In a controversial move by director Michael Bay, Weaving was chosen as the Decepticon leader Megatron vocally in the 2007 live-action film Transformers, rather than using the original version of the character's voice created by the voice actor, Frank Welker.

Weaving himself was unaware of the controversy and had accepted the role based on Michael Bay's personal request ; in a November 2008 Sun Herald interview, he said he'd never seen Transformers.

In early 2009, Guillermo Del Toro, then director of The Hobbit films, prequels to The Lord of the Rings, confirmed his intent to again cast Weaving as Elrond of Rivendell in a BBC interview When asked about reprising the role, Weaving replied that he was game, but had not officially been approached.

Weaving and wood-cutting were “ bad luck ", giving both men and women a proper holiday, and if a dog was heard barking on Epiphany one ought to look for his or her future spouse in that same direction.

Locally the Sibilla was in some sense a beneficent fata whose retinue would descend from her mountain at times to teach the village girls all the secrets of spinning and weaving ( see Weaving ( mythology ) for other European weaving goddesses ), and perhaps to dance the saltarello with the best of the young men.

Weaving was a major home industry by this time with cloth woven in small workshops attached to people's homes, for the clothiers of the nearby towns.

Weaving was " put out " to surrounding villagers.
