For film editor and Oscar-winner Jamie Selkirk, the peach carpet of Government House was “a bit more nerve-wracking” than the red carpet of Hollywood. Mr Selkirk was honoured at an investiture ceremony at Wellington’s Government House yesterday as a member of the New Zealand Order of Merit. [More]

Bruce Hopkins aka Gamling the Old pointed out that since both he and Bernard Hill will be at the Fellowship Festival in London later this month, this would be a rare opportunity to see both of them actng together. Rumours are that some lucky fans may get to be involved in some interactive drama with them – but this is only a RUMOUR at this point. But if you want another reason to book a ticket to the Festival, just remember – every ticket purchased enters you in the draw for a free trip to New Zealand to tour LOTR locations – courtesy of Red Carpet Tours.
Thanks to Cedric, who contacted us about a local craftsman making LOTR-style pipes in his area of Lincoln, NE. They’re featured on E-bay here. “They are styled after the Macqueen pipes, though they are longer in the stem by a few inches.”
Thanks to Olog-hai for sending this in – check out the last strip on this page of “Nemi.” [More]
Still need a good reason the attend the Fellowship festival in two weeks time? Well, here ya go: Mark Ferguson (Gil-Galad) has written a special comedy play starring the rest of the cast attending which will be performed exclusively just for you at the forthcoming Fellowship Festival. This won’t be repeated anywhere else in the world. It is aptly entitled: “Lord of The Rings 4: The Return of the Towering Fellowship”. [Fellowship Festival website]
(I guess the ‘towering’ bit means Craig “platform shoe” Parker won’t be involved 😉 – leo)
