Aragorn will be fighting this fellow? We can only speculate, but in the meantime, check out the picture in our scrapbook!
TINY SPOILER!Update! Toy Biz have requested this photo be removed, on account of it being an early prototype which may not represent the actual final appearance of the Witch King in the film.

Caffeine lover saves favoured place

The future of the third Lord of the Rings movie might have been saved by the heroic efforts of a caffeine crazy art director.

"I'll be damned if I'm going to miss out on a coffee, mate," he said. The Weta Workshop employee was walking past the cafe in the Wellington suburb of Miramar yesterday afternoon when he noticed smoke billowing out of a room above the cafe, a favourite haunt for cast and crew working on

He showed up on the set of Episode III fresh out of his cast, but still on crutches. Unfortunately, there were no details on how the injury happened. According to your site,
Laga'aia played Ugluk in "TTT",' but IMDB doesn't list him in any LotR movies. At any rate, it certainly sounds like he'll be in the third one.
