Hey folks, from the Fox Force Five, I got the following groovy scoop about some casting for LORD OF THE RINGS. Plus, I have some more groovy news. It looks as if I've been given the greenlight on the next Peter Jackson Q&A, DO NOT SEND QUESTIONS YET... I WILL DELETE THEM INSTANTLY IF YOU DO... WAIT TILL I ASK FOR THEM...
Meanwhile, this Friday... New Line Pictures will be sending out a Press Release announcing the big ol bit of casting. Almost all of it... we know. But, the new bits... which I got from Fox Force Five... are pretty groovy. It seems it is going to announce that Cate Blanchett is Galadriel. THEN.... Kevin "voice of Batman on the Batman Animated Series" Conway as Theoden. THEN.... Brad 'CHUCKY' Dourif as Wormtongue. And.... a fellow by the name of Andy Serkis as the voice of Gollum.
