Just a few more names to throw into the Rings, NZ ONFILM is reporting that Bruce 'Die Hard' Willis is petitioning PJ for a role in 'Fellowship'.
Premiere magazine reports that Bruce Willis has also called Jackson seeking a role in the trilogy.
And as production rolls on, a few more crew names begin to slip my way.
Nick Weir as props master, Jill Westwalker as assistant props master, and Nick Riera as props buyer.

Got this from AICN (see link below)
i was just watching a really lame late night music show called ground zero, well anyway Claudia Christian( is that how you spell it) Ivanova from Babylon 5 was interviewed at a comic book convention, and the guy talking to her asked if she wanted to be in the next star wars movie, to which she replied " No, not really, ive actually got a part in all 3 lord of the rings movies ". Thought you'd like to hear about it.
Until I see something official, I'm doubtful of everything.

Got this over at AICN you know, I can't help wishing some of these WETA guys would just drop me a line, you know, to talk about the weather...yeah...weather...
FYI- The images are composites done by Weta, not production art...of course they do incorparate the designs of the Production, but they show Miniatures, armour....and of course the single frames cant show you Massive in motion, and the CG soldier models are temp versions.
Anyway, thought you should know about Weta's involvment in this work!

Swedish media had a newsflash yesterday (10/6) concerning the Swedish/Polish actress/model/singer Izabella Scorupco, known from movies such as ”Goldeneye”. Apparently Izabella had a sort of nervous breakdown and turned down offers to play the leading role in ”LA Confidential” and ”Zorro”. The last year she starred in the Polish movie ”With fire and sword” and that has been a huge success and now she is ready for more.
For the moment she is starring in the swedish thriller ”The Diver”, and the shoting of that movie should be ready during the late summer of 1999. And after that, (this is where we get to the interesting part!) she will probaply go directly to another filmset, but Izabella is not very open about this:
- It´s a big American movie, with known actors and a known director. The set is taking place far away. But I have not yet signed the contract so I dare not say more about this project.
But Izabella hints that the set is staged in New Zeeland and says:
- My part is quite tough, physically that is. But I´m sure it will be OK.
What she mean with this she will not say, but she thinks that it will be official in one or a couple of weeks.

New Line Cinema is preparing their official site,
www.lordoftherings.net, for future use it seems.
Checked out the new 1 volume LOTR paperback that
is available in bookstores. Nice job for a paperback
even though a little pricey for most people, $20 list.
Anyway, if you look at the back cover there's a New
Line logo. Underneath the logo it states that LOTR
will be an upcoming film and next to the logo is the
URL: www.lordoftherings.net. A quick check of Web
Whois confirms that this is registered to New Line. It
looks like this will be the official site!
If you go there now all that is up is a simple html
page stating "Lord of the Rings -
www.lordoftherings.net." But, with the paperback out
you have to believe that this site will be active pretty
soon.
Thanks goes out to 'Esad' for some excellent
sleuthing!
