Thank-you so much for the first of what (what) we know are going to a be a fascinating and informative segments about  something I\u2019m extremely passionate about \u2013 I know Stewart actually is a huge fan himself.<\/p>\n<p>Stewart: Yeah, Im very excited about this thing ..<\/p>\n<p>Sohiab: Lord of the Rings films &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Stewart: Yeah ..<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> Before we start, could you give us a little history about the one ring dot net \u2013 I think a lot of I guess non joinre  fans are not really sort of&#8230; they\u2019re not as well informed about how these fan websites begin. Could you give us a little history about the one ring before we get further \u2013 this is our first segment &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> Yeah! Absolutely, in about 1999 I was online and just chatting with  (note: I lost some recording here. Michael said he was talking to a woman in NZ who mentioned the LOTR was going to\/being filmed there &#8230; continued a few seconds later) &#8230; she had &#8230; I had some experience with building websites so I mentioned to her to send me any photos and news clips that she could come across, and she had done that and right away we gained a lot of recognition for being one of the first websites to be talking about Lord of the Rings, specifically though LOTR films, and it kind of though grew from there. We gathered some more web \u2013 much more greater web people than I am \u2013 and they built us a fabulous website and we used that as a springboard to launch into getting bigger and better news \u2013 and it eventually led us to become friends with Peter Jackson and the entire crew and cast making the films, so it was a very interesting relationship &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong>  Right Right Right &#8230; then actually you expanded to the point where you mention Peter Jackson where you actually produced and created a sister website Kong Is King dot net, is that correct?  &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> Yeah absolutely. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s kind of ..  as soon as Peter was finished making Return of The King he approached us and said let\u2019s do something similar for my next film King Kong, and that\u2019s exactly what we did and (err) we were given exclusive video feeds and basically web diaries that were posted on line, and it was sort of unheard of actually back then  to have behind the scenes access,  for a major production like King Kong was &#8211; for fans to have this access that you\u2019d normally see on a DVD \u2018Making of\u2019 feature, but this was stuff that people were getting to see before the film was even made, and now it\u2019s much more common place but back then it actually was sort of unheard of &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> Right Right Right .. and I know that he even released the diaries on DVD \u2013 I actually bought the Diary Disc set that he had produced,  that Peter produced for the Kong Is King dot Net and (I almost found)  &#8211; I love  the film too, I guess you could basically say I\u2019m a huge fan of Peter Jacksons, but (err) the set itself was as actually as entertaining as the film <\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> Yeah actually, it was really interesting &#8230; we had, when we had our initial meetings about building the website, we had (you know) we had heard them say that there were going to be a video every week or so , and we had sort of scoffed at that  because we knew that a lot of people (you know) promise a lot of interesting content but when it comes through they\u2019re either too busy or it just it doesn\u2019t follow through and (um) Peter sent us the first video and then 3 days later he sent us another one, and then a couple of days later another one, and it was really shocking to see the sort of level of interactivity that we actually received, and it was great, it lead right up until the premiere of the film in New Zealand &#8230; <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> Right Right Right Right &#8230; so I\u2019m sure you\u2019ve been listening prior to your coming on and you noticed I mentioned (ah) there was a pretty big announcement this past weekend with respect to the lands of Middle Earth and (err) could you (err) I know a lot of fans of it they\u2019re probably  well aware of it  &#8211; it was such  big news, but for those of our listeners who are not as attached to their laptops and their streaming downline \u2013 their internet connections  &#8211; What exactly Happened this last weekend?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> Well, just in this past week  Guillermo del Toro has  been officially announced as Director of the Hobbit film and the subsequent sequel \u2013 so that\u2019s sort of big news that just came out &#8230; <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> Oh yeah \u2013 I know that you actually had an opportunity to speak with Guillermo, <\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> Ah Hm .. (Acknowledges \u2018yes\u2019)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong>  &#8230; and (umm) what exactly , what information did he provide about the film because I know a lot of fans obviously loved the original films and felt like (you know) Peter Jackson was probably the only individual  who could (err) who actually should or could bring the films to light, and when Peter actually decided to just produce the new series, I myself &#8211; I\u2019ll be honest, I wanted Guillermo of all the names out there after seeing Pans Labyrinth, I felt that he was the top choice, and I was so excited to hear that (you know) the confirmation of the last week but, what exactly did you talk about with Guillermo and what information can he (err) give, what information did he give you with respect to what we can expect in the next coming weeks, with respect to the production of the film, by weeks, I\u2019m saying \u2018years\u2019, with the respect to the production of the film?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> Well its interesting. <\/p>\n<p>We had (he have) made contact a few weeks earlier and he kept giving me tabs on keeping  me up to date on um sort of the legality of being able to mention that he\u2019s been officially announced  and every time it sounded to him like we were almost ready to announce it err we had to wait another 48 hours or whatever it was and he has a funny way of saying it, he says \u201c I never trust the Man\u201d \u2013 so(he) I don\u2019t know  who he\u2019s calling \u2018The Man\u2019 exactly, I think it\u2019s the Studio heads or something but, it\u2019s really interesting sort of the attitude that he has, which is, in which he sort of comes from at it as a fan as well, a big fan of Peter Jacksons work, umm. <\/p>\n<p>He basically gave us a lot of background information on how this came about. He mentioned that he had been working with Peter on a possible Halo film, which was based off the very popular video game series, and he said that when that fell through, when that sort of hit the rails, he had stayed in contact with Peter and had learned through various studio sources that they were thinking about doing the Hobbit and they had sort of approached him,  and said how would you feel about doing it and he said it straight out \u2013 he said \u201cI would only do it if the lawsuits against New Line cinema with Peter Jackson and that whole mess was actually settled\u201d and (and so) they settled up rather quickly and approached him again and said \u201cnow that it\u2019s all cleaned up \u2013 do you want to do it\u201d and he said \u201csure\u201d . So it was really tough (but ) negotiations, but I guess he won out in the end.  <\/p>\n<p>He also mentioned that he (had) he has great reverence for the first three films. He calls them Cannon, they are cannon. So he, so he will definitely basing what (you know) his work on these three films and he doesn\u2019t intend on changing too much the look and feel of it. But he definitely is bringing his own ideas and his own vision to this (to these ) stories, and he says that the time of the Hobbit is basically a Golden Age of Middle Earth where things were a lot more innocent, umm, especially as far as the Shire and (you know) Bilbo and Hobbit folk are concerned, so he\u2019s definitely going to have that sort of nostalgic feeling at the beginning of the film he said. And he\u2019s (err) .. he told us a bit about what he plans on doing with studio work and with special effects, he mentioned that he isn\u2019t a big fan of CGI &#8211; of overusing CGI.<\/p>\n<p>Sohaib : Right, right  &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> &#8230; and as evidenced in films like Hellboy and Pans Labyrinth he definitely \u2013 he loves \u2013 practical effects \u2013 which are things that actually exist \u2013 you know so he likes animatronics and puppetry, and all that sort of stuff &#8230; errr &#8230; he\u2019s &#8230; <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> Right (he) he mentioned that at the show at New York too, that\u2019s one thing that he stated that , he felt that the reliance solely on CGI was (was) in his opinion, was rather lazy, and &#8230;. I don\u2019t mean to cut you off Mike, but I think we actually have a caller who  has a question for you.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> Absolutely ..<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> So caller, Steve from Mount Laurel New Jersey you\u2019re on To Be Continued with Sohaib and Stewart &#8230;.<\/p>\n<p>Caller Steve:  I just wanted to say that it\u2019s about time a program like this is on the air in the Philadelphia area. It\u2019s been long too soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> Thank you<\/p>\n<p>Caller Steve: My question for Mike is umm, is Guillermo planning on doing diaries for the new Hobbit Movie?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> That\u2019s actually a good question. <\/p>\n<p>We didn\u2019t get into that \u2013but I\u2019ll let you know that Guillermo seems to be very approachable and very fan friendly director, and you add that in with Peter producing the film, whose also very fan friendly director, and the fact that they\u2019re going to be shooting this in New Zealand which is as far away from the Hollywood studio suits as possible, that I can pretty much guarantee that there will be something similar to that, if not that exact same thing, on our website that we did for Kong is King, which would be daily video, or rather bi-weekly video updates on whatever they figure like on showing us at that time. Um, but we haven\u2019t got down in to the nitty gritty yet.<\/p>\n<p>He has mentioned he\u2019d like to do 20 questions with us which is basically we would gather questions from fans like you guys (caller acknowledges), and Guillermo would answer them &#8211;  I\u2019m not too sure if he wants to do that just once or sort of  on a continuing basis, but he does plan a lot of fan interactivity, and he\u2019s also mentioned he\u2019s gonna stay on our message boards and chatrooms as much as humanly possible. So definitely, you\u2019ve got to look forward to something like that.  Something big happening.<\/p>\n<p>Steve: That\u2019ll be great. I look forward to clicking on your site more often now.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> Thats great.<\/p>\n<p>Steve: Just one more question. About the music for the new films \u2013 Is Howard Shore coming back, and what was the tension between him and Peter during the King Kong filming. Not that I didn\u2019t like James (-) Howard soundtrack, I thought it was great \u2013 but I just you know, I was just curious, 5 weeks before the movies is to be released, he releases Howard Shore from the duties of the job.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> Yeah. That\u2019s actually something I\u2019ve never had a chance to ask anyone about.  But judging from both . .. I met both Howard and Peter several times &#8230; and they both definitely seem like gentle souls who just love the work. And its my best guess I would just say that it was a difference of opinion of which sort of thematic elements they wanted to introduce into it, and I guess they just parted ways probably very amicably and just said \u2018Look, Its not working out and that\u2019s it. And you have to give respect to James Newton Howard to have created that score basically with so little time to do it \u2013 it\u2019s a great score &#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Caller Steve: Yeah its a fantastic score I loved it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> and as far as Howard working on the Hobbit films, Guillermo also let me know, he really wants to keep the old gang back together, and he wants to get as many people as possible who worked on the first 3 films onto these  films as well.  And you can certainly bet Howards been mentioning it on his website and various press conferences that he does, that he wants to do it, and he will do it. So I\u2019m fairly certain that we\u2019ll being seeing something official along those lines soon. <\/p>\n<p>And Guillermo said this next week, or maybe it was just  this past weekend , he\u2019s also been speaking with Allan Lee, and he has mentioned he had spoken to Howard Shore, excuse me John Howe. I haven\u2019t spoken to John yet to see what\u2019s going on there, but I certainly will soon. So I think it\u2019s pretty much indeed that we see Howard Shore doing music again.<\/p>\n<p>Caller Steve: Ok Great \u2013 I look forward to a great ride on the way to 2010. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> Absolutely.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> Thankyou Steve.<\/p>\n<p>Caller Steve: Thanks a lot. Good luck guys with the show.<\/p>\n<p>Michael\/<strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> Thankyou Steve.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> Mike one quick question tying in to what you were saying about Guillermo keeping the old team together and obviously this is with respect to your own personal opinion \u2013 How do you think, and how exactly is the relationship going to be between Peter and Guillermo? I know they\u2019re obviously both passionate about their projects and they obviously have their own unique visions, but, at the same time do you think that\u2019s there\u2019s going to be periods tension \u2013 how do you think that\u2019s going to turn out? Is it going to be something where Peter eventually will step in very forcefully, or is it something do you feel that he\u2019s going to give Guillermo carte blanche with respect to how he films the next two films. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> Ah, its interesting because Peters never acted in this position where he going to be one of the main producers of a film that he isn\u2019t directing. And Guillermo has been given, it\u2019s the second time he\u2019s been give a franchise to direct a film for him \u2013 the first one being the Blade series that where he did  Blade  it really is interesting because everyone knows that these are Peters children \u2013 these films, and hes  going to want to want to have the utmost, he wants them to be treated with the utmost respect. I am certain that they have spoken enough that they\u2019ve had enough meetings over the phone, email, personally, to get to feel each other out. And only time will tell, I guess. Once they\u2019re in the trenches and doing this on a day to day basis to see how it would work out &#8230; <\/p>\n<p>Stewart: Mike you were talking about Howard Shore possibly coming back and trying to keep together the old team and everything as much as possible \u2013 anybody from the cast coming back.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> That\u2019s something he mentioned \u2013 Ian McKellan. That he had a charming conversation with Ian McKellan, and let me tell you you, you can\u2019t not have a charming conversation with Ian McKellan, he is such a great guy, and he mentioned that had pretty much (baring any burocracy) would be coming back. And Andy Serkis as well, who would be playing Gollum of course, would be coming back as well. Those are the two main ones that he mentioned to me that\u2019s he\u2019s also spoken to. <\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s quite a few more that could either come back for brief appearances or have major roles, such as Hugo Weaving for Elrond, and so on, so, I\u2019m sure he\u2019s doing quite methodically and going through trying to reach as many people as possible to get them to come back. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> and you\u2019ll hear all that at the one ring dot net before it &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> Absolutely, absolutely. Your non stop Tolkien destination.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> Exactly. I think, we actually have another caller Tracey from Utah (?) and for those are interested in talking I forgot to mention our caller number \u2013 I was so excited about Mike coming on again, if you need to \u2013 or if you\u2019d love to ask a question \u2013 give us a call on 8562271360, again 8562271360 \u2013 Tracey? You\u2019re on the air with Mike ..<\/p>\n<p>Caller Tracey: Hi my name is Tracey, and I\u2019m actually calling in \u2013 were all on the oneringdot net chat site Barlimans, and we\u2019re all listening in and we wanted to just say hi to everybody out there, you know, and thank you so much for having us on.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> Oh thankyou thank you &#8230; we\u2019re excited to have you with us and I think it going to be a fun journey, I hope we won\u2019t have the same trials that Frodo and Sam had to go when (laughter) they initially took their journey. Did you have a question for Mike? Hello Tracey? (Caller: yes) Did you have a question for Mike?<\/p>\n<p>Caller Tracey: No, I was just saying Hi and thank-you for everything that you\u2019re doing, OK \u2013 <\/p>\n<p>Steve: Oh, no problem \u2013 I guess this is sort of going to be an opportunity I think for  &#8211; not just the callers in our area but caller throughout the nation who are listening to us online \u2013 to actually, you know, almost get an opportunity to \u2013 I don\u2019t want to say talk directly to speak to Peter and Guillermo  but err \u2013 (Stuart laughs) given Mikes contacts and the other individuals with the OneRing, this is going to be a really wonderful opportunity to maybe even get a bi-monthly opportunity to sort of say well this is something we are concerned about, this is something we want to know about, who knows, it might be a new level of interaction between fans and film producers.<\/p>\n<p>But Mike one other question that I had, quickly  was err &#8230;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stuart:<\/strong> Thankyou Tracey \u2013 <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong>  Yeh thank you Tracey.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> One of the questions I had in respect to the films also &#8230; do you know if Guillermo is going to be filming in the same fashion  that Peter did when he filmed all three films at the same time. Is this the same plan with respect to these two?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong>  I definitely think so, I think Guillermo planning on moving his entire family, his wife and his daughters down there as well, so I think he is planning on doing one long haul with both films back to back. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> So they\u2019re going to be filming New Zealand again I\u2019m assuming, correct?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong>  Yeah absolutely, they\u2019re filming New Zealand. He actually mentioned to me they are going to  re-plant a lot of the farmland that you saw for the Shire, where the Shire was represented, in the first and third films \u2013 they\u2019re actually a lot of those sets are still standing \u2013 they are very much sort of naked, so to speak,  so they\u2019re definitely plan on refurbishing them, and replanting all those plants and trees and all that stuff, and filming in the exact same spot.  So that\u2019s one of the locations \u2013 that practically the only confirmed location we have so far ..<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> Excellent!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> But we\u2019ll definitely have more for you. <\/p>\n<p>(Sohaib cut in to announce the station Id break &#8211; An advertisement for Station identification was played)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stuart:<\/strong> Ok Mike we\u2019re back from our station ID. Hello Mike?<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> Yes, I\u2019m sorry, its cool .. (laughter)<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> We thought we had lost you for a second.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> No problems I\u2019m still here .. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong>  we were afraid when we chase you ..(laughter)   the Philadelphia fans, they have a reputation for being a little bit tough, but, I think that you\u2019ll find over the next couple of  weeks &#8230; they\u2019re gentle souls, actually, I wouldn\u2019t say they\u2019re not quite Shire folk (laughter) \u2013 they\u2019re what I\u2019d consider to be the distant relatives of Gimli actually, but we won\u2019t go there&#8230; (laughter) <\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> (laughter) <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> One of the questions I had &#8211; and again we\u2019re looking forward to updates coming up  in the next couple of  weeks \u2013 what is your opinion &#8211; how do think the tone of the film is going to be with the respect that, now this is your spec&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>(at this point in the program my tape ran short \u2013 and there is a gap of approximately 7 seconds. If I can get an podcast recording, I will fill in the missing words) .<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> &#8230; in episodes 4, 5, and 6<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> What do you think tonally. Is it going to be Are they going to be pretty much locked in &#8230;..  a solution, Are you really going to have to look at these as two films with a common historical ancestry.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> I think it might be split down the middle. I think Guillermo can bring his own vision to the film but if you look at something like Pans Labyrinth or even Hellboy in certain aspects, maybe even the second Hellboy film, you\u2019re going to sort look to get a hint at what Guillermo\u2019s vision is and what his colour palette looks like and the way he edits and the way he cuts films. But I definitely know  he\u2019s is going to be using the first three films as cannon, and I heard a little tit-bit just yesterday where when he was preparing to shoot the Blade sequel he actually watched the first film and watched it repeatedly just to get sort of the feel of the film and I\u2019m sure he\u2019s going to be doing something like that especially when you have Peter right there in the studio, able to show him rough cuts or whatever it is that they (you know) ..  that we don\u2019t even get to see, so<\/p>\n<p>I definitely think they\u2019re going to want keep their palette \u2013 their work, but allow Guillermo to sort of have some of his own vision.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> Well Mike I\u2019d just like to thank you for coming on this week, were going to be hearing a lot more from the OneRing Dot Net in the near future, and actually in the next two weeks but one thing I can tell you, and everyone whose listening, and those of you who are listening on WNJC1360.com also, get ready for a lot of Academy Award nomination come 2011-2012.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> (laughs) absolutely, absolutely. <\/p>\n<p>And Were hoping to do more with Guillermo and Peter themselves and the entire WETA crew and stuff like that so keep looking at the onering dot net for more exclusives and online content as well.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Stuart:<\/strong> Fantastic Fantastic .. definitely <\/p>\n<p><strong>Sohaib:<\/strong> Ok, So thanks Mike Look forward to hearing from you soon.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Michael:<\/strong> No problem.
