Collecting The Precious: Weta Collectibles
As you know the digital effects wizards at Weta Workshop are not just
a company that makes some of the most fantastic images, props,
costumes, etc that you see on-screen. They also make collectibles
based on some of the stories they help produce. During The Lord of the
Rings trilogy their statues, busts, weapons, medallions and
environments were integral parts of collecting from those films. In
2005 this line of collectibles came to an end leaving Tolkien
collectors with a very impressive collection representing these films.

Robert ‘Fili’ Kazinsky Leaving The Hobbit Due To Personal Reasons
Peter Jackson has just posted on his Facebook page that Rob Kazinsky,
cast in the role of Fili, is going to be leaving The Hobbit due to
personal reasons. "I am sad to report that Rob Kazinsky, who was cast
in the role of Fili, is having to leave The Hobbit and return home,
for personal reasons.  Rob has been terrific to work with and his
enthusiasm and infectious sense of humour will be missed by all of
us..."
