Vassel was lucky enough to visit the remains of what was once the Hobbiton set in New Zealand. Most of the props and plants are gone and the paint is beginning to chip away these days. Yet the natural beauty of the location leaves us with no questions as to why PJ and his team picked that location in the first place. We all do really love the Shire.

Carlene Cordova, director of “Ringers: Lord of the Fans” writes: A certain Hobbit wanted me to let everyone know that his new show “Lost” has just been picked up by ABC for 13 episodes.
“Lost” is a new drama from ABC TV that follows a group of castaways stranded on a Pacific Island. Instead of wacky shenanigans with the Skipper and everyone’s favorite “little buddy,” this show is a drama about the group creating a new society a la “Lord of the Flies.” (That’s “Lord of the FLIES” a book by William Golding, which has absolutely nothing to do with ‘Rings’ in case you were wondering. )
Dominic Monaghan’s character is a rock musician. No word on whether or not a movie star, professor or millionaire round out the troupe. The show’s pilot was the most expensive ever produced and also stars Matthew Fox (Party of Five), Jorge Garcia, Maggie Grace, Josh Holloway, Malcolm David Kelly, Daniel Dae Kim, Evangeline Lilly, Harold Perrineau Jr. and Ian Somerhalder.
Rumors have this as a mid-season replacement, but I’ll let you know for sure when we get an official press release from ABC. Sounds like a great show!
A very excited sartorial elegance writes: The Printworks in Manchester,U.K. is showing all three films on Sat & Sun 22nd & 23rd May, at 1p.m! I have booked my tickets, £7.50, so get yours now before they all go!
Paul writes: Praise Ballet, a Baltimore based children’s ballet school, will be performing five pieces with music from the LOTR soundtracks as part of its annual spring recital. The dances will not be interpretive of the Rings story, but rather reflect Tolkien’s views of heaven, hell and life on earth. The recital is at Dulaney High School in Lutherville, at 7pm on Tuesday, May 18. Tickets are $3.00 at the door.
Ok, I’ll admit…it’s my fault. I forgot Cate Blanchett’s birthday…possibly the biggest crush on any of the LOTR ladies and I forgot. Well…here we go!
May 14th is Cate Blanchett’s birthday! Cate was born on May 14th, 1969 in Melbourne, Australia. That makes her 35! Happy Birthday Cate!
