago, I wrote to Richard Taylor begging for work experience at Weta. Now, reading your reshoot speculations, I thought you might be interested in a part of his reply (yes, I got a reply! 🙂 It said no of course, but hey!).
“During the period that you have noted [February] we wont actually be working on LOTR, but rather will be working on a shoot for a whole other job which has a strict confidentiality clause on it. We dont start pick ups for LOTR until April”.
Geraldo’s recent (latest) controversy has created some hilarious political cartoons, check out the last one on this page from slate.com. [More]
Last year Paul Badali created 18 stunning mallorn leaf pins for the LOTR cast and crew nominated for an Oscar. We were more than stunned while watching the Oscars from our first party, and seeing PJ and others wearing the pins! It was at that moment that I knew we’d be doing something special for them again in 2003. [More]

We were more than stunned while watching the Oscars from our first party, and seeing PJ and others wearing the pins! It was at that moment that I knew we’d be doing something special for them again in 2003.
This time around the pins were red in color, cast in the shape of a roman numeral ‘two’ (II) they showed the two towers of Orthanc and Barad-dur with the words ‘Good Luck from TheOneRing.net’ set in gold. These pins were given to the crew nominated for Oscars this time around, we were delighted to see sound engineer Ethan Van Der Ryn proudly wearing his pin up on stage!
When all the Oscar winners arrived at the party later in the night I made sure to ask them if they had their pin, and ask them how they liked them. They were all very gracious and thanked Badali Jewelry and us for the pins.
Leave room on your lapels for next year boys and girls!
BitofEarth.net reports that their campaign to get the large cinema in Portland Oregon for their charity showing of The Two Towers and Sean Astin’s The Long and the Short Of It was a success. Now, Sean himself will be in attendance, so if you want tickets for this April 5 showing starting at 7.30pm, we suggest you hurry! [More] Updated!
