LotR Series Adds Crew Members

Tolkien News on Twitter reports that Amazon Prime's Lord of the Rings show has added four more crew members:

As you all know, the #LOTR series is being shot in New Zealand again after a longer standstill because of the Covid. In the period of the Corona "break" many actors and especially production members were added, like Chris Hiles [sound recordist], Oscar Faura [cinematographer], Helene Takacs [production manager, visual effects] and Damien Bryson [stunt performer; actor]. ….

EDIT: Fellowship of Fans on YouTube notes that both Bryson and Takacs have worked on the Hobbit films.

Rich Johnson of Bleeding Cool reports: Courtney (Simmons) Brown Quits DC for Amazon and Lord Of The Rings

Last month, Bleeding Cool broke the news that Courtney Simmons, Senior VP, DC Publicity & Communications at Warner Bros. Entertainment was leaving DC Comics AND Warner Bros this August, after nearly a decade at the comic book publisher. Today Bleeding Cool has learned a couple of things. Firstly, that she is now Courtney Brown. And, secondly, that she is now the new Head of The Lord of the Rings Franchise Publicity at Amazon Studios – which means congratulations are very much in order.

Thanks to Fellowship of Fans for the alert!
