The future of the third Lord of the Rings movie might have been saved by the heroic efforts of a caffeine crazy art director. The thought of missing out on his daily grind drove Lord of the Rings art designer Ben Hawker to risk life, limb – and facial hair – to tackle a fire threatening his favourite cafe, Eva Dixon’s Place, yesterday. “I’ll be damned if I’m going to miss out on a coffee, mate,” he said.

Trey writes: I was reading an article (“Episode III Set Diary: Wrapping Up Week One”) on the Star Wars Hyperspace site and I ran across an interesting tidbit. It seems that Jay Laga’aia, who plays Captain Typho in Episodes II & III, broke his leg while filming fight scenes for “Return of the King.” He showed up on the set of Episode III fresh out of his cast, but still on crutches. Unfortunately, there were no details on how the injury happened. According to your site, Laga’aia played Ugluk in “TTT”,’ but IMDB doesn’t list him in any LotR movies. At any rate, it certainly sounds like he’ll be in the third one.
