HOBBIT PALS JOIN FORCES FOR ROAD FILM
Cath Bennett And Beverley Lyons
AS Hobbits, they were inseparable. Now Lord Of The Rings stars Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan are about to make a road
movie of their own.
Billy and Dom, who played Pippin and Merry, are great pals in real life and have now drafted in award-winning Scots playwright
David Greig to help take their pet project forward. The pals want to play themselves in a comedy they've called Wild Colonial
Boys about two inept Brits on a road trip around America.
Billy met David Greig when he starred in his play San Diego at the 2003 Edinburgh Festival - and he knew David was the
right person to help write the film.
The idea was born during Lord Of The Rings.
Billy said: "Dom and came up with the idea of doing a film while sitting up a mechanical tree.
"We have just had a meeting together and it looks like a first draft of the new script is imminent."
