Ringer Spy Celebriel writes: Orlando Boom graces the cover of the October 2004 TeenPeople as the winner of their “50 Sexiest Guys Ever” contest. In addition to Pirates of the Caribbean, upcoming Orlando films are The Kingdom of Heaven, now in post-production, and Elizabethtown, currently filming. As an aside, the magazine’s young teen readership (mostly age 10-16) skews the results. How else to explain poll results in which Johnny Depp comes in 50th, and Viggo Mortensen, Sean Bean, and David Wenham don’t even make the list?!

He spoke about filming Lord of the Rings for a few minutes at the start of the piece which was publicity for his new autobiography. It’s possible to hear the request the interview here. [More]
Film maker Costa Botes pointed out a gaffe in my review of his “LOTR Behind the Scenes” documentary. Five years of filming on set produced not 21 hours of footage, as I’d said, but 800 hours, from which he “cut 21 hours comprising 180 stories on every aspect of the production. And from that 21 hours (leavened with extra footage so that anyone who ever did get to see all the 21 hours would still find something fresh) we cut the final three feature length docos.” Makes you wish, doesn’t it?
