Unfortunately we missed the news that Cate Blanchett (Galadriel) was on ‘The Early Show’ on CBS this morning. However you can see the full report and some video clips on the website. [More]

An interesting report from TORN Fan TheBursar. He quotes Billy Boyd as knowing nothing about any extra filming in 2004 for ROTK. So what did that AICN report mean? Most likely the DVD crew will be heading down to NZ to film DVD menu scenes, like they did for FOTR:EE and (most likley) TTT:EE DVD.

My friends and I decided to go undercover on our third trip up to the LoTR table …so perhaps you’d like to see our more colourful groupshots instead of the usual poses we also had?!

Billy, Craig Parker and Jorn Benzon …Haldir’s brother Rumil πŸ™‚ …check out his Tshirt!

Thanks as ever to the cast for their time, good humour… and patience! – we had a fantastic weekend.

I was at the London Expo this weekend with Billy “Pippin” Boyd and Craig “Haldir” Parker Saturday, and I asked them if there was any truth behind the rumors of continued filming AFTER RoTK is released…Billy Boyd said that he didn’t think so, as there was a wealth of material to draw on to complete the Extended Edition, and the only way that would happen was if Peter Jackson decided to film entirely NEW scenes.

Then he said, “With him, anything is possible.”
