Alright... for the last... ohhhhh 5 or 6 days now, I've been receiving delay reports on the start date of shooting on LORD OF THE RINGS... Folks this is not new. The original Press article that is now making the international rounds is using entirely information from our own AICN interviews with Peter Jackson. It's nothing to sweat over, nothing to get excited over. Peter wants as much pre-production time as possible to... plan every single shot, to map out the schedules, to knit a billion dang chainmail suits... This is a mammoth production on a limited (though large) budget, and to make sure every dime is tripled in value on screen, he wants to try to clear as many potholes and wreckage from his course. So basically... this is just a heads up saying... Ignore the latest report from the mainstream press... it's old news...
According to a website here (it's in norwegian tho), the New Zealand Press Association is reporting that "THe Lord of the Rings" will be delayed somewhat, due to the complex task of writing the scripts, and that shooting will start in August for the first movie, 3 months behind schedule.
I'm sure you can check if it's valid or not by your own sources, please let us LotR-holics know.
