LOTR Cast at the Bledisloe Cup Rugby Match At the match in Wellington yesterday six Lord of the Rings cast and two producers were guests of Wellington mayor, Mark Blumsky. Rings' associate producer, American Rick Parras described the cliffhanger result as a 'total tragedy'. But Los Angeles producer Barrie Osborne said even though the Blacks lost, 'it had to be one of the most exciting games of all times'. He also admitted it was the first rugby game he'd seen and one he would never forget. Geared up for the big game were hobbits Dominic Monaghan, Sean Astin and Elijah Wood. Osborne and Parras had been terrified they would miss kick-off after filming all morning and raced to the stadium to get there in time, said Rings' publicist Claire Raskin. 'They didn't want to miss a beat because they said it was as big as an American Super Bowl final', she said. Manchester United Football fan Bloom said he was blown away by the game. British actor Sir Ian McKellen (who plays the wizard Gandalf) said the game was thrilling.
