Continue ReadingWell, if you’re a frequent visitor to the ‘Neoplanet Official LOTR Club’ you know that there is a bar right on the top of the page with links to the official site, but not much else.
Well just this moment I’ve seen the bar change, and it’s become….sleeker 🙂 Yet it still does link to nowhere 🙁
Check it out, I’ll try to get the older one for you to compare.
Great things are afoot!
Super Ringer Spy Kevin R sends in this great picture from a New Zealand carpentry factory, seems they are creating some great looking set pieces! Anyone have any idea what they could be for? Drop me a line!
Now you can surf the internet, with the wonderful colors (and sounds apparently) from the LOTR Film!
With the opening of the official site soon, this browser promises to come to life!
I got this email from a friend who’s just arrived in London:
“On my trip from LAX to London on B.A., I browsed through the inflight magazine “highlife”, as you do when you have 9 hours stuck in a seat just that exact width to be perfectly uncomfortable. In such mags, they typically do articles on a number of travel destinations. I was a little suprised to read in the little highlights-strip on the bottom of the cover:
PLUS: St Moritz, South Carolina, British Columbia, Middle-Earth
Woa! I don’t know what they put in the drinks on BA, but transporting you to Middle-earth would be a feat.
Anyway, there is a small article – lovely glossy photo of hobbiton, still under construction(!). Title is “Will Middle-Earth cost the earth?” Stupid title, they don’t talk about cost-overruns or anything. Oh well. Pretty std article, the only things picked up that I didn’t know about (but you probably already do) was:
– it said PJ “has experimented with the idea of digitising the entire movie, so details such as cloud formations could be changed and sunrises and sunsets could be added, or enhanced.” I noted the past tense – I guess that means they AREN’T doing it??(Doing some I think, not all – T)
– He has hinted that he may be filming extra battle footage for a non-PG 13 version for later release on video and DVD.
– I didn’t know that after the 36 minute executive screening of battle scenes, it was New Line that requested 3 movies instead of the 2 because they were so impressed.” This info taken mostly from the 1998 Jackson/AICN’s ’20 Questions’ interview, I think – T)
Super Ringer Spy Kevin R sends in some amazing pics from the Helms Deep set! Take a look at all the finishing touches! Amazing 🙂
TheOneRing.net brings you Exclusive images from the Hobbiton set!
As written earlier not all of the Hobbiton set has been burned down, read on:
From: Evan
I took a look-see at the set on Saturday. There were only a few vehicles left (only one big-shot-star-trailer). The reported fire damage is limited to one building. There is a semi circular structure with courtyard at the other end from the stone bridge from the mill which has been substanially damaged by fire. It looks as if there is a pole set in the middle of the courtyard which may be a flag pole or a burning stake (as in Joan of Arc)
