Dom on Sci Fi Channel This Week, Fortuna Movie, Sighings & New Stalkerazzi
Video: "Hero Factor: Fable 2"
1. Once again, Sci Fi Channel special on Fable 2 with interviews with Dominic airs:
Check your local listings for your area, blah, blah...
It's scheduled to fill a whole half hour time slot.
2. GameTrailers.com has a 7 minute exclusive preview of the special in hi-res OR low-res in WMV, MOV, MP4. (NOT WORK SAFE?)
nothing_to_say has gone to the trouble of getting more precise links here-ish with a couple of caps. (The video has also been YouTubed.)
3. This shorter segment at Gamerscoreblog.com is probably all material included in the GameTrailers segment, but it doesn't play well for me, so I'm including it anyway. Let me know, won't you?
News -- Fortuna
1. Dom is scheduled to star in a "horror thriller" called Fortuna, which starts a six week shoot on November 10 in Bulgaria. The Hollywood Reporter/Reuters announcment reads:
Monaghan, Rodriguez cast in 'Fortuna'
Grim future vision of collapsed economy, climate

Just in time for the next depression, Dominic Monaghan and Freddy Rodriguez star in a horror thriller offering one potential solution to our economic problems.
Set in 2100, "Fortuna" envisions an Earth where a collapsed economy and climate crises have eliminated the middle class, leaving a few very wealthy and the teeming masses in severe poverty. To give hope and avoid revolt, the elite create Fortuna, a mysterious game where one in a thousand wins a big payday and joins the upper classes. But their hidden goal to "reduce poverty" by 30% over 50 years comes with a deadly price tag.
Monaghan, Rodriguez and "Fortuna" writer-director Barthelemy Grossmann will play desperate men who play the game in a nearby tower, despite apprehensions that none of its contestants are ever seen again.
The privately financed film will be produced by Laurent Zilber and co-produced by Scott Duncan. It marks the sophomore feature and English-language debut of Swiss helmer Grossmann, whose debut "13 m2" hit French theaters last year.
The six-week "Fortuna" shoot begins Nov. 10 in Sofia, Bulgaria. Desolate, ghettolike sets are being built for a film Zilber compares to 1973's postapocalyptic thriller "Soylent Green."
APA-repped Monaghan is best known for his roles in the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy and ABC's "Lost." Former "Six Feet Under" star Rodriguez, repped by ICM and Kass Stokes Management, will next be seen in Overture's "Nothing Like the Holidays."

2. /film version of the story has possible script spoilers in the comments.

Sightings by the Public
1. nothing_to_say found another Twitter sighting of Dom, this time with Billy:
Hobbit gathering! Billy Boyd and Dominic Monaghan spotted having dinner at Hal's on Abbot Kinney. - 02:31 AM October 07, 2008
Hal's is in Venice, CA.
2. This Friday, October 10th blog entry says:
We went to [...] San Clemente Monday through Wednesday. While there, we went to the beach, San Diego Zoo [...] We enjoyed a very hot day at the zoo, during which we saw Dominique Monaghan hanging out with Billy Boyd and his wife (I think) and kid. So, we're pretty much famous.
Sightings in the Press
1. People Magazine website of October 20:
Evangeline Lilly and Dominic Monaghan, sharing a romantic evening at So.Cial at Le Magasin in Vancouver's Gastown neighborhood. The Lost stars "seemed very comfortable and affectionate with each other and smiled at other guests," an onlooker tells us.
2. From a Chicago Sun TImes article on cheap Hawaiian travel:
For a couple bucks, TheBus will take you to one of my favorite snorkeling destinations, Hanauma Bay, about 10 miles east of Waikiki.
You won't have the bay to yourself. It can get crowded, but it's popular for good reason. The setting is a magnificent volcanic crater filled with water and fish. You'll have a blast watching tourists going bananas about the eels and other marine life.
This is where I spotted actor Dominic Monaghan, one of the few "Lost" actors who wasn't picked up for DUI on Oahu. The "Lord of the Rings" hobbit was wandering around Hanauma Bay just like everyone else..
Sightings with Photos
1. Dom at the Vigin Megastore, September 8.
2. This one from back in March now has more info in a comment from the photographer.
3. An older photo: I'm not sure if this photo is misleading, but it's now one of my favorites.
Photos: Stalkerazzi
1. There are about 40 or so brand new photos of Dom at key eastern services. *cough*
2. posh24.com has a bunch of Dom parking lot (and down the sidewalk) photos.
3. Post #1930 on this BBB thread with Crate & Barrel (top)/Venice Festival (bottom of post).
Also, check for locked posts.
Alert: DVD
1. Lost Season 4, with Dom's latest episode... so far, was released in the US on October 9th on DVD and Blu-ray ($36.99/$52.95 respectively at Amazon.com, where they have a Lost store).
2. And, in the UK, on October 20th in both formats. (£30.00/£40.98 at Amazon.co.uk) There is also a fancy box set or two.
Tidbits
1. A YouTube video of Dom and Evi in France in 2005 is making the Google Alert rounds. I've linked to it before twice, but since it came up again.... HERE is the original. (I'm sure someone can capture a better version... at least without the capture software ad.)
2. Dom's friend Jason Z uses his blog to sum up Dom in one word. (And Billy in two.) HERE.
3. This might be a good place for news... xmorigins.
