The Matrix Star Hugo Weaving criticizes silence over Palestine.
The acclaimed Actor believes Australians are being “cowed into not speaking out” about Israel’s invasion of Gaza. “I think the problem in our country is we’re all cowed into not speaking out. And that’s the problem I have. And I thought that was true of the STC. I think it’s true up to the highest echelons of power in our country and in the US.
His remarks follow actors demonstrating solidarity with Palestine during the finale of The Seagull, an Andrew Upton adaptation of an Anton Chekhov play in Sydney. Harry Greenwood (Hugo Weaving’s son), Megan Wilding, and Mabel Li wore Palestinian keffiyehs during three curtain calls. Sydney Theatre Company has apologized for its delayed response to the actors’ expression of solidarity with Palestine, an apology criticized by Hugo.

It was 20 years ago (ish) :: Empire magazine publishes The Lord of the Rings: A Celebration, a special booklet enclosed with the magazine's January 2004 issue, which was released in December 2003. The booklet carried interviews with the principal cast of the LOTR trilogy as well as a significant amount of the creatives involved. The photography was taken in Watford, New York, Wellington, London, Sydney, Los Angeles, Surrey, Melbourne, and Vancouver between February and October 2003. Shown here:
Ian McKellen (Gandalf), Elijah Wood (Frodo), Billy Boyd (Pippin); John Rhys-Davies (Gimli/Treebeard), Dominic Monaghan (Merry), Sean Bean (Boromir); Orlando Bloom (Legolas), Sean Astin (Sam), Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn); Miranda Otto (Eowyn), Andy Serkis (Gollum/Smeagol), Liv Tyler (Arwen); Bernard Hill (Theoden), Christopher Lee (Saruman), Karl Urban (Eomer); Hugo Weaving (Elrond), David Wenham (Faramir), and Cate Blanchett (Galadriel).
[Note: Dominic Monaghan's photo here is an outtake; the actual shot in the booklet can be seen here. These photoshoots provided several excellent outtakes that I'd be happy to share if there is interest.]

Apropos of absolutely nothing, this Elrond snippet from when Aragorn is reunited with Arwen is one of my favorite (and in my opinion most underrated) tiny little acting moments in the whole LOTR trilogy:
It’s literally just a handful of frames and yet he manages to pack into those frames a whole visual representation of Elrond’s entire ages-long emotional life—of being the guy who constantly accepts the heartbreak of being left behind because the ones he loves need to be true to themselves and make the choices they feel compelled to make. His dad, his mom, his twin brother, his wife, his daughter (possibly in the future, depending on your thoughts, his twin sons)….it’s all there on his face with that tiny little resigned sigh just before the loving smile. You can absolutely feel him choke down the fear, the concern, the loneliness, the “why is this happening to me AGAIN!?”, because they exist right alongside legitimate happiness to see her do what she wanted and needed to do.
It gets me every time!
