Taupo's rapid allure to hobbit |
|
Jan 25, 2012 - 7:25 PM - by Cully
|
Filming for Peter Jackson's latest movie The Hobbit took to the Aratiatia rapids near Taupo for a scene using spill gates from a dam.
Publicist Melissa Booth said the film crew dropped 20 to 25 barrels down the rapids at a time yesterday for the scene.
"We shot the scene every time there was a dam release which was at 10, 12, 2 and 4."
She said no actors or stunt crew were forced into the barrels to venture into the extreme conditions.
"I think we would have had some issues with OSH if that were the case."
The scene was the only part of The Hobbit to be filmed in the area.

Evangeline Lilly: "Tauriel is a Warrior" |
|
Jan 25, 2012 - 7:15 PM - by Cully
|

John Young from Entertainment Weekly caught up with Evangeline Lilly and asked her about her role in "The Hobbit."
Quote:
Speaking of small and little, I’d be remiss not to bring up The Hobbit. You’re playing a new character named Tauriel, who’s a Mirkwood elf, and that would lead me to believe that she is a warrior of some kind. Did you have to learn archery and swordplay?
Yes, she is a warrior. She’s actually the head of the Elven guard. She’s the big shot in the army. So she knows how to wield any weapon, but the primary weapons that she uses are a bow and arrow and two daggers. And she’s lethal and deadly. You definitely wouldn’t want to be caught in a dark alley next to Tauriel.
So then Tauriel must be involved with the dwarves being captured…
I think basically what you’re asking is if she’s in the film very much. She’s not in the first film very much. She comes into the first film near the end, and has a very small part to play. Her role in the second film is much more involved. Although, I have to say, when I first read the scripts and took the job, she had a lot less going on in the second film. I think the role is becoming a bit more demanding than I had expected it to be. There’s a lot more for me to do now, which is a lot of fun, but it’s a little more pressure.

Elijah Wood talks about The Hobbit |
|
Jan 19, 2012 - 10:03 PM - by Cully
|
Elijah Wood is at Sundance because he's got a small role in the film "Celeste and Jess Forever."
"Did my part already, yeah," Wood said. "I was there for a month. It didn't actually take that much time for the work. It was sort of half vacation and catching up with old friends and half work."
"It had been 11 years since I'd been to Hobbiton," Wood said. "I turned 19 in Hobbiton. That's crazy.
"I stood on the hill looking at the hobbit holes and I was, like, 'I turned 19 here and I'm 30 now.' It was such a weird thing. And a lot of the same crew were there. That was the most bizarre. It felt like taking a step back in time almost. It was extraordinary."

Richard Armitage's Journey To 'The Hobbit' |
|
Jan 12, 2012 - 3:47 PM - by Cully
|

MTV have interviewed Richard Armitage - he was chosen as 'One to Watch' for 2012 because of the Hobbit.
Quote:
MTV: What's it like being on a single project for so long?
Armitage: It's really weird because when we started it was just this enormous mountain to climb, but actually, it's going so fast. I think we've gotten to the halfway point now. It's been really intense but so exciting. We literally just finished our location shoot that we've been out on the road seeing most of New Zealand. It's been the best thing I've ever worked on in my life, by far.

Sad news from TORN, as they are reporting that Bob Anderson, Sword Master and Teacher for the Lord of the Rings Trilogy, has passed away at the age of 89.
Not only was he the Sword Master for the LOTR Trilogy, but also taught Errol Flynn how to sword fight, and was part of just about every film in the last 50 years that has sword fighting involved in it. Including the Star Wars films, The Princess Bride, Highlander, Alatriste and Pirates of the Caribbean to name only a few.

Toast the Professor on his birthday |
|
Jan 02, 2012 - 2:51 PM - by Bambi
|
On the 3rd of January, 1892, JRR Tolkien was born in Bloemfontein, South Africa. To celebrate this event, on this day each year Tolkien fans around the world are invited to raise a glass and toast the birthday of this much loved author at 21:00 (9 pm) your local time.
The toast is "The Professor".
For those unfamiliar with British toast-drinking ceremonies:
To make the Birthday Toast, you stand, raise a glass of your choice of drink (not necessarily alcoholic), and say the words 'The Professor' before taking a sip (or swig, if that's more appropriate for your drink). Sit and enjoy the rest of your drink.
