The Evening Post had this to say on the new Sean Connery rumour:
Connery admits he’s in line for Jackson film. by Megan Lane and Reuters Scottish film star Sean Connery say he’s waiting for a script for Miramar director Peter Jackson’s The Lord Of The Rings. At a press conference to promote his latest film, Entrapment, at the Cannes Film Festival, Connery confirmed that he was in line for a role in Jackson’s NZ$266 million project. He said he was waiting on a script of the adaptation of author J R R Tolkien’s fantasy trilogy, to be filmed in New Zealand from september 19. Rumours that Connery could play Gandalf date back at least a year, before Jackson announced the project last August. A number of Seatoun residents claim to have seen Connery at the Chocolate Fish Cafe in Scorching Bay – an Urban myth so popular that cafe staff have brought in a cardboard cutout of Connery. Jackson’s team has consistently denied Connery’s involvement, but could not be contacted today. [ The Chocolate Fish Cafe is frequented by Peter Jackson ] Connery isn’t the only big name connected with the project – Hollywood heart-throb Keanu Reeves ( The Matrix ) told an Australian magazine that he had been petitioning Jackson’s people to play Aragorn.
This is literally the hottest rumour there is folks. One has to wonder if New Line will demand that Connery makes it into the film because of all of this interest in him! I hope that the focus remains on the movies rather than actors because this is a once in a lifetime chance for Tolkien Fans to see Tolkien’s vision brought to the silver screen. Thanks to ‘Bruce’ for the article!
Hey folks! What a great week to be a Lord of the Rings fan! The launch of TheOneRing.net went off with a bang and we now have the most complete resource for The Lord of the Rings Movie news and rumors.
I recently added a few features which I’m sure a lot of you have seen. First off, we have a new message board area where you can feel free to sound off on anything Lord of the Rings related. I would like to reset the board every week or so, just to keep the issues up to date. Send me some feedback on whether you think this is a good idea or not.
I also just added a poll yesterday and it looks like you guys are having fun with it. To make the questions more in tune with the fans, I want to have a weekly contest to pick the question. Just send me your suggestions, and we’ll pick from the submissions for the weekly poll.
Keep having fun, and we’ll make this the best damn Lord of the Rings Movie site there is! Thabks for the support!
Calisuri here,
Looks like our weekly poll hit the hotspot for the week. Cinescape.com has a report from Reuters which says Sean Connery is at the very least interested in “an adaptation of J. R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings.” The tid-bit goes on to say that Mr. Connery is awaiting a script for his review! All of you who voted for Connery as Gandalf might just be getting your wish!
Here are the poll results from last week:
Tehanus contacts seem to be everywhere these days, just heard PJ raised the bounty another 10 000$
Talked to a friend of a friend (here we go) who gave yet another friend a lift to work through the security courdon. Saw Bilbo’s hole being built out of polystyrene.
msboyd chimed in a couple of days ago with some interesting news, it seems some friends of hers are being looked over for some major characters.
News has come from spies in the theatrical world in London. PJ has been looking around and auditioning some of the bright young talents there, some of them still not yet out of drama school. It looks like we’re going to see fresh faces playing roles like Pippin and Merry.
