Linuxelf continues to load up the YouTube library of yesteryear. Heading up today’s entries is fun New Zealand television coverage from our own “Return of the One Party”. They (channel 3) call it the “Three Ring Party” and later refer to it as New Line’s party, never quite catching on that it was a fan organized gathering. But they did talk to site friend and expert costumer Judy (look for the beard) and reported from our stage while Emerald Rose is playing.
After the video below are links to fun interviews with the likes of Peter Jackson, Orlando Bloom & Liv Tyler, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Andy Serkis, Ian McKellen, Billy Boyd, Elijah Wood and John Rhys-Davies as well as footage of fans touring Edoras.
For those paying attention Linuxelf has been building up quite a library on YouTube, all well worth attention. But one of the three newest ones is pretty near and dear to TheOneRing.net. Maybe some have seen this footage but certainly many of us have not.
There is also a haka for LOTR cast and crew here, and a report on Oscar buzz for “Fellowship of the Ring,” here. Thanks LE!

From Annarep: Billy Boyd appeared on BBC Alba in a “Day in a Life” program. Great interview with a lot of information and some Beecake rehearsal footage. He also talks about LOTR and gives some interesting details – like being the first person cast for the movie. When Peter Jackson gave him a call, no one else was cast yet, so Billy talks about watching the news for the next three weeks trying to figure out who’d be in the movie. Watch the interview on YouTube: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
The riddle contest was a hit! We received tons of emails, and most of you were correct, the answer was of course Billy Boyd (see the interview here).
The answer key is this: Take 2-1-23-4-9-12-25 13-15-9-12 and replace the numbers with letters. This leaves you with BAWDILY MOIL which is an anagram of William Boyd AKA Billy Boyd.
Those of you with the correct answer will now be put into a random draw to win ‘The Return of the King: The Complete Recordings’ CD box set. Check this space for the winners name soon!
To promote their upcoming East Coast tour, ‘Beecake’ front man and LOTR star Billy Boyd chatted with TORN last week. Billy gave us a little insight into the band, his musical tastes and influences, and his feelings about the upcoming tour.
