elijah_findsI've had very little time to be around here recently, so I do apologise if any of this has already been posted up, or if anyone has previously seen these! (Please let me know if that's the case). But as things have doubtless begun to quieten down a little, to help fill the gap here's some older stuff and (hopefully) some newer stuff too.
CONTAINS MINOR DAY ZERO SPOILERS
A journalist from Elijah's old home town of Cedar Rapids, Rob Merritt of the Gazette, caught up with him at Tribeca and that was reported here at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-community.gif)

However, I'm not sure if this entry from the journalist's blog has already been linked to -- it provides the backstory to the interview:
Tuesday May 1st
Rob Merritt
Tribeca, Day 4: Chasing Elijah Wood
<< "The Final Season" didn’t have anything else scheduled at Tribeca until Tuesday.
So in the meantime, I decided to attempt the impossible: Chase down actor and Cedar Rapids native Elijah Wood for an interview, one that no media in Eastern Iowa has been able to get in 17 years.
Elijah has been gone from Cedar Rapids for so long that many people don’t even realize he once lived here. I do, though -- and not just because of the coverage he got when he first left. Elijah and I were once students together at St. Patrick’s Elementary School.
We were four years apart, so any interaction we might have had was in passing. (I did know his older brother Zach, who was much closer to me in age.) Still, when Elijah left for California and landed a role in a Paula Abdul video, everyone at St. Pat’s taped it. We flocked to the theater to see him in a bit part in “Back to the Future II.”
Then Elijah made “The Good Son,” “Forever Young” and “Avalon,” and just like that he was a superstar.
Around that same time, Iowans stopped hearing from him. When Elijah first left, he’d come back from time to time to give interviews to local media. Sometime in the early 90s, though, it all stopped. Sure, attempts were made – especially when Wood landed the coveted role of Frodo in the “Lord of the Rings” trilogy – but publicists wouldn’t return phone calls. When they want to create a wall, ain’t nobody gonna get through it.
Unless, of course, you’re a stubborn and somewhat deranged Gazette A&E writer at Tribeca, who discovers that Wood has a movie premiering there one day after “The Final Season” does.
Wood’s movie is called “Day Zero.” It’s about what it would be like if the U.S. military reinstated the draft for Iraq. Wood plays a writer who gets drafted, as do two of his close friends, Chris Klein (“American Pie”) and John Bernthal (“World Trade Center”). Even while the three debate whether the draft (and the war) is right, Wood assembles a list of all the things he needs to do with his life in the 30 days before he must report for duty.
It seemed like the perfect chance to catch up with a guy I hadn’t seen since Catholic school. So weeks in advance, I made a request to be included on the list of media covering the film. I worked out my Tribeca schedule to make sure I’d be free.
And so it was that Sunday night, I gathered up my camera and tape recorder and headed to the red-carpet premiere.
I already shared with you the craziness of red-carpet events two blogs ago. That said, let me make clear: “The Final Season” was a cakewalk compared to the avalanche of fans, media and paparazzi that awaited Elijah Wood. This may have been a low-budget independent film, but you wouldn’t have known it from the storm of flashbulbs, the shouting of reporters and the sheer number of celebrities walking by. Chris Klein! Ally Sheedy! Topher Grace! And then, there he was: amidst a sea of popping flashbulbs, I was laying eyes on Elijah Wood in person for the first time since 1988.
Now, here’s the thing. Just because I had talked my way onto the red carpet didn’t mean I’d actually get to talk to Elijah. It’s like making it to callbacks after an audition; you got through the door, but you still don’t have the part. The publicist made it clear that Elijah had very limited time to do interviews, and that once the premiere was getting close, they would pull him out of there no matter how many reporters were left. And I was pretty far down on the line; ahead of me were much bigger outlets, including MTV, Stuff magazine, InStyle, Fox News … It did not look good at all.
During that hour-long wait on the press line, I made my case to the publicist. I explained my childhood connection to Elijah, and that I wrote for his hometown paper, and that I’d flown all the way to New York to speak with him. (Hey, she didn’t need to know I was already here for “The Final Season …”) The publicist replied that she couldn’t make any guarantees, and that I’d just have to wait and see.
So now here we were, and the TV shows were hogging Wood’s time. At least 14 more reporters stood between me and him, and already Klein and Sheedy were being pulled off the carpet and taken inside by their publicists for the start of the movie.
I took pictures of Elijah from a distance, but figured that was the best I’d be able to offer The Gazette. Things looked bad. I knew this had been a long shot from the beginning, but still, I felt terribly disappointed.
Then the publicist took Elijah’s arm. She led him past all the reporters between him and me. As she stopped in front of me, she told the other reporters that this would be Elijah’s last interview of the night.
“This is the paper from Cedar Rapids,” she told him.
Elijah’s eyes widened as he heard that. “No way,” he said as he shook my hand.
“Yeah, and we went to school together 20 years ago at St. Patrick’s,” I said.
Elijah started laughing. “Get the f*** out!” he said. “Are we the same age?”
“Four years apart,” I said.
“St. Pat’s?!” Elijah repeated, shaking his head. “That’s amazing!”
And with that, I started interviewing him. I asked him how he felt about Iowans who still follow his career like a hometown hero, and about how he feels toward Iowa today. We talked about the new tax incentive passed in the Iowa Legislature, which makes Iowa a much more financially-attractive place for studios to make movies. We talked about his connection to Sean Astin, who starred in “The Final Season.” (You can read the final story here:
http://www.gazetteonline.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/20070501/FINALSEASON/70501003/1002/NEWS
I knew Elijah had to go, so we wrapped up. Then Elijah came back to the St. Pat’s point again.
“That is so cool. That is awesome,” he said with a laugh. “Where do you live now?”
“I still live in Cedar Rapids,” I said.
“No way!” Elijah replied. And then his publicist, of all people, stepped in and suggested that he get a picture with me, since we were schoolmates and all.
“Yeah, I would love to do that!” Elijah said.
Well, what am I gonna do, say no? The publicist commandeered my camera and snapped a photo of the two of us. (Just for the record, I’m still taller.) Elijah shook my hand again, and then headed into the theater, despite the pleas of journalists all around me who wanted him. And just like that, it was over – and it sunk it that I had actually pulled it off.
It would seem that surreal moments come in pairs, because the next day I went to the press screening of “Day Zero.” Which, by the way, is a great film; I like it more and more as I continue to reflect on it. But after the screening, members of the press went into a theater across the hall for a press conference … and in walk Elijah, Chris Klein and John Bernthal, along with the movie’s director and screenwriter. I’m sitting in the front row, which means Elijah sits maybe four feet across from me.
I get the first question, and so I ask Elijah and Chris Klein how they think a military draft would go over in the Midwest, since they both hail from there. And off we go. I got in a few more questions, trying to keep out of my mind that I’m conducting a back-and-forth discussion with a group of major actors while pretending that I belong in this room with much, much bigger media people than me. Oh – and whenever I’m not asking questions, I’m shooting photos for the story; it’s a heck of a lot easier here than it was on the red carpet. (The picture that accompanies the story I posted above is from this event.)
By the time all was said and done, I had more than enough material for a story on Elijah for the next day’s paper. I backed it up with quotes from the director and co-star Ginnifer Goodwin (if you don’t know her, she played Johnny Cash/Joaquin Phoenix’s first wife in “Walk the Line” last year) about working with him. I tried to get Chris Klein for that purpose too, and he seemed happy to talk to me – until his publicist noticed, started barking that he had another interview to get to and literally pushed him away from me and out the door of the theater.
Those publicists don’t fool around, I tell you.
Fortunately, I saw Elijah’s publicist nearby, and now I appreciated more than ever that she wasn’t like poor Chris Klein’s evil stormtrooper. I hadn’t been able to thank her the night before, so I stopped over there and did so now. I'd never have gotten the story without her.
Between Sean Astin and Elijah Wood, I have now interviewed two hobbits in the span of 24 hours. Now I return to Mission A, which is covering “The Final Season.”
But Mission B was one heck of a detour. >>

And whilst we're on the same kind of subject -- from zonebbs.com, in October 2006 a poster by name of SisterDawn said:
<< Hi, all! I knew Elijah Wood, the guy who played Frodo in the Lord of the Rings movies. He was born and grew up for part of his life in Cedar Rapids Iowa, which is where I'm from. His parents are Catholics. Elijah and his brother Zack went to the same Catholic school as me and my older sisters. I remember when the family picked up and moved to Hollywood, thinking Zack would be the one to make it big. They were obviously wrong. Elijah probably wouldn't know me from Eve nowadays, but I do remember him from when we were both kids. I have a particular memory of us playing dominos together in the winter when it was too cold to go outside for recess.
When Elijah played Huckleberry Finn years ago, I could still recognize his voice, because it hadn't lowered yet. when I saw the LOTR movies, I wouldn't have known it was him unless I'd already read IMDB. Still, it's cool to say I knew him when. >>
SisterDawn's profile says she was born in July 1980 & now lives in Nebraska.
***************
Moving on to Elijah's more recent homes ....
From the iParenting website:
<< Tune into The Learning Channel's Clean Sweep, and you'll find cluttered rooms being turned into organized and functional spaces. You'll also find Eric Stromer, the California-blonde carpenter with a sense of humor and way with power tools. ................
iP: How did it feel to be named one of People magazine's 50 sexiest men?
ES: First of all, it was incredibly flattering. Second of all, at the time this came out I think I was holding my (baby). At that time he was a month and a half old. I heard this on the telephone, and I said wow, I'm a really sexy guy, and all of a sudden my son starts to cry and I'm shaking him around trying to get him to stop and I look in the mirror and I'm like, no I'm not.
iP: You've worked on quite a few stars' homes.
ES: I think that's by nature of living in Los Angeles. When you get to a certain level in your business, you're just sort of ultimately going to run into people who are in media. And that seemed to happen right before I got this job. I've been in a couple different stars' homes.
Years ago, I repainted and did some tile work in Mel Gibson's apartment down in Santa Monica, and the guy from the hobbit, Elijah Wood, I did his house, which, actually also at one point before I remodeled the same house and it was Dillon McDermott's house. So I actually tore out all the stuff I'd done five years earlier and put in some new tile and a fireplace in Elijah Wood's house. >>
***************
I'm guessing this is an older sighting:
It seems there's a bar on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica called Father's Office where Elijah has been spotted.
<< Father's Office is a great bar, it's got a fantastic selection of beers on tap, and a killer burger. ...... My one gripe with the place is that it's too well known these days and it gets pretty packed making it hard to get a table. >>
<< its been a while since ive gone. but when i did, i would share an order of a burger with fries and a beet salad. that would be perfect with a cold glass of beer recommended by the bartenders. their beer selection is awesome. i saw elijah wood there once.
you know its a good place when you see a celebrity. >>

And finally ... from what I've been reading, some of you are experiencing very high temperatures at the moment where you live! So I hope this might help to make you feel a little cooler (or maybe it'll make you feel hotter -- who knows!) ;-)

Yeah, I'm glad she showed her nicer side -- I have an idea she doesn't normally come across as being all that "sensitive", but there again if she was a bit of a pushover, Elijah would just get swamped the whole time! Some have speculated that perhaps she needs to be the "baddie" who says "no" so that Elijah doesn't have to, and that makes sense I guess.

Date: 2007-05-11 10:29 am (UTC)Yes I got that impression too. I would like to think that he only employs handlers he trusts and respects to organise his celebrity life to his best advantage but I sometimes wonder if he occasionally gets manipulated and he lets it go for the sake of peace.
