Tragic news: Oscar-winning sound editor (and frequent collaborator of Peter Jackson) Mike Hopkins has died in New Zealand. Despite wearing a life vest and a helmet, the veteran sound editor drowned in a rafting accident when his raft capsized. Best known for his work in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, his work also includes Dreamgirls (2006), King Kong (2005), Blade Runner (1982), and the classic 1968 version of Romeo and Juliet.
