If you happen to see Viggo Mortensen on the streets of Erie this week, it’s not a mirage. The “Lord of the Rings” star and Academy Award-nominated actor will be at Presque Isle State Park on Thursday, shooting critical scenes for the major movie production of “The Road.” Mortensen, as well as actor Guy Pearce, who starred in “L.A. Confidential” and “Memento,” will be here with a film crew of 75 to 100 members, said Andrew Ullman, location manager for “The Road.” Stars follow ‘The Road’ to Presque Isle

Ed Gross at voicesfromkrypton.com managed a great Guillermo del Toro interview from last weekend’s New York Comic-Con. Mr. del Toro elaborates in much greater detail than ever before (at least on the record) why he was attracted to ‘The Hobbit’ in the first place and explains his vision for how his two films will transition into the Jackson’s trilogy. He says, “we are creating a beautiful overture”. Can you guess what the two scenes he hopes to film he called,”two of the greatest experiences of my life”? The audio is less edited and more telling than anything we have heard so far. Take a listen at VoicesFromKrypton. Dial up users be patient and let the picture of GDT with a Hobbit over his shoulder load, then click the play button. If anybody feels up to transcribing the several minutes of audio feel free to send it to Spymaster@TheOneRing.net
