Quite an old photo shoot for promotion of The Lord Of The Rings with the other hobbits, 4 photos in total, these were used for Premiere magazine.

Like many of you, Katie Holmes has been tuning in week after week to survey the talent the latest season of “American Idol” has to offer — and the star shared with us the one contestant that has dazzled her so far.

” ‘American Idol,’ I started again, which I’ve been watching,” she told MTV News. “I know [the auditions have been] wild. The pants guy! I mean, I remember the first season and then sort of I got … I didn’t watch it for a while, and now [I've been watching].”

Holmes’ “The Romantics” co-star Elijah Wood has been equally enamored with Larry Platt, who auditioned for the show in Atlanta and shared with the judges his little ditty “Pants on the Ground.” “I haven’t watched that show until this most recent season,” Wood shared. “I watched the first two seasons kind of religiously and then I didn’t watch it. So now I’m back on and it’s kind of amazing — the audition phase is the best part. ‘Pants on the Ground’ — yeah, it’s amazing. It’s mesmerizing.”

Mary J. Blige, who recently joined Kara DioGuardi, Simon Cowell and Randy Jackson at the judges’ table during the audition stop in Atlanta, shared that she too couldn’t resist Platt’s charms.

“Wow, when the man was performing ‘Pants on the Ground,’ I couldn’t believe what was happening,” she recalled. “When he did the split and the whole nine, I was like, ‘I’m done. This show is over. Please get me out of here ’cause I’m just gonna burst.’ ”

Production on the sequel to George Miller’s hit film Happy Feet has officially started in Sydney.

The original film which follows the story of a tap dancing penguin won the 2006 Best Animated Feature Oscar.

Today cast and crew returned to their roles, with dancers donning motion capture suits to rehearse some of the penguin dance numbers at Sydney’s Fox Studios.

Actors Robin Williams, Elijah Wood and Hank Azaria are also in town to lend their voices to the film for the next two weeks.

But Miller remained tight-lipped on what audiences can expect from Happy Feet 2.

“It’s a different story. A lot of the same characters, but it’s a different story with a lot of new characters,” he said.

Miller says Australia is well-placed to take advantage of the new technology now being used in film, as seen in recent films Avatar and District 9.

“This is an absolutely wonderful moment to be in the industry. Everyone thought cinema was dead and then we get the kind of movies you’re seeing now. And we’ve got the ability to make them,” he said.

But he says complacency in terms of investment in the film industry has also held the nation back.

“In NSW, in Australia, I do believe we’ve been too lazy. We’ve let others steal the march and now it’s changing,” he said.

“This is a brilliant time because there are so many jobs, and so many incredible talents and skills.”

The New South Wales Government says targeted investment has led to great returns, with the screen industry contributing more than $430 million to the state’s economy each year.

Premier Kristina Keneally says films such as Happy Feet 2 will provide a much needed injection to the state’s coffers during the three years of its production.

“Like so many industries, the local film industry has been doing it tough as a result of the global financial crisis and 500 jobs to our local industry over the three years is a very welcome boost,” she said.

Ms Keneally says in the final six months of 2009, an investment of $5.7 million towards 34 local film and television projects generated $69 million in expenditure.

“[It is] a good return on investment, growing this industry in NSW,” she said.

Miller says he is excited to be using the new motion capture studio at Sydney’s Carriageworks, which he says is the best in the world.

“The stuff we’re seeing already, I’m really, really happy with; where we’re going on it,” he said.

“Technology’s moved so quickly … the look already has improved and we’re just going to do our best to make the best film we can.

He says the success of places like Wellington in New Zealand as a film technology hub have been inspirational.

“I don’t think we would have even attempted this had I not seen what they did in Wellington,” he said.

“They’ve got the best talent pool in the world. Look at what they’ve done. Avatar, District 9 are two of three films nominated for visual effects.

“Wellington is a tenth of the size of Sydney and that economy has shifted dramatically. We go down there to get work done. That can be done here.”

Happy Feet 2 is scheduled for release in late 2011.

I have updated the gallery with hundreds of screen caps from ‘The Oxford Murders’ and from the behind the scenes featurette ‘Behind the murders‘. Warning some screen caps show mild nudity.

I have added 6 beautiful shots of Elijah which were taken at the Sundance Film Festival for promotion of ‘The Romantics’. Thanks to Sam for her help.

Some photos of Elijah have surfaced of him attending the Sundance Film Festival, as ‘The Romantics’ is being premiered there.

This year’s Sundance antics are not just being filmed and written about, they’re being documented old school style at MTV’s exclusive photo booth. Among the hoards of stars who have taken shots are Ben Affleck, Orlando Bloom, Malin Akerman — and now Katie Holmes and Elijah Wood can be added to that list.They were at the festival to promote their film “The Romantics,” which is about a group of friends from college reunited for a wedding.

The duo spoke to MTV News about their experience making the flick, and they both remembered how much fun they had between takes. “One lunch break,” recalled Elijah, “instead of going to lunch, we decided to have a party at one of the holding houses. There was a little iPod dock, and we played very loud music and danced. And the girls were amazing.”

Looks like the fun hasn’t ended. Katie and Elijah were all smiles in this shot of the pair in our photo booth! Want more self-portrait action? Click on the image above to be taken to the full Sundance flipbook!

I have updated the gallery with 22 photos of Elijah at the Art of Elysium’s Heaven Gala, which he attended on 19th January 2010.

Attention all Happy Feet lovers — get ready to toe tap to some cool sequel news.

According to sources, Matt Damon and Brad Pitt have both signed on to voice characters in the 3D sequel to the beloved 2006 green-themed film. They’ll be joining original cast members who includeRobin Williams and Elijah Wood.

The original film dealt with themes of over-fishing and other environmental issues — so we’re curious to see where the sequel might go. Look for it to dance into theaters sometime in November 2011.
