LOTR Movies - Best Cast Evah

Dom and Elijah did bits as trash-talking fighters for the Fantastic Film festival in Austin hobbit vs. hobbit fight ( embedded video )

The first video of the actual debate, with Dom on the virtues of the game World of Warcraft as escapism ( embedded video )

So far, there's no video of the boxing part, but one picture from @heuge and one after (apparently Dom won) from @jenyamato


And a lagniappe: Dom rapping karaoke:( embedded video )

It's been 10 years since the FOTR publicity push at the Cannes film festival. kiltsandlollies has a sweet hobbit-heavy picspam, not_alone's Cannes section from her delightful fannish narrative, A Journey with Frodo, and nzstories has another picspam

All that inspired me to organize my various images, and I found some additional ones: Hobbits and PJ doing a kickline, Viggo in a green shirt, Liv in a black dress, Ian Holm, Christopher Lee, John Rhys Davis, Ian McKellen, Sean Bean with Orcs, Dom with Orcs, Orlando in a buzzcut and suit, and Orlando kissing Viggo's cheek, and Orlando kissing Viggo's cheek. ( so young! )

The Hobbit has started filming! And Peter Jackson made a video about it!

It looks really gorgeous: Bag End and Gollum's caverns and parts of Rivendell that we never saw before, Dwarves doing fight training, Jed Brophy!, and Martin Freeman wearing an abominable suit but (or maybe therefore) looking very Hobbity! I wasn't around during the original LotR filming, so intend to enjoy this a whole bunch.

on the dreaded Facebook (I have a fake account there, they're relatively easy to make) / on YouTube / ( embedded here just because I can )

ETA: old youtube link was pulled, so I put in a new one. Hrmph, facebook, hrmph

(More at Zimbio: Billy, Dom, Elijah)



fandom squeeeeeeee!!!!!!



I mostly hate the sun newspaper but they have the wedding article & pictures.. Maybe to make up for that horrid headline a couple of months ago.

Entertainment Weekly is doing a Cast Reunion Issue, and they have photos of of LotR actors looking happy and fabulous! They're from May and July of this year, and successfully hidden from fans until right now. There's a small photo of Dom, Elijah and Sean Astin on the front cover and three other photos of them, a gorgeous one of Bernard Hill, Sean Bean, Peter Jackson, Orlando, Billy and Andy, a photo of Hugo, Miranda, Cate and Ian McKellan (I know!), and a two page spread of Orlando and Pete. Oooo, I just found a Dom, Elijah and Sean article... The text here and in the magazine is OK, the pictures are priceless!

Let us all praise EW and primula_baggins who made scans of all of them to share!
( fangirl squee to the max! )

There's also video! Dom, Elijah, and Sean were filmed doing the photoshoot and telling stories, also on the on the EW site. ( embedded video behind the cut )

rakshi already has screencaps!

It's like someone decided to cheer up my whole week, and I'm going to bed a happy fangirl, (especially if more people sign up for slashababy)!
