Makoare Talks ROTK/The Hobbit

Today at the Armageddon Expo in Auckland Lawrence Makoare jumped up on stage for a bit of an impromptu chat during the Weta/Sideshow discussion panel.

Not sure if you already knew, but he mentioned that he and Miranda Otto were returning in May to reshoot the entire Witch King sequence, as apparently PJ decided his armor looked altogether too similar to Sauron's. [news to me that this actor is also playing the witch-king (he is the guy who played Lurtz ~Hair)] Lawrence didn't mention the inclusion of Merry here, but HOPEFULLY this was just an oversight on his part...eek!

He also revealed he has a very strong hunch that PJ will make The Hobbit, and the guy from Weta expressed extreme glee at the prospect of designing a dragon.

Have purchased "Art of the Two Towers" despite bad reviews. It is certainly not as good as "Art of Fellowship of the Ring" but it is still pretty good--especially if you have an interest in costuming. Many sketches of costumes.

Thanks for sharing that. I can hardly wait for the Return of the King! Nope, can't wait.

I hope they have Merry!!
