While I'm updating earlier reports - NewsWire reports that the Capitol Court will be restored, starting (as I mentioned earlier) around January next year. They expect to show their first movie around September 2010 already, which is fantastic!
It's all being driven by Jamie Selkirk, who co-owns it with Peter Jackson and Richard Taylor. Apparently the other two are too busy making movies, so he's taking over the project.
Jamie Selkirk has been working with Peter Jackson ever since Peter's first movie Bad Taste, and has edited every PJ movie since then.
The Capitol Court will be TWO screens (not one, as I reported earlier), and will be renamed The Miramar. There was no mention of any Lord Of The Rings exhibits planned.
Two new partners have been found - Penthouse Cinema and Polo Cafe, who will be supplying the coffee.
Full report here.

I saw they are doing something in that building today. Dropping some heavy construction frame steels. May be they are starting to build the cinema?
ReplyDeleteThanks for the tip! I had noticed a few things happening there as well, but I'll take a closer interest from now on!
