Welcome to Sweetestthingsonline.com,
a fan forum dedicated to all the actors of Peter Jackson's "Lord of the Rings".

"One ring to rule them all, One ring to find them.
One ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them."

       The words above have ignited the imaginations of more than 100 million fans around the globe. The first book, 'Fellowship of the Ring', was written in 1954 by J.R.R. Tolkien, the first volume in his three-part epic, "The Lord of the Rings". It was followed by 'The Two Towers' and 'The Return of the King'. Tolkien's work had a profound effect on generations of readers, defining for many the archetypal struggle between good and evil.

       These books introduced us to many unforgetable heroes - the Hobbit, Frodo Baggins, Aragorn, the ranger who would be king, and many other characters caught up in a war of mythic proportions in Middle-earth.

       These characters have been brought to life on the motion picture screen, by Peter Jackson. This became one of the most colossal movie productions ever conceived. Jackson released the films in three separate installments one year apart, beginning December 19, 2001.

       The films star Elijah Wood, Ian McKellen, Sean Bean, David Wenham, Liv Tyler, Viggo Mortensen, Sean Astin, Miranda Otto, Cate Blanchett, John Rhys-Davies, Billy Boyd, Dominic Monaghan, Orlando Bloom, Christopher Lee, Hugo Weaving, and Ian Holm, with Andy Serkis as Gollum. The films also star Marton Csokas, Mark Ferguson and Craig Parker.

News and Updates

Cate Blanchett: "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull"

"Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull" is a 2008 adventure film directed by Steven Spielberg, from a story co-written by executive producer George Lucas. Set in 1957, this fourth film in the Indiana Jones film series pits an older and wiser Indiana Jones (Harrison Ford) against agents of the Soviet Union—led by Spalko (Cate Blanchett)—for the crystal skull.

Producer, Frank Marshall, has confirmed that the film is set in 1957, making it nineteen years since Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, thus acknowledging the real-life passing of years between films. Indiana Jones is having a quiet life teaching before being thrust back into his old adventuring. He battles agents of the Soviet Union for the crystal skull. "The theory is they are shaped by higher powers or alien powers or came from another world, or an ancient Mayan civilization had the powers," Marshall explained.

Cate Blanchett as Irina Spalko, a villainous Russian agent. Frank Marshall said Spalko continued the tradition of Indiana having a love-hate relationship "with every woman he ever comes in contact with". Blanchett had wanted to play a villain for a "couple of years". She enjoyed being a part of the Indiana Jones legacy as she loved the previous films. Spalko's bob cut was Blanchett's idea, with the character's stern looks and behaviour recalling Rosa Klebb in From Russia with Love.

 

Sean Bean: "Sharpe's Peril"

Sean Bean stars in a new adventure which began filming March 3, 2008 in Khajuraho and Orccha, India. Filming will continue to April 19.

The story begins at the end of Sharpe's Challenge. Sharpe and Harper are en route to Madras when they encounter a baggage train from the East India Company traveling through hostile territory. Chitu, a legendary bandit leader in control of the area, strikes fear in the members of the party. When an attack occurs Sharpe takes control of the situation, leading the group 300 miles through enemy territory and training the disorganized, rag-tag group to be proper soldiers. Despite all these responsibilities, Sharpe still manages to find time for a little romance.
