This is for all you Matrix fans out there. And I know there are quite a few of you. Enjoy! <P> Lord Of The Rings Meets The Matrix <P>AICN has a funny report on the reshoots taking place on Lord Of The Rings:<P>Some of my lowly Kiwi spies have informed me that Viggo Mortensen made up in Aragorn's scruffy unkept beard filmed a scene a few days ago with Hugo/Elrond aka Mr. Smith for THE RETURN OF THE KING. It was a scene where Elrond comes into Aragorn's tent wearing a hooded cape that kept his face hidden in darkness. Jackson shot the scene a dozen times at least. In this scene Hugo slowly and with a certain amount of drama removes the hood from his face to seriously talk with Viggo. Due to various reasons Hugo kept blowing his lines, so Peter shot it over and over. Finally the Director called for the insurance, or Champagne shot, and they ran thru it all for one final take with Elrond stepping into the scene face hidden from the view of all in attendance, buuuuuut this time when he slowly exposes his face he had on a pair of his patented "Mr. Smith" sunglasses and says something along the line of, "Join with the MATRIX, Mr. Aragorn" in his best deadpan delivery. Mr. Jackson then called for the scene wrap.

That sounds like somthing that will show up in the Extended RotK DVD. Unless PJ feels like ending his carear by putting it in the theatrical movie!

I was bored last night, so I made another one of those Matrix/LotR edited photos. It's not too good, but it kept my boredom away for about an hour or two. ^_^<P> <P>And if the image doesn't show up (my site is giving me problems), go to <A HREF="http://www.geocities.com/illusions_of_moonlight/smithinrivendell.jpg" TARGET=_blank>http://www.geocities.com/illusions_of_moonlight/smithinrivendell.jpg</A> to see it.

Ahhh, the infamous red X! I could believe that Hugo did that! That sounds like something he would do. Although I have absolutely no idea why Elrond would meet with Aragorn in a tent. PJ better not put that in his movie unless he wants a very early retirement!

Oh dear. That's one of the funniest things I've heard in ages. ^_^ I'm a big fan of the Matrix and LotR, so I can't wait to see it in the RotK extended DVD.
