ZÜRICH/LONDON –That’s going to be big. In his new film «Save Angel Hope» a comedian Erich Vock (44) is playing beside “Lord of the Rings”-Star Billy Boyd (37). Marc Sway wrote the song for the film. And Billy is one of the singers.

Scotland is really beautiful at the moment, I'm sure the weather is much better than it normally is at this time of year, I'm sitting in my sisters front room at the moment looking out at a wonderful morning and thinking I should really get in the shower and do something. For those of you who live in all year round hot country's you probably don't get that feeling of guilt that us further north or south get that it seems almost sinful to stay indoors on a warm day! I mean all I really want to do today is go and see X-Men 2, which I haven't seen yet, and which I have been trying to see since it came out but something always seems to come up. Always a treat to see Ian Mckellan whether on stage or screen and as I will be seeing him soon for pick ups in New Zealand I don't want to tell him I haven't made it to see his movie! By the way for anyone who can get to London to see his play and haven't do your self a favour and go!!! It is a wonderful production and a chance to see an acting legend, you'll kick yourself when it's run stops and you've missed it.

The whole world knows him as Pippin the Hobbit. In „The Lord of the Rings“ Billy Boyd plays one of the three loyal friends, who accompany Frodo on his dangerous quest.

Boyd plays his newest part under the direction of a Swiss: Lukas Erni has adapted Hans Gmürs’ musical «Bibi-Balu» for cinema. Erich Vock plays the doltish assistant of a swiss police-chef.

But Boyd isn’t just an actor. He also plays the guitar and composed and sang the theme song of „The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King“. Because there are actors of both lands in the swiss-british production «Save Angel Hope», it makes sense, to do the theme song as a cross border teamwork, too.

So Boyd came to Zurich on Saturday, to record the song “Gimme your Love”, which is composed by Marc Sway. “That afternoon was one of the funniest ones for a long time,” said Sway thrilled.
