There’s a spy report come in from Ciggy Fagash that might disappoint some people. Me, for instance. [More] !!!SPOILERS!!!

Ringer Spy Ciggy Fagash was involved in an interview with Miranda Otto and writes:

“I know Lawrence Makoare and Sala Baker are both supposed to have been doing work as the Witch King in the final battle with Eowyn – and she mentioned they’d be reshooting a lot of it, so that could explain at least some of Baker’s work [Sala’s presence at reshoots have been mentioned in recent news – T] “She also mentioned not holding out too much hope that much of the Houses Of The Healing would appear. Apparently the romance between Eowyn and Faramir, although definitely present, has been down-played somewhat. She seemed disappointed but said, ‘well something has to make way – there’s a lot of story to cover in the last film.'”

Kalanya added those new ROTK images from the official site, to her Quintessential page. Now you can see them all at one time, reordered them into her best guess at the order that they will appear in the movie. They’ve been enlarged, cleaned up, lightened, and put with a few other of the latest new ROTK images to come available, plus a few old images which give a comparison.” [More] !!!SPOILERS

Cartoonist Tom Scott’s script about NZ’s Sir Edmund Hillary’s trek up Mount Everest may be coming to a theatre near you soon. Scott was interviewed recently and jokingly commented that if PJ et all were interested in his script, he’d tell them where to go! (PJ had once shown interest in the script before all this LOTR nonsense got in the way). All in good fun, take a look! [More]
