With little rest after returning from Comic-Con Weta’s hit China as part of the Shanghai Int’l Film Prototype Exhibition. Forum member vigshane gives us a great photo report from the exhibit where she met up with Richard Taylor and Greg Broadmore. On display are original Lord of the Rings and King Kong props aplenty, right alongside Dr. Grordbort’s creations.

There is also an exhibit of workshop artist David Meng’s sculptures that I am curious to see. Click through and check out her pics!

The flow of Prawn contraband is nigh unstoppable now as alarming reports of Weta’s Arc Generator surface outside the confines of South Africa. Forum members thx217, LOTR Fan, Mongoleone and JESTER have provided a plethora of photographic evidence detailing this dangerous life-size weapon. MNU stock has dropped 84 points today in light of this news.

Do you dare enter District 9?
