It’s all go for fans of West Ham United. Last weekend they rioted during a derby match at Millwall; this Saturday, they will entertain none other than Elijah Wood.<\/p>\n
The Lord of the Rings star has arranged to attend the Hammers’ crunch match against Gillingham, to research his next film role.<\/p>\n
Makers of the film – working title: The Yank – will also be there to video crowd scenes for their project.<\/p>\n
“The producers are hoping Elijah doesn’t get noticed, so they can just get on with shooting,” says a source close to the club. “They want to get it as realistic as possible, with real fans and the real atmosphere. That’s why the visit has been kept a closely guarded secret.”<\/p>\n
Details of The Yank have yet to be announced, but Spy understands that Wood plays a Harvard drop-out who gets caught up in English football hooliganism.<\/p>\n
“It’s a far cry from The Lord of the Rings, though the battle scenes
might be pretty similar,” says one wag.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
