i saw this at tolkienonline.com that the guy who plays Elrond played a dragqueen in a different movie. I can't remember the name of it though...

I think it was set in Australia and won best costume or something in the oscars. I also found it hilarious.

The guys name is Hugo Weaving and he's been quite a few Australian films. I kept hoping that Elrond wouldn't be wearing drag queen clothes and start dancing to ABBA!

I think I made a post on the "What were they Really Thinking" thread about this.
Lotsa ABBA songs in that movie too. I couldn't stop laughing at the high heel sign on the way to Sidney in the movie. ![]()

I still haven't seen that movie. . .must see it sometime. Yeah, it's kinda funny to think about all the movies Hugo Weaving has been in, and think of all the funny crossovers. . .

![]() It is a cool movie and very funny. I haven't seen it a long time.
It is out on DVD and it's called - The Adventures of Priscilla, Queen of the Desert. At least that's what Amazon has it listed as.

I havn't seen the movie for a few years, but the basic premise is that three drag queens (including Hugo Weaving and Guy Pearce) go on a trip to the Australian outback in a bus called Priscilla. On the way they do various "shows". It's pretty funny.

I think they intend to hike up one of the highest peaks in the area wearing their most outrageous frocks.
