"On a recent installment of the "FilmFreak" show on KLSX 97.1 in Los Angeles, a representative from New Line indicated rumors of composer Wojciech Kilar's (Bram Stoker's Dracula) attachment to the forthcoming Lord of the Rings feature films are not well founded.
The New Line rep said Kilar's name has indeed been brought up in association with LOTR, but revealed New Line's favorite to score the trilogy is James Horner (Aliens, Braveheart, Titanic)."

Thanks to the super keen ears of Ringer Spy Jon we now know that the music in this Shockwav File is not original work for LOTR. It's music from New Line's dark thriller 'Dark City'. Thanks Jon!

Casting: Bernard Hill says he's in! AND WE KNOW WHO HE WILL BE PLAYING (sorta)
2/18/00, 10:23 EST - Xoanon
I just saw British actor Bernard Hill on The Gloria Hunniford Show here in the UK proclaim that he was flying down to New Zeland to be in the Lord of the Rings films. He didn't say what part he was going to play.
Check out his IMDB listing for more information.
More info as it floods in!
A few choice phone calls has Confirmed that Bernard Hill will be in LOTR yet we are not sure who he will be, word was (from a fuzzy UK pay phone) that Hill will play 'Theodus, or something greek like that', now, it's time for you hard core Ringers to clear up the mystery, since we know Kevin Conway will play Theoden (and I asked, 'are you sure it's not THEODEN?' , no, my contact replied) please drop me a line with your ideas!

TV Watch: Starz! goes Middle-earth
2/17/00, 20:30 EST - Xoanon
Sometime this week STARZ! had a little news on LOTR. It was during their "Movie News" filler between movies. They were talking about movies due in the future. It was done from the perspective of New Line releases. They showed the conceptional artwork from the main site and had a brief commentary from a "Variety" writer. No discussion of cast. They mentioned the modest budget and Jackson's ability to deliver a blockbuster in light of his limited resume.
I bet it was no more than a minute long. It's supposed to be repeated tomorrow 2-18-00 at 7:30 PM EST.
Xoanon here,
If anyone gets the gusto to pop in a tape in your VCR and hit record and send it on over I'd love you for it :)

In a recent interview with IGN big Vin Diesel (The Iron Giant, Pitch Black) recently revealed that he wanted to play Aragorn, so why didn't he get the part? Read on...
IGN SCI-FI: What character did you want?
VD: I wanted Aragorn. Aragorn, son of Arathorn. But the point is, I wanted to be a part of that, whether it was as a producer, director, actor.
IGN SCI-FI: So why aren't you part of it?
