Principal photography concludes tomorrow.
The cast includes Ian Holm as Bilbo, Elijah Wood as Frodo, Cate Blanchett as Galadriel, Viggo Mortenson as Aragorn, and Liv Tyler as Arwen. The opening is even more eagerly anticipated in New York, where New Line's owner, Time Warner Inc., has its headquarters. The studio is hoping the Tolkien movies will help it recover from a string of costly flops. But where the opening is most eagerly anticipated is on the World Wide Web. To keep up with that stuff, I check some of them three times a day, and have for more than a year.
