Jon writes: Film critic, Leonard Maltin just appeared on NZ tv talking about Return of the King. In it he said that he’d be having a secret screening of it this Friday for the students of his USC class and that Elijah Wood, Sean Astin, Dominic Monaghan and Billy Boyd would all be there to field questions after the screening. Guess it’s not a secret anymore, sorry Lenny!

Angua writes: Just a brief note about the Memorabilia show in Birmingham, England this past weekend! I was lucky enough to meet both Mark Ferguson and Craig Parker. Also previously unannounced, Jorn Benzon was there signing too. I had a brief chat with Craig, who mentioned he had been doing some Orc voices for RotK. As he put it, he had the better end of the deal, not having to run around in all that Orc gear!

Elijah Wood has the ring, Sean Astin has Sam’s bag and Peter Jackson has, well, a framed carrot. The Lord of the Rings stars all took a little souvenir with them, gifts from Jackson, after filming the trilogy. Wood, who as the hobbit Frodo must destroy the One Ring to save Middle-Earth, got to keep the ring and his blade. [More]
