Press release: an unknown is cast in the role of Samwise. While actors such as Sean Astin have expressed interest in the role, Peter Jackson explains that the role of Sam "just can't be played by someone the audience is familiar with" from such roles as Rudy. The name of the actor chosen for this key part is yet to be announced.

Shooting begins..
*Samwise disappears under water, Elijah holds out his hand. (bubbles stop)*

*voice off-camera*: Uh-oh.

PJ: Man, am I glad I went with an unknown.

Press release: the role of Samwise has been recast! Says Sean Astin "I'm really surprised they called me at such a late date. They must have been really impressed with my audition." Studio sources report "we really need the name recognition that an actor of Sean's calibre can generate." An unnamed source on location states, "Dude, let's just say there was this one scene where the other guy just didn't work out."
