We would like to extend a very happy Memorial Day to all of our US fans. Please take a moment to remember our armed forces – for those who have fought to defend our country and keep us safe. We hope you enjoy your extra day off…hopefully the sun is shining bright wherever you are! Cheers!
Well we most certainly hope that last weeks trivia did not cause any brains to implode. But, you see…we couldn’t resist! The answer to last Mondays question was way too cool NOT to share! Though, we DO apologize to your eyes for the strain LOL. Personally, we find that learning these unique and interesting facts about HellboyII make it all that much more of an enjoyable movie…we hope you agree. SO enough blah blah blah – you probably wanna know what today’s question is. Ok ok … here ya go
It’s been a while since we have posted any images from the making of the Silverlance Trailer. Well, basically that’s because we thought we posted them all! But guess what… we found MORE! LOL These are from the cutting room floor.
When we started the trailer we were worried we would not be able to fill the length of music, however we found that we had too much and had to edit out scenes. Today’s image is from 1 of 3 scenes that ended up not being used at all.
Creature Catchers
Often confused with butchers, creature catchers deal in a different sort of fare: exotic animals intended for use in potions, spells, and, very occasionally, gourmet cookery. Their wares are among the most expensive in the Market, and for additional fees, some can be commissioned to hunt rarer quarries still.

Welcome to ROUND THREE TRIVIA! Hmm… should we be nice this round? Or should we make it an epic blow off your socks and gnaw at your brain round? Well *teehee* …perhaps we shall mix them up. Get ready though, we’re starting with a doozy!
PRINCE: I agree. Death it is- And the guards turn toward the king and stab him. The Princess screams. The Prince looks away as the old monarch tumbles from his throne, dead. The heads of the clans try to flee, but are kept at bay by the other guards.
Have you read the working script of HBII?
If not here is your chance.
He watched as his people passed through the damp and ill-lit streets of the market trying in some form or another to survive, to live as best they could in the shadows of what the humans had forced them to be. A group of younglings ran by giggling as they chased a flitting pixie, making his heart heavy with sadness. They had never known the joys of what their homeland used to be: The nature of of the forests, the glory of the magic within. They were born into darkness and hiding, and they would never know any different if he didn’t do something about it. Nuada knew he would have to endure his temporary madness for the good of his people. For their future. (From The Seeker by Jolynn)
TIC TAC TROLL is stomping in to some GREAT support on Droid!
The stats after 10 days were:
Thats Troll-Tastic!
Goblin Cooks
Goblins are widely known for their skill at handicrafts; it is less common knowledge that those crafts include cooking. The Goblin cooks at the Market are invariably in high demand for the exotic delicacies they create.

Luke Goss recently told Ellen Stodola of TheCelebrityCafe.com about his upcoming projects. “I’ve also just signed on to a new movie from Universal, so I’m really excited for that as well. I’m really busy right now”
We have been getting a lot of questions from this interview.
Our Response: Contracts on upcoming projects are subject to disclosure clauses between studios and actors. The studio has to approve anything publicly stated.
That being said, we do NOT know what the film will be. Obviosly we hope for a specific one, but do not place all hope upon it. Also do not lose hope if it is not – studios move slow. We have gotten attention. Let us just remember the magical equation we had stated back when Death Race 2 was being released:
Luke Goss + Universal = NUADA!
Universal Pictures is showing that they have developed a very positive relationship with Luke. Lets make SURE they know we back him on ALL projects… with one “special” one in particular!
We have just added some updated demographics. As you may have noticed, we like to do this about every 4 months to show the powers that be that the love for Nuada is STILL going strong!
Ohhh those little guys are just too CUTE for words! …well when they arent eating you! We happened upon a GORGEOUS Tooth Faerie wallpaper that we just adore!
Ahh nothing like a little break to recharge your batteries… and your stock of tricksy Nuada questions. By the end of Round Three we will have (in total) asked you guys 108 questions!! LOL We need just a few more days to collect the rest of them for this round… just one more week everyone!
We will be back up and rocking Round Three for May 23, 2011!
Cant wait… well, you can always go back through the old questions and try them again to beat your score!
We are VERY happy to be able to feature this brand new video by Jolynn. She has created this wonderful visual tribute to help further spreading the word about the Prince Nuada Petition. It is things like this that help to get us one step closer to our goal! If you like what you see, please feel free to post the link around … dont forget to leave her a nice comment.

The Children’s Mutual’s annual Tooth Fairy Index has revealed that the average cost of a child’s tooth has fallen six per cent from £1.22 to £1.15. The index shows that even the Tooth Fairy is having to fight the economic gloom, giving away £1.3 million less this year than last, as the credit crunch extends its clutches to the magic realm of Fairyland.

We will be taking a small break from trivia before we start round 3. It’s been a long couple of months and we need to recoup and gather some new good (and tricky) questions for you all before starting the final round of Who Knows Nuada.
The oaks and the pines, and their brethren of the wood, have seen so many suns rise and set, so many seasons come and go, and so many generations pass into silence. The story of the trees exists to be told to those who have ears fine enough to understand.
Louisville, Kentucky
A subterranean restaurant and bar called Troll’s Pub Under the Bridge will open this July.
The below street level business will have access from an exterior stairwell under the bridge and will feature an 8-foot-high image of a troll hanging over the exterior stairwell.

Welcome to the new home of Hidden Realm Entertainment! We hope you enjoy the new look! When we first launched we never anticipated that we would be adding so many new things: pictures, comics, trivia, games and more… and it was getting a little cluttered. So since we needed a “functional ” redesign, we also wanted to make it feel more like a cozy little corner of Bethmoora. Each page is unique and we would like to invite you to take a few moments to have a look around.
…and yes, if you havent guessed it, THIS is the big surprise that we have been hinting at over the last few weeks. Did anyone figure it out??
We are excited to announce that not only has the site been Bethmoora-ized but we now have a MOBILE version that should be a lot easier to read and navigate as well!
HRE LOGO:Will take you back to the landing page.
** We have tried to find any “bugs” that exsist within the site, but should you experience something odd please let us know and we will do our best to get fix it **
Has it been that long all ready?? We have come to the last week of Round 2 of the Who Knows Nuada Trivia game. Awesome job to ALL who have played so far! And if you are just joining us now, dont worry we will be taking a small break, but WILL return with Round 3! There will also be a special surprise at the end of Round 3 for those that find themselves in the Top Ten!
**FRIDAYS question this week was answered personally by Luke Goss!!
Its a “special” one… just for the ladies!
• Nuada was discussed in an interview by Jeffrey Harris on 04.30.2011 with Luke Goss over at 411mania. Here is the Nuada excerpt.
Jeffrey Harris: What was it like working with a tremendous director like Guillermo del Toro on that movie?
Luke Goss: I can be very, very intense on set, but he knows for me, he’s only coming from a place where I consider what I’m doing. And I think without a doubt he’s the most prepared director I’ve ever worked with. I think having seen the way he works, he was more human in the first film. There was a lot more humanity as far as friendship is concerned, but I do still think his attention to detail never went down. He’s still that amazing director and I think just getting better and stronger. Definitely, I loved his sense of humor on the first movie. He has such a great sense of humor and a great sense of boyish enthusiasm about that genre and as the way all of us do love those kinds of movies. And he just was a joy to be assisted by – del Toro saves you from yourself. He has so much faith in what his actors are bringing because he knows why he’s got each actor on set. There’s no guess work with him. But what he does is he saves you from the choices that might divert the power of the role and I think he just really keeps actors on track more than dictating them. I love, love working with him.
Jeffrey Harris: So it must be nice not having to wear as much make-up for a film like Blood Out right?
Luke Goss: I think I’d do makeup now for del Toro but I can’t imagine that I’d be wearing makeup for anyone else. Because with del Toro you know you are going to achieve greatness with him. But yeah I really am in the business now of not wearing the makeup because it’s just too exhausting and also on a professional level . . . you find yourself in these number one movies and you don’t have any face value which is inevitably what gets you the better roles. And so I just want to stick with – I’ve got what I’ve got on my face; people either love it or hate. But I want I don’t be the guy put in the role rather than – I don’t want to do the makeup, but I guess for del Toro I would do it again.
Jeffrey Harris: That said, I thought Prince Nuada in Hellboy 2 was a great antagonist and character. He was more than just bad guy. He had these intense scenes where he showed in some ways he is a righteous and justified character. In Nuada’s own mind, he’s the hero of the fairy tale and fable realm that’s being destroyed by humanity.
Luke Goss: I get very excited when I hear – and it’s not an ego thing at all – but I get very excited when I hear someone or a journalist discussing and telling me about him. Because it means that you give a **** and you’ve considered it and you are listening to what he’s saying and watching his actions. I remember saying something to del Toro, I said, “When he fights or when he’s doing this thing you have to remember, he’s not standing up there with his nose looking down.” And I guess that’s the one thing I was very adamant about as an actor, was that I don’t want to have him look down and look up to the individuals like metaphorically speaking. Because this character is like a prince looking down his nose, but everything he does – he’s going to butt heads in the movie. People will want him dead. I said, “He’s not happy about any of this. This is something he has to do. And it gives him great pain.” So just the adjustment of lowering head and thinking of looking up at people with a kind of sense of constant sorrow, I think people related to him. And I think it was great that you said it was kind of a just cause. Because certainly the way that humans were portrayed in the movie, “take, take, take, take until there is nothing left.” And when he [Nuada] said, “Where is the honor in this?” I think it was one of those scenes where you generally question, where is the honor? I think honor is only in the action, but there’s nothing honorable about the environment. The only honor was left from my father and it was failed honor because it inevitably it would kill his people. And I think honor cannot be reached out to then where you let the demise of your people. That’s not leadership. He [Nuada] understood his father’s intentions but they were misplaced because they had become obsolete and if they had carried on much longer there would be none of them left.
