The Orchestra de Lyon will be performing the music of Lord of the Rings tonight at Hall of Tony Garnier in Lyon, France. Going to the concert? Send us a report! [Email]
UPDATE Reports are coming in that the conductor, Terry Edwards, collapsed on stage. Simon & Monik both report that emergency teams were soon on the scene but there was no news on his condition and the audience was asked to leave.
I hope that it is not too serious and that he makes a quick recovery. Good luck to him and our best wishes to his family and friends.

Feb. 10 (Bloomberg) — New Zealand’s film industry is showing it’s not all scenery and hobbits. The South Pacific nation’s movie business, catapulted to fame by Peter Jackson’s “Lord of the Rings” trilogy, which was filmed in the country, is tapping a surge in funding to make films such as Toa Fraser’s “No. 2,” winner of the world cinema audience award at last month’s Sundance Film Festival. Local studios have gained from Hollywood-funded productions such as “King Kong,” the latest blockbuster by New Zealander Jackson, and Andrew Adamson’s production of “The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe,” both filmed in the country. That boosted production financing to a record NZ$596 million ($406 million) in the year ended March 31, 2005, from about NZ$300 million in 1999. [More]

From bungie.net: This is one of those stories that’s kind of apropos of nothing, but a week or two ago, our new building was graced by the presence of one Mr. Peter Jackson, director of the Lord of the Rings trilogy, King Kong, Heavenly Creatures, Meet the Feebles and more. In short, a genius. You may or not know that he is also signed up as executive producer on the forthcoming Halo movie. Mr. Jackson was not only nice enough to come visit, but also to pose for a photo with the entire Bungie crew. [More]
