Sauron&#8217;s got a name! of sorts&#8230;if any intrepid Ringer Spy can come up with a pic of the actor who plays Sauron, send it on over!<\/p>\n<p><i>Xoanon,<\/p>\n<p>I was a fly on the wall at the set of The Lord of the Rings recently.<\/p>\n<p>There was a whole bunch of extras AND Sauron (20 Elves 20 Gondors) and six Orcs.<\/p>\n<p>I saw Sauron sitting on a chair on a dolly with the 40 Elves and Gondors shouting at him<\/p>\n<p>The 6 Orcs were just dead bodies in the scene. Having been recently dispatched by the Elves and Men. Saurons outfit is pretty cool its black evil looking armor  all over with a full face helmet, that has 4 big spikes on it, one in each corner, they had SPFX smoke coming out the back of his suit.<\/p>\n<p>He reminded me of the bad guys from the movie KRULL except they only had three spikes on their helmets<\/p>\n<p>Now here&#8217;s the BIG news Sauron is played by&#8230;..MICHAEL HUGHES. As an actor he&#8217;s nobody but he&#8217;s a major player from the WETA workshop, he still works there part time and he&#8217;s the one who designed and made Saurons suit. I&#8217;m thinking maybe he&#8217;ll be a sort of Darth Vader character with somebody else doing the voice perhaps, he&#8217;s got a full face helmet, and we never see his face.<\/p>\n<p>The day before they filmed something using the gate to Rivendell which was a great looking (if basic) set consisting of an arch way and a bit of wall each side of it.<\/p>\n<p>The Orc weapons were very cool rough shaped and each was different some of latex foam and some of crude aluminum they looked like scimitars.<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s all for now, keep the raid close-by<br \/>PVC<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ringer Spy PVC recenly flew back from his long trek to New Zealand with this amazing bunch of&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[134],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-23137","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-old-spy-reports"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-61b","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23137","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=23137"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/23137\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=23137"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=23137"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=23137"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
