Hows this for weird...<BR><p><BR>When the Nazgul with Arry's flaming stick in it's face screams as he leaves Weathertop in FotR, the scream is actually that of Fran Walsh. She must have a hell of a pair of lungs...

I was under the impression that the screams of Fran Walsh came from when PJ supposedly told her he had also obtained the rights to produce the Sil., the Hobbit, etc.

All the Nazgul screams are Fran Walsh. The sound people had some digitized sound for it, but they wanted it to sound more "real". When they played their sound for Peter Jackson, he said something like "Oh, well, Fran can scream like that." (I guess he knew that from the 'rights for the Sil.' incident, eh, Carrūn? )<P>EDIT: Wow, I can't believe I used the word "sound" four times in two sentences.... I think I need a thesaurus. <p>[ January 28, 2003: Message edited by: Galadrie1 ]

At Ian McKellan's site, he says his tattoo of "nine" is on his upper right arm. Apparently he can only look at it upside down, and claims it looks like it spells "Gucci" when in that orientation. <P>-Lily<p>[ January 29, 2003: Message edited by: Lily Bracegirdle ]

I'm pretty sure I heard an interview with McKellen saying that all the actors of the Fellowship have the same tatoo.<P>Maybe I'm mistaken.<P>H.C.

Orlando Bloom's is on his forearm, and I heard somewhere that two of the hobbits had theirs on their ankles. Someone had a pic of Elijah Wood's on one of the other threads. It looked somewhere around his waistband...<P>Amyone know the location of Sean Bean's tattoo?<P>-Lily

They made him have his removed when they killed off Boromir.

This is somewhat off topic, and I hesitate to add it here and resurrect such an old thread. But I've got a burning question and this seems about as good a place as any to ask. <P>Does anyone know if David Wenham (Faramir) has a tattoo? I don't mean an Elvish 9 tattoo like the members of the fellowship got--just any tattoo. In some of his movies when you see his bare (right) arm, it looks like an attempt has been made to cover a tattoo.

Silmaril

Apparently, there was one day when Orlando Bloom was grumbling a little bit about shooting a certain scene on one day and was altogether in a grumpy mood. The hobbits, Viggo, and Sean Bean decided to "kidnap" him from his hotel room and then proceeded to slap, as Dom put it, "the hell out of his belly" all in good fun. Sir Ian McKellan was supposedly passing by the hoopla and simply shook his head it all. I like the fact that if anyone was getting a little bit off balance, they were close enough to set each other straight. I don't know anything about the normal repartee among actors on set, but I think that this was just one of the examples of how they all were able to solidify their relationship as friends and members of the Fellowship. I would have loved to have been walking through that hotel lobby to witness that little moment.<P>*DISCLAIMER*<BR>From what I've heard anyway, no Orlando Blooms were seriously injured in the belly-slapping fiasco

John Rhys-Davies is the only fellowship actor not to get a "9" tattoo-he sent his stunt double.
