You
0:01
cannot
0:02
pass.
0:03
Stand
0:03
out.
0:09
I
0:09
am
0:09
servant
0:10
of
0:10
the
0:10
Secret
0:11
Fire.
0:11
Wielder
0:12
of
0:12
the
0:12
flame
0:13
of

Arnor.
0:15
The
0:15
dark
0:16
fire
0:16
will
0:16
not
0:17
avail
0:17
you,
0:17
flame
0:18

Ulung.
0:29
Go

0:30
to
0:30
the

shadow.
0:39
You
0:40
shall
0:41
not

1:23
Family,
1:23
you
1:24
fool.
1:30
In
1:30
a
1:30
world
1:31
overflowing
1:32
with
1:32
movies,
1:33
we
1:33
need
1:33
a
1:33
hero.
1:34
Someone
1:35
to
1:35
separate
1:35
the
1:35
bad
1:36
from
1:36
the
1:36
good.
2:10
Hi
2:11
everyone,
2:11
I'm

Em

welcome
2:12

2:12
verbal
2:12

2:13
episode
2:13
298,
2:15
the
2:15
Lord
2:15
of
2:16
the
2:16
Rings,
2:16
the
2:16
Fellowship
2:17
of
2:17
the
2:17
Ring.
2:18
This
2:18
is
2:18
the
2:18
podcast
2:19
that's
2:19
all
2:19
about
2:19
the
2:19
history
2:20
and
2:20
legacy.
2:20
Maybe
2:20
you
2:21
know
2:21
and
2:21
maybe
2:21
you
2:22
don't.
2:22
That
2:22
is
2:23
never
2:23
late
2:23
Frodo
2:24
Baggins,
2:24
nor
2:25
is
2:25
she
2:25
early.
2:26
She
2:26
arrives
2:26
precisely
2:27
when
2:27
she
2:28
means
2:28
to
2:29
welcome
2:29
to
2:29

Legacy

of
2:42
the
2:42
Lord
2:42
of
2:42
the
2:42
Rings
2:43
the
2:43
Fellowship
2:43
of
2:44
the
2:44
Ring
2:45
this
2:45
is
2:45
a
2:45
bit
2:45
of
2:46
a
2:46
momentous
2:46
occasion.
2:47
This
2:47
is
2:47
the
2:48
first
2:48
of
2:48
a
2:48
three
2:49
part
2:50
special
2:50
trilogy
2:51
of
2:51
episodes
2:53
that's
2:53
going
2:53
to
2:53
be
2:53
making
2:54
us
2:54
web
2:54
to
2:54
the
2:54
300th
2:55
episode
2:55
of
2:55
this
2:55
podcast.
2:56
But
2:57
just
2:57
a
2:57
huge
2:57
thank
2:58
you
2:58
to
2:58
everyone
2:58
who
2:58
listens
2:59
to
2:59
this
2:59
podcast
3:00
who
3:00
supports
3:01
this
3:01
podcast
3:01
and
3:02
has
3:02
continued
3:02
to
3:02
listen
3:03
to
3:03
and
3:03
support
3:04
this
3:04
podcast
3:05
over
3:05
the
3:05
last
3:05
six
3:05
years
3:06
and
3:06
almost
3:07
300
3:07
episodes.
3:08
It
3:08
genuinely
3:09
is
3:09
incredible
3:10
really
3:11
that
3:11
I
3:11
have
3:11
you
3:12
here,
3:12
but
3:12
also
3:13
thank
3:13
you
3:13
so
3:13
much
3:13
for
3:13
your
3:14
support
3:14
because
3:14
it
3:14
genuinely
3:15
means
3:16
so
3:16
much.
3:17
So
3:17
here
3:17
we
3:17
are,
3:18
the
3:18
run
3:18
up
3:19
to
3:19
the
3:19
300th
3:19
episode
3:20
of
3:20
Verbal
3:20
Diorama.
3:21
This
3:22
is
3:22
basically
3:22
the
3:22
second
3:23
of
3:23
a
3:24
five
3:24
part
3:24
episode
3:25
on
3:25
the
3:25
history
3:25
and
3:26
legacy
3:26
of
3:26
the
3:26
Lord
3:27
of
3:27
the
3:27
Rings,
3:28
focusing
3:28
on
3:29
Peter
3:29
Jackson's
3:29
trilogy
3:30
but
3:30
then
3:30
sandwiched
3:31
between
3:31
two
3:32
animated
3:32
versions,
3:33
Rath
3:34
Bakshi's
3:34
the
3:34
Lord
3:35
of
3:35
the
3:35
Rings
3:35
from
3:35
1978,
3:36
which
3:36
was
3:37
last
3:37
episode,
3:38
and
3:39
2024's
3:40
the
3:40
Lord
3:40
of
3:41
the
3:41
Rings
3:41
the
3:41
War
3:42
of
3:42
the
3:42
Rohirrin,
3:43
which
3:43
will
3:43
be
3:43
episode
3:43
301
3:44
of
3:45
this
3:45
podcast.
3:46
Now
3:46
if
3:46
you
3:46
haven't
3:47
listened
3:47
to
3:47
the
3:47
last
3:47
episode
3:48
on
3:48
the
3:49
Lord
3:49
of
3:49
the
3:49
rings
3:49
from
3:49
1978,
3:51
you
3:51
technically
3:52
don't
3:52
need
3:52
to.
3:53
But
3:53
I
3:54
would
3:54
recommend
3:54
it
3:55
even
3:55
if
3:55
you
3:55
haven't
3:55
seen
3:56
that
3:56
movie
3:56
because
3:57
Tolkien's
3:57
history
3:58
as
3:58
well
3:59
as
3:59
his
4:00
estate's
4:00
control
4:00
of
4:00
the
4:00
material
4:01
is
4:02
important
4:02
to
4:02
know
4:02
for
4:03
Jackson's
4:03
movies
4:04
as
4:04
well
4:04
as
4:05
Saul's
4:05
ain't
4:06
linked
4:06
to
4:06
the
4:06
rights
4:07
as
4:08
I'm
4:08
going
4:08
to
4:08
come
4:08
to
4:08
the
4:08
estate
4:09
didn't
4:09
have
4:09
anything
4:10
to
4:10
do
4:10
with
4:10
these
4:10
adaptations
4:11
by
4:11
Peter
4:12
Jackson,
4:12
but
4:13
Saul
4:13
Zainz
4:14
is
4:14
a
4:14
key
4:14
figure
4:16
so
4:17
this
4:17
is
4:17
technically
4:17
the
4:18
second
4:18
of
4:18
a
4:18
five
4:18
part
4:19
complete
4:19
story,
4:20
but
4:20
the
4:20
first
4:21
of
4:21
three
4:21
interconnected
4:22
stories.
4:23
And
4:23
because
4:24
Peter
4:24
Jackson
4:24
filmed
4:25
these
4:25
movies
4:25
back
4:25
to
4:26
back,
4:27
I
4:27
want
4:27
to
4:28
split
4:28
out
4:28
the
4:28
making
4:29
of
4:29
them
4:29
all
4:30
covered
4:30
across
4:30
the
4:31
three
4:31
episodes,
4:32
but
4:32
also
4:33
talk
4:33
about
4:33
the
4:33
trilogy
4:34
as
4:34
a
4:34
whole
4:35
across
4:35
the
4:35
three
4:35
episodes.
4:36
And
4:37
if
4:37
you're
4:37
wondering
4:37
why,
4:38
I
4:38
guess
4:38
it's
4:38
because
4:39
one
4:39
does
4:39
not
4:39
simply
4:40
walk
4:40
into
4:40
Mordor.
4:41
It
4:41
takes
4:42
time,
4:42
planning
4:43
a
4:43
team.
4:44
I
4:44
don't
4:44
have
4:44
a
4:45
team.
4:45
I
4:45
have
4:45
Evie
4:46
and
4:46
Peggy
4:46
on
4:46
hand,
4:46
Therp
4:47
cuddles
4:47
and
4:47
Purrs,
4:48
and
4:48
maybe
4:49
at
4:49
the
4:49
end
4:49
Gandalf
4:50
will
4:50
have
4:50
to
4:50
summon
4:50
the
4:50
eagles
4:51
for
4:51
a
4:51
quick
4:51
rescue.
4:52
Because
4:53
this
4:53
is
4:53
kind
4:53
of
4:53
unprecedented
4:54
what
4:54
I'm
4:54
doing
4:55
for
4:55
these
4:55
episodes.
4:56
This
4:56
episode
4:57
will
4:57
be
4:57
focusing
4:58
on
4:58
the
4:58
beginning
4:58
of
4:59
Peter
4:59
Jackson's
4:59
vision
5:00
for
5:00
the
5:00
series,
5:01
his
5:01
dealings
5:01
with
5:01
Miramax,
5:02
the
5:02
move
5:02
to
5:03
New
5:03
Line
5:03
Cinema,
5:04
the
5:04
various
5:04
changes
5:05
that
5:05
they
5:05
made
5:05
to
5:06
the
5:06
source
5:06
material,
5:07
and
5:07
specifics
5:08
on
5:08
the
5:08
Fellowship
5:08
of
5:09
the
5:09
Ring,
5:09
including
5:10
the
5:10
casting
5:10
choices
5:11
for
5:11
the
5:11
entire
5:11
series.
5:12
And
5:12
I
5:12
also
5:13
want
5:13
to
5:13
focus
5:13
in
5:14
this
5:14
episode
5:14
on
5:15
the
5:15
incredible
5:15
costume
5:16
design
5:16
for
5:16
the
5:17
series
5:17
as
5:17
well.
5:18
The
5:18
next
5:19
episode
5:19
will
5:20
be
5:20
focusing
5:20
on
5:20
the
5:20
Two
5:21
Towers,
5:21
the
5:21
Battle
5:22
of
5:22
Helm's
5:22
Deep,
5:23
and
5:23
the
5:23
introduction
5:24
of
5:24
and
5:25
technology
5:25
surrounding
5:26
Gollum,
5:27
as
5:27
well
5:27
as
5:27
I
5:28
also
5:28
want
5:28
to
5:28
go
5:28
into
5:28
the
5:28
production
5:29
and
5:29
art
5:29
design
5:29
choices
5:30
for
5:30
the
5:30
entire
5:31
series.
5:32
The
5:32
third
5:32
episode
5:33
and
5:33
the
5:34
300th
5:34
episode
5:34
of
5:34
this
5:35
podcast
5:35
will
5:35
be
5:36
focusing
5:36
on
5:37
the
5:37
Return
5:37
of
5:37
the
5:37
King,
5:38
but
5:38
also
5:38
the
5:38
visual
5:39
effects
5:39
by
5:39
Weta
5:40
Workshop,
5:40
the
5:41
music
5:41
across
5:42
all
5:42
of
5:42
the
5:42
movies
5:43
by
5:43
Howard
5:43
Shaw,
5:44
how
5:45
the
5:45
Return
5:45
of
5:45
the
5:45
King
5:46
became
5:46

5:49
as
5:50
well
5:50
as
5:50
the
5:50
everlasting
5:51
legacy
5:51
of
5:51
these
5:52
movies,
5:52
specifically
5:53
from
5:53
fan
5:54
culture
5:54
to
5:54
setting
5:55
a
5:55
precedent
5:55
that
5:55
Peter
5:56
Jackson's
5:56
Hobbit
5:57
trilogy
5:57
then
5:58
had
5:58
to
5:58
follow.
5:59
The
5:59
final
6:00
episode,
6:00
episode
6:01
301,
6:02
will

6:05

6:12

6:13
plus
6:13
also
6:14
the

the

6:16
to
6:16
the
6:16
Lord
6:16
of
6:16
the
6:16
Rings
6:17
and
6:17
also
6:17
the
6:18
future
6:18
of
6:18
the
6:18
franchise
6:19
as
6:19
well.
6:20
Now,
6:20
in
6:21
all
6:21
honesty,
6:22
as
6:22
I
6:22
said,
6:23
this
6:23
is
6:23
kind
6:23
of
6:23
unprecedented
6:24
how
6:24
I'm
6:24
tackling
6:25
these
6:25
three
6:25
movies,
6:26
because
6:26
these
6:27
three
6:27
movies
6:27
were
6:28
not
6:28
made
6:29
to
6:29
be
6:29
tackled
6:29
individually.
6:30
They
6:31
are
6:31
three
6:32
parts
6:32
of
6:32
a
6:33
complete
6:33
story
6:33
and
6:34
they
6:34
were
6:34
filmed
6:35
back
6:35
to
6:35
back.
6:36
So
6:36
a
6:36
lot
6:36
of
6:37
the
6:37
production
6:37
stories
6:38
and
6:38
the
6:38
stories
6:39
behind
6:39
the
6:39
scenes
6:40
actually
6:40
cover
6:40
all
6:41
three
6:41
movies.
6:42
So
6:42
I
6:42
don't
6:42
even
6:42
know
6:43
if
6:43
this
6:43
is
6:43
even
6:44
gonna
6:44
work
6:44
in
6:45
the
6:45
way
6:45
I
6:45
intend
6:45
it
6:45
to
6:46
work.
6:46
But
6:47
just
6:47
like
6:48
Peter
6:48
Jackson,
6:48
I'm
6:49
gonna
6:49
Do
6:49
it
6:49
anyway.
6:50
He
6:50
did
6:50
three
6:51
movies
6:51
shot
6:51
simultaneously
6:52
out
6:52
of
6:53
sequence.
6:53
But
6:53
I'm
6:54
gonna
6:54
do
6:54
three
6:54
episodes
6:55
recorded
6:55
in
6:55
sequence
6:56
but
6:57
containing
6:57
details
6:58
from
6:58
the
6:58
simultaneous
6:59
shoot.
7:00
So
7:00
these
7:00
episodes
7:00
will
7:01
tell
7:01
each
7:01
story
7:02
but
7:02
also
7:02
one
7:02
big
7:03
story
7:04
suitable
7:05
for
7:05
the
7:05
One
7:05
Ring.
7:06
I
7:06
do
7:07
feel
7:07
a
7:07
little
7:07
bit
7:07
like
7:08
Sauron's
7:08
eye
7:08
is
7:09
trained
7:09
on
7:09
me
7:10
and
7:10
this
7:10
does
7:10
feel
7:10
like
7:11
a
7:11
bit
7:11
of
7:11
a
7:11
quest
7:11
in
7:12
all
7:12
honesty.
7:12
But
7:13
I
7:13
am
7:13
going
7:13
to
7:13
reach
7:14
the
7:14
end
7:14
of
7:14
the
7:14
quest
7:15
and
7:15
hopefully
7:16
I've
7:17
not
7:17
bitten
7:17
off
7:17
more
7:18
second
7:18
breakfast
7:18
than
7:19
I
7:19
can
7:19
chew.
7:19
Here's
7:20
the
7:20
trailer
7:20
for
7:21
the
7:21
Lord
7:21
of
7:21
the
7:21
Rings.
7:22
The
7:22
Fellowship
7:22
of
7:22
the
7:23
Ring.
7:23
The
7:24
start
7:25
of
7:25
the
7:25
number
7:25
one
7:25
trilogy.
7:31
In
7:31
the
7:31
lands
7:32
of
7:32
Middle
7:32
Earth
7:33
legend
7:34
tells
7:34
of
7:34
the
7:34
dark
7:35
Lord
7:35
Sauron
7:36
and
7:37
the
7:37
ring
7:37
that
7:37
would
7:38
give
7:38
him
7:38
the
7:38
power
7:39
to
7:39
enslave
7:40
the
7:40
world
7:42
lost.
7:43
For
7:43
centuries
7:44
it
7:44
has
7:44
been
7:45
sought
7:45
by
7:45
many
7:47
and
7:47
has
7:47
now
7:48
found
7:48
its
7:48
way
7:49
into
7:49
the
7:49
helm
7:49
of
7:50
the
7:50
most
7:50
unlikely
7:51
person
7:51
imaginable.
7:56
Sauron
7:56
needs
7:57
only
7:57
this
7:57
ring
7:58
to
7:58
cover
7:58
all
7:58
the
7:58
lands
7:59
in
7:59
darkness.
8:01
What
8:01
must
8:01
I
8:02
do?
8:02
The
8:02
Ring
8:03
must
8:03
be
8:03
destroyed.
8:06
The
8:06
Ring
8:07
must
8:07
be
8:07
cast
8:07
back
8:08
into
8:08
the
8:08
fires
8:08
of
8:09
Mount
8:09
Doom.
8:10
There
8:11
is
8:11
evil
8:11
there
8:12
that
8:12
does
8:12
not
8:12
sleep.
8:13
Sauron's
8:14
forces
8:14
are
8:15
already
8:15
moving.
8:16
They
8:16
will
8:17
find
8:17
the
8:17
Ring
8:18
and
8:19
kill
8:19
the
8:19
one
8:19
who
8:20
carries
8:20
it.
8:21
Come
8:21
on,
8:22
Frodo.
8:25
I
8:25
cannot
8:26
do
8:26
this
8:26
alone.
8:30
You
8:30
have
8:30
my
8:31
sword.
8:31
And
8:31
you
8:31
have
8:32
my
8:32
bow
8:32
and
8:33
my
8:33
axe.
8:34
This
8:35
task
8:35
was
8:35
appointed
8:36
to
8:36
you.
8:36
And
8:37
if
8:37
you
8:37
do
8:37
not
8:38
find
8:38
a
8:38
way,
8:39
no
8:40
one
8:40
will.
8:44
The
8:45
enemy
8:45
has
8:45
many
8:45
spies.
8:47
Birds,
8:48
beasts.
8:49
Something
8:50
draws
8:50
near.
8:51
I
8:51
can
8:51
feel
8:52
it.
8:53
Get
8:53
off
8:53
the
8:54
road.
8:55
Hide.
8:56
Almost.
8:56
Remember,
8:57
Frodo.
8:57
The
8:57
Ring
8:58
is
8:58
trying
8:58
to
8:58
get
8:58
back
8:59
to
8:59
its
8:59
master.
9:00
It
9:00
wants
9:01
to
9:01
be
9:01
found.
9:02
Let
9:02
us
9:03
hope
9:03
that
9:03
our
9:03
presence
9:04
may
9:04
go
9:04
unnoticed.
9:16
They
9:16
are
9:17
coming.
9:25
We
9:26
must
9:26
turn
9:26
back.
9:31
Wish
9:31
the
9:32
ring
9:32
had
9:32
never
9:32
come
9:32
to
9:33
me.
9:33
Back,
9:33
you
9:33
devils.
9:34
I
9:35
wish
9:35
none
9:35
of
9:35
this
9:35
had
9:36
happened.
9:37
You
9:37
will
9:37
find
9:38
your
9:38
courage.
9:41
If
9:41
you
9:41
want
9:41
him,
9:42
come
9:42
and
9:43
claim
9:43
him.
9:56
You
9:57
shall
9:58
not
9:59
pass.
10:16
The
10:16
future
10:17
rests
10:17
in
10:17
the
10:18
fate
10:18
of
10:18
the
10:18
One
10:18
Ring
10:19
which
10:19
has
10:19
been
10:19
lost
10:19
for
10:20
centuries.
10:21
Powerful
10:21
forces
10:22
are
10:22
unrelenting
10:23
in
10:23
their
10:23
search
10:23
for
10:24
it
10:24
but
10:24
fate
10:25
has
10:25
placed
10:25
it
10:25
in
10:26
the
10:26
hands
10:26
of
10:26
a
10:26
young
10:26
hobbit
10:27
called
10:27
Frodo
10:28
Baggins
10:28
who
10:29
inherits
10:29
the
10:29
Ring
10:30
and
10:30
unwittingly
10:31
becomes
10:31
the
10:31
savior
10:32
of
10:32
Middle
10:32
Earth.
10:33
A
10:33
daunting
10:33
task
10:34
lies
10:34
ahead
10:34
for
10:34
Frodo
10:35
when
10:35
he
10:36
becomes
10:36
the
10:36
Ring
10:36
bearer.
10:37
To
10:37
destroy
10:38
the
10:38
One
10:38
Ring
10:39
in
10:39
the
10:39
fires
10:39
of
10:39
Mount
10:40
Doom
10:40
where
10:40
it
10:40
was
10:41
forged.
10:41
He's
10:42
joined
10:42
by
10:42
eight
10:43
companions
10:43
to
10:44
aid
10:44
him
10:44
in
10:44
his
10:44
quest.
10:45
They
10:46
are
10:46
the
10:46
Fellowship
10:47
of
10:47
the
10:47
Ring.
10:48
Let's
10:49
run
10:49
through
10:49
the
10:49
cast
10:50
of
10:50
this
10:51
movie

forward

11:41
directed
11:42
by
11:42
Peter
11:43
Jackson
11:43
and
11:44
was
11:44
based

on
11:44
the

Fellowship
11:45
of
11:45
The
11:45
Ring
11:46
by
11:46
J.R.R.
11:47
tolkien.
11:48
And
11:48
the
11:49
story
11:49
of
11:49
the
11:49
Lord
11:49
of
11:50
the
11:50
Rings
11:50
starts
11:51
as
11:51
all
11:51
good
11:51
stories
11:52
should,
11:52
with
11:53
Michael
11:53
J.
11:53
Fox.
11:55
Sort
11:55
of,
11:55
but
11:56
not
11:56
really.
11:57
But
11:57
before
11:57
Peter
11:58
Jackson
11:58
was
11:59
the
11:59
Peter
11:59
Jackson
12:00
of

the
12:00
Lord
12:00
of

the

Rings
12:01
trilogy,
12:01
he
12:01
was
12:02
Peter
12:02
Jackson.
12:03
Risky
12:03
weird
12:04
horror
12:04
director,
12:05
but
12:05
one
12:05
of
12:06
his
12:06
most
12:06
underrated
12:07
movies
12:07
actually
12:07
came
12:08
about
12:08
in
12:08
1996
12:09
and
12:09
I've
12:09
done
12:10
an
12:10
episode
12:10
on
12:10
it
12:10
too.
12:11
It
12:11
is
12:11
a
12:11
wonderful
12:11
movie.
12:12
It's
12:12
episode
12:13
103
12:13
of
12:13
this
12:14
podcast
12:14
that
12:15
movie
12:15
stars
12:15
Michael
12:16
J.
12:16
Fox
12:16
and
12:16
it
12:17
is
12:17
the
12:17
Frighteners.
12:19
How
12:19
does
12:19
the
12:19
Frighteners
12:20
have
12:20
anything
12:20
to
12:21
do
12:21
with
12:21
the
12:21
Lord
12:21
of
12:21
the
12:21
Rings?
12:22
Well,
12:22
apart
12:23
from
12:23
a
12:23
couple
12:23
of
12:23
scary
12:24
scenes,
12:24
not
12:24
much.
12:25
But
12:25
it's
12:25
really
12:26
a
12:26
story
12:26
of
12:26
what's
12:27
going
12:27
on
12:27
behind
12:28
the
12:28
scenes
12:28
of
12:28
the
12:29
Frighteners.
12:29
That's
12:30
important
12:30
because
12:31
pretty
12:31
much
12:31
everything
12:32
in
12:32
the
12:32
Frighteners
12:33
is
12:33
a
12:33
precursor
12:34
to
12:34
what
12:34
Peter
12:34
Jackson
12:35
would
12:35
do
12:35
next.
12:36
Everything
12:37
from
12:37
the
12:37
balance
12:38
between
12:38
practical
12:38
effects
12:39
and
12:39
CGI
12:40
to
12:40
the
12:40
New
12:40
Zealand
12:41
based
12:41
production
12:42
and
12:42
the
12:42
fact
12:43
that
12:43
Universal
12:43
offered
12:44
Peter
12:44
Jackson
12:44
the
12:44
opportunity
12:45
to
12:45
make
12:45
King
12:45
Kong
12:46
led
12:47
to
12:47
the
12:47
Lord
12:47
of
12:47
the
12:48
Rings
12:48
trilogy.
12:49
Spoiler.
12:50
He
12:50
didn't
12:50
make
12:50
King
12:50
Kong
12:51
next
12:51
after
12:51
all,
12:52
but
12:52
he
12:52
would
12:52
go
12:53
on
12:53
to
12:53
make
12:53
King
12:54
Kong
12:54
after
12:55
these
12:55
movies.
12:56
The
12:56
creation
12:57
of
12:57
Weta
12:58
Digital
12:58
for
12:58
Jackson's
12:59
movie
12:59
Heavenly
13:00
Creatures
13:00
would
13:01
be
13:01
pivotal
13:01
to
13:01
the
13:02
story
13:02
too.
13:03
After
13:03
the
13:03
Frighteners,
13:04
Peter
13:04
Jackson
13:04
and
13:04
his
13:05
partner
13:05
Fran
13:05
Walsh
13:06
wanted
13:06
to
13:06
do
13:07
something
13:07
high
13:07
fantasy
13:08
and
13:08
original.
13:09
Original
13:10
being
13:10
the
13:10
operative
13:11
word.
13:12
But
13:12
everything
13:12
they
13:12
thought
13:13
of
13:13
sounded
13:13
very
13:14
Tolkien.
13:14
And
13:14
Jackson
13:15
wondered
13:15
why
13:16
Hollywood
13:16
just
13:16
didn't
13:17
want
13:17
to
13:17
seem
13:17
to
13:18
touch
13:18
the
13:18
Lord
13:18
of
13:18
the
13:19
rings
13:19
since
13:20
Ralph
13:20
Bakshi's
13:21
version
13:21
in
13:21
1978,
13:22
which,
13:23
as
13:23
I
13:23
mentioned
13:24
last
13:24
episode,
13:25
Jackson
13:25
saw
13:26
as
13:26
a
13:26
child
13:26
and
13:27
it
13:27
made
13:27
him
13:27
curious
13:28
to
13:28
read
13:28
the
13:28
books
13:28
and
13:29
find
13:29
out
13:29
more.
13:30
Even
13:31
with
13:31
Bakshi's
13:32
ambitious
13:32
attempt
13:32
at
13:32
a
13:33
rotoscoped
13:33
Version
13:34
no
13:34
one
13:34
in
13:35
Hollywood
13:35
seemed
13:35
to
13:35
want
13:36
to
13:36
talk
13:36
about
13:36
the
13:36
idea
13:37
of
13:37
making
13:37
it
13:37
fully
13:38
live
13:38
action.
13:39
It
13:39
seemed
13:40
to
13:40
be
13:40
outside
13:40
of
13:41
the
13:41
realm
13:41
of
13:41
possibility
13:42
and
13:43
also
13:43
expense.
13:44
As
13:45
CGI
13:45
technology
13:45
began
13:46
developing
13:46
in
13:46
the
13:46
late
13:47
1980s
13:47
and
13:48
early
13:48
1990s,
13:49
there
13:49
were
13:50
renewed
13:50
considerations
13:51
about
13:51
whether
13:52
a
13:52
live
13:52
action
13:52
adaptation
13:54
might
13:54
finally
13:54
be
13:55
feasible.
13:56
However,
13:56
the
13:56
technology
13:57
was
13:57
still
13:57
deemed
13:57
insufficient
13:58
or
13:58
too
13:59
expensive
13:59
for
14:00
the
14:00
massive
14:00
scale
14:01
required.
14:02
Jackson
14:03
also
14:03
is
14:04
seemingly
14:04
an
14:04
unlikely
14:05
choice
14:05
for
14:05
this
14:06
long
14:06
awaited
14:06
adaptation.
14:07
He
14:08
was
14:08
primarily
14:08
known
14:09
as
14:09
a
14:09
low
14:09
budget,
14:10
visceral
14:11
horror
14:11
comedy
14:12
director
14:12
and
14:13
he
14:13
wanted
14:13
to
14:13
take
14:14
on
14:14
a
14:14
movie
14:14
deemed
14:15
unfilmable,
14:16
especially
14:17
in
14:17
live
14:18
action.
14:18
Question
14:19
mark
14:20
Jackson
14:21
was
14:21
contracted
14:21
to
14:22
Miramax
14:22
Films
14:22
at
14:23
the
14:23
time,
14:23
but
14:23
via
14:23
the
14:24
go
14:24
to
14:24
Miramax,
14:25
Jackson's
14:26
agent
14:26
tracked
14:26
down
14:27
the
14:27
Tolkien
14:27
film
14:28
rights
14:28
to
14:28
Saul
14:29
Zaintz.
14:30
And
14:30
it
14:30
turned
14:30
out
14:31
that
14:31
Zainz
14:31
owed
14:32
Harvey
14:32
Weinstein
14:33
a
14:33
favorite
14:34
and
14:34
it
14:34
was
14:34
all
14:34
down
14:35
to
14:35
the
14:35
English
14:35
patient.
14:37
20th
14:37
Century
14:38
Fox
14:38
had
14:38
originally
14:39
agreed
14:39
to
14:39
finance
14:40
the
14:40
English
14:40
Patient
14:40
with
14:41
Jeremy
14:41
Irons
14:41
and
14:42
Juliet
14:42
Binoche,
14:43
but
14:43
withdrew
14:44
that
14:44
financing
14:45
when
14:45
director
14:45
Anthony
14:45
Minguela
14:46
insisted
14:47
on
14:47
casting
14:47
Ralph
14:48
Fiennes
14:48
instead.
14:49
This
14:49
left
14:50
Sainz
14:50
in
14:50
a
14:50
difficult
14:51
financial
14:51
position.
14:52
Halfway
14:53
through
14:53
filming
14:53
in
14:53
Italy
14:54
and
14:54
North
14:54
Africa,
14:55
they
14:55
ran
14:55
out
14:55
of
14:56
money.
14:56
This
14:57
is
14:57
when
14:57
Weinstein
14:58
and
14:58
Miramax
14:58
entered
14:59
the
14:59
picture,
14:59
providing
15:00
approximately
15:00
$6
15:01
million
15:02
to
15:02
complete
15:02
the
15:03
English
15:03
Patient.
15:04
In
15:04
exchange,
15:05
Miramax
15:05
acquired
15:06
the
15:06
North
15:06
American
15:06
distribution
15:07
rights.
15:08
The
15:08
English
15:09
Patient
15:09
went
15:09
on
15:10
to
15:10
become
15:10
a
15:10
critical
15:11
and
15:11
commercial
15:11
success,
15:12
winning
15:13
nine
15:13
Academy
15:13
Awards,
15:14
including
15:14
Best
15:14
Picture
15:15
in
15:15
1997.
15:17
The
15:17
film
15:17
ultimately
15:18
grossed
15:18
over
15:18
$230
15:19
million
15:20
worldwide
15:20
against
15:21
its
15:19
$27
15:22
million
15:23
budget
15:23
and
15:24
Saul
15:24
Zainz
15:25
was
15:25
then
15:25
indebted
15:26
to
15:26
Harvey
15:27
Weinstein.
15:28
So
15:28
when
15:28
Jackson
15:29
went
15:29
to
15:29
Weinstein
15:30
inquiring
15:31
about
15:31
the
15:31
rights
15:31
to
15:31
the
15:31
Lord
15:32
of
15:32
the
15:32
Rings,
15:32
Weinstein
15:33
went
15:33
to
15:34
Saints
15:34
and
15:34
optioned
15:35
the
15:35
rights
15:35
to
15:35
Tolkien's
15:36
work,
15:36
with
15:37
Jackson
15:37
pitching
15:38
one
15:38
film
15:38
based
15:39
on
15:39
the
15:39
Hobbit
15:40
and
15:40
a
15:40
two
15:40
part
15:41
adaptation
15:41
of
15:41
the
15:41
Lord
15:42
of
15:42
the
15:42
Rings
15:43
shot
15:43
back
15:43
to
15:43
back,
15:44
released
15:44
six
15:45
months
15:45
apart,
15:46
it
15:47
was
15:47
an
15:47
unprecedented
15:48
level
15:48
of
15:48
ambition.
15:49
And
15:49
this
15:49
was
15:50
in
15:50
the
15:50
mid-90s,
15:51
years
15:51
before
15:52
anything
15:52
concrete,
15:53
just
15:53
preliminary
15:54
talks.
15:54
But
15:55
Saul
15:55
Zaynt
15:55
was
15:56
impressed
15:56
with
15:56
Jackson's
15:57
passion
15:57
and
15:58
like
15:58
Ralph
15:58
Bakshi
15:59
before
15:59
him,
16:00
Jackson
16:00
was
16:00
all
16:00
about
16:01
keeping
16:01
it
16:01
true
16:01
to
16:02
Tolkien's
16:02
vision.
16:04
While
16:04
the
16:04
distribution
16:05
rights
16:05
of
16:05
the
16:05
Hobbit
16:06
remained
16:06
with
16:06
United
16:07
Artists,
16:07
Sainz
16:08
agreed
16:08
to
16:09
license
16:09
the
16:09
rights
16:09
to
16:10
the
16:10
Lord
16:10
of
16:10
the
16:10
Rings
16:11
eventually.
16:12
It
16:13
took
16:13
a
16:13
while,
16:14
basically
16:14
a
16:14
year
16:14
of
16:15
negotiations
16:15
between
16:16
Saints
16:16
and
16:16
the
16:16
Weinsteins.
16:18
It
16:18
took
16:18
for
16:18
Jackson
16:19
to
16:19
agree
16:19
to
16:20
make
16:20
King
16:20
Kong
16:20
with
16:21
Universal,
16:22
only
16:22
for
16:22
them
16:22
to
16:22
then
16:23
cancel
16:23
King
16:24
Kong
16:24
in
16:24
1997.
16:25
It
16:26
was
16:26
after
16:26
the
16:26
sudden
16:27
cancellation
16:27
by
16:27
Universal.
16:28
That
16:28
pushed
16:29
Jackson
16:29
and
16:29
Walsh
16:30
into
16:30
beginning
16:30
the
16:30
process
16:31
of
16:31
sorting
16:31
out
16:32
the
16:32
rights
16:32
with
16:32
Weinstein,
16:33
which
16:34
then
16:34
took
16:34
a
16:34
further
16:35
six
16:35
weeks.
16:36
Miramax
16:37
rejected
16:37
the
16:37
idea
16:37
of
16:38
three
16:38
films,
16:39
but
16:39
acquiesced
16:39
to
16:39
the
16:40
idea
16:40
of
16:40
two
16:41
when
16:41
they
16:41
realized
16:42
that
16:42
doing
16:42
it
16:42
in
16:42
one
16:43
would
16:43
be
16:43
unmanageable.
16:44
A
16:44
screening
16:45
of
16:45
Bakshi's
16:46
version
16:46
at
16:46
a
16:46
story
16:46
conference
16:47
put
16:47
this
16:47
into
16:48
perspective.
16:49
No
16:49
one
16:49
wanted
16:50
to
16:50
be
16:50
getting
16:50
to
16:50
the
16:50
Battle
16:51
of
16:51
Helm's
16:51
Deep
16:52
and
16:52
then
16:52
stopping
16:53
the
16:53
story
16:53
again.
16:54
Jax's
16:55
initial
16:55
idea
16:56
was
16:56
for
16:56
two
16:56
films.
16:57
The
16:57
first
16:58
would
16:58
be
16:58
called
16:58
the
16:58
Fellowship
16:59
of
16:59
the
16:59
Ring,
17:00
which
17:00
would
17:00
cover
17:00
the
17:01
novel
17:01
of
17:01
that
17:01
name
17:02
and
17:02
the
17:02
Two
17:02
Towers.
17:03
And
17:03
then
17:04
the
17:04
sequel
17:04
would
17:05
be
17:05
the
17:05
War
17:05
of
17:05
the
17:06
Ring,
17:06
which
17:06
would
17:06
cover
17:07
the
17:07
Return
17:07
of
17:07
the
17:07
King.
17:08
The
17:09
first
17:09
film
17:09
would
17:09
have
17:09
ended
17:10
with
17:10
Saruman's
17:10
death
17:11
and
17:11
the
17:11
second
17:12
would
17:12
start
17:12
with
17:12
the
17:12
Battle
17:13
at
17:13
Minas
17:13
Tirith.
17:14
The
17:15
Weinsteins
17:15
agreed
17:15
on
17:16
two
17:16
films
17:16
and
17:17
a
17:17
budget
17:17
of
17:17
$75
17:18
million
17:19
total,
17:20
which
17:20
seems
17:21
pretty
17:21
ludicrous
17:21
for
17:21
what
17:22
they
17:22
were
17:22
trying
17:22
to
17:22
achieve.
17:23
But
17:23
financial
17:24
issues
17:24
will
17:24
be
17:25
forthcoming
17:26
at
17:26
this
17:26
point.
17:27
The
17:27
Weinsteins
17:27
are
17:28
keen
17:28
to
17:28
Americanize
17:29
the
17:29
cast.
17:29
But
17:30
Harvey
17:30
Weinstein,
17:31
being
17:31
the
17:31
absolute
17:32
worst
17:32
that
17:32
he
17:33
is
17:33
and
17:33
always
17:34
will
17:34
be
17:34
and
17:35
was
17:35
at
17:35
this
17:35
point
17:36
was
17:36
already
17:36
blacklisting
17:37
actresses
17:38
who
17:38
refused
17:39
to
17:39
sleep
17:39
with
17:39
him.
17:40
So
17:40
while
17:40
Jackson
17:41
was
17:41
interested
17:41
in
17:42
casting
17:42
Mira
17:43
Salvino
17:43
and
17:43
Ashley
17:44
Judd,
17:45
Weinstein
17:45
dissuaded
17:46
him
17:46
from
17:46
considering
17:47
them.
17:47
No
17:48
one
17:48
knew
17:48
at
17:48
the
17:48
time
17:49
both
17:49
Silvino
17:50
and
17:50
Judd
17:50
had
17:51
been
17:51
sexually
17:51
harassed
17:52
by
17:52
Weinstein.
17:53
And
17:53
of
17:53
course
17:53
it
17:53
would
17:53
take
17:54
decades
17:54
for
17:54
that
17:54
revelation
17:55
and
17:55
the
17:56
myriad
17:56
of
17:57
others
17:57
to
17:57
come
17:57
to
17:57
light.
17:58
Writing
17:59
the
17:59
scripts
18:00
and
18:00
condensing
18:00
Tolkien's
18:01
extensive
18:01
story
18:02
into
18:02
two
18:02
films
18:03
would
18:03
be
18:03
a
18:03
task.
18:04
And
18:04
in
18:05
mid-1997,
18:06
Jackson
18:06
and
18:07
Walsh
18:07
began
18:07
writing
18:08
with
18:08
Stephen
18:08
Sinclair.
18:09
And
18:09
Sinclair's
18:10
partner,
18:10
Philippa
18:11
Boyens
18:11
joined
18:12
them
18:12
to
18:12
write
18:12
two
18:13
scripts
18:13
in
18:13
14
18:14
months
18:15
of
18:15
147
18:15
and
18:15
144
18:17
pages
18:17
respectively.
18:18
At
18:19
the
18:19
same
18:19
time,
18:20
Weta
18:20
Digital
18:20
were
18:21
working
18:21
on
18:21
developing
18:22
new
18:22
proprietary
18:22
software
18:23
and
18:23
conceptually
18:24
designed
18:24
the
18:25
films,
18:25
including
18:26
buying
18:26
designs
18:27
from
18:27
Rav
18:27
Bakshi.
18:28
Jackson
18:29
and
18:29
Miramax
18:30
agreed
18:30
to
18:31
a
18:31
110
18:32
day
18:32
filming
18:32
schedule.
18:33
Jackson
18:34
had
18:34
already
18:34
built
18:35
film
18:35
facilities
18:35
in
18:36
Wellington
18:36
through
18:36
his
18:37
company,
18:37
Weta
18:37
Workshop.
18:38
This
18:39
gave
18:39
them
18:39
a
18:39
base
18:39
of
18:39
operations
18:40
with
18:40
existing
18:41
technical
18:41
capabilities
18:42
for
18:42
a
18:42
shoot
18:43
beginning
18:43
in
18:43
April
18:44
1999
18:45
for
18:45
a
18:45
Christmas
18:46
2000
18:47
and
18:47
Memorial
18:48
Day
18:48
2001
18:49
release.
18:50
But
18:50
the
18:50
budget
18:51
was
18:51
beginning
18:51
to
18:52
worry
18:52
Miramax,
18:53
who
18:53
asked
18:53
for
18:54
cost
18:54
cutting
18:54
rewrites.
18:55
They
18:56
sent
18:56
producers
18:56
to
18:57
New
18:57
Zealand
18:57
to
18:57
oversee
18:58
the
18:58
work.
18:59
One
18:59
of
18:59
them,
19:00
Marty
19:00
Katz,
19:01
reported
19:01
back
19:01
that
19:02
the
19:02
movies
19:02
would
19:02
cost
19:03
Double
19:03
that
19:04
initial
19:04
$75
19:05
million.
19:06
Budget,
19:06
and
19:06
Miramax
19:07
just
19:08
didn't
19:08
have
19:08
the
19:08
funds
19:09
for
19:09
that.
19:10
So
19:10
Miramax
19:10
went
19:11
to
19:11
Disney
19:11
chairman
19:11
Joe
19:12
Roth
19:12
and
19:12
CEO
19:13
Michael
19:13
Eisner
19:14
to
19:14
light
19:14
the
19:15
beacons
19:15
and
19:15
request
19:16
budgetary
19:17
aid
19:17
for
19:17
the
19:17
Lord
19:17
of
19:18
the
19:18
Rings.
19:18
Eisner
19:19
himself
19:20
had
19:20
recently
19:20
demanded
19:21
Disney
19:21
cut
19:21
its
19:22
own
19:22
costs,
19:22
and
19:23
so
19:23
the
19:23
parent
19:23
company
19:24
declined
19:24
to
19:24
help.
19:25
Eisner
19:26
would
19:26
say
19:26
it
19:26
was
19:26
due
19:27
to
19:27
Weinstein
19:27
refusing
19:28
to
19:28
allow
19:28
him
19:28
to
19:29
review
19:29
the
19:29
project
19:29
or
19:30
meet
19:30
with
19:30
Jackson.
19:31
Fran
19:31
Walsh
19:32
would
19:32
suggest
19:33
it
19:33
was
19:33
due
19:33
to
19:33
a
19:33
lack
19:34
of
19:34
faith
19:34
in
19:34
the
19:34
project,
19:35
specifically
19:36
in
19:36
Peter
19:36
Jackson's
19:37
ability
19:38
to
19:38
make
19:38
something
19:38
that
19:38
was
19:39
a
19:39
bit
19:39
more
19:39
family
19:39
friendly
19:40
than
19:40
his
19:40
previous
19:41
films.
19:42
After
19:42
unsuccessfully
19:43
trying
19:43
to
19:44
get
19:44
other
19:44
studios
19:44
on
19:45
board
19:45
to
19:45
partner
19:45
with
19:46
them,
19:46
Miramax
19:47
instead
19:47
suggested
19:48
making
19:48
just
19:48
one
19:49
movie
19:49
and
19:50
commissioned
19:51
Jack
19:51
Leckner
19:51
to
19:52
condense
19:52
the
19:52
story
19:53
from
19:53
two
19:53
films
19:53
to
19:54
one.
19:54
He
19:55
suggested
19:55
cutting
19:55
Bree
19:56
in
19:56
the
19:56
Battle
19:56
of
19:56
Helm's
19:57
Deep,
19:58
losing
19:58
or
19:58
using
19:59
Saruman,
20:00
merging
20:00
Rohan
20:01
and
20:01
Gondor,
20:02
and
20:02
making
20:02
Eowyn,
20:03
Boromir's
20:04
sister,
20:05
shortening
20:05
Rivendell
20:06
and
20:06
Moria,
20:07
losing
20:07
the
20:07
Balrog
20:08
and
20:08
the
20:08
fight
20:08
in
20:08
Balin's
20:09
Tomb
20:09
in
20:09
the
20:09
process,
20:10
as
20:10
well
20:11
as
20:11
having
20:11
Ents
20:12
prevent
20:12
the
20:12
Uruk
20:13
Hai
20:13
from
20:13
kidnapping
20:14
Merry
20:14
and
20:14
Pippin.
20:16
It
20:16
was
20:16
essentially
20:17
an
20:17
ultimatum
20:18
from
20:18
Harvey
20:19
Weinstein.
20:20
Jackson
20:20
could
20:20
either
20:21
condense
20:21
all
20:21
three
20:22
books
20:22
into
20:22
a
20:22
single
20:23
two
20:23
hour
20:23
film,
20:24
make
20:25
two
20:25
films
20:25
with
20:26
a
20:26
drastically
20:26
reduced
20:27
budget,
20:28
or
20:28
abandoned
20:28
the
20:29
project
20:29
entirely.
20:30
Jackson
20:31
refused
20:31
to
20:31
compromise
20:32
on
20:32
what
20:32
he
20:32
felt
20:33
would
20:33
destroy
20:33
the
20:34
integrity
20:34
of
20:34
Tolkien's
20:35
work,
20:36
in
20:36
particular
20:36
the
20:37
suggestion
20:37
to
20:37
combine
20:38
everything
20:38
into
20:38
one
20:38
film
20:39
that
20:39
would
20:39
have
20:40
required
20:40
cutting
20:41
major
20:41
storylines
20:41
and
20:42
characters.
20:43
Miramax
20:44
then
20:44
declared
20:44
that
20:44
everything
20:45
Weta
20:45
had
20:46
done
20:46
thus
20:46
far
20:46
and
20:47
also
20:47
the
20:47
scripts,
20:48
belonged
20:48
to
20:49
them.
20:49
Weinstein
20:50
gave
20:50
Jackson
20:51
about
20:51
four
20:51
weeks
20:52
to
20:52
find
20:52
another
20:53
studio
20:53
willing
20:53
to
20:53
take
20:54
on
20:54
the
20:54
project.
20:55
If
20:55
unsuccessful,
20:56
Miramax
20:57
would
20:57
proceed
20:57
with
20:57
their
20:58
condensed
20:58
version
20:59
with
20:59
another
20:59
director
21:00
to
21:00
be
21:00
written
21:01
by
21:01
Hussein
21:01
Amini,
21:02
who
21:02
was
21:02
a
21:02
fan
21:03
of
21:03
the
21:03
work
21:03
they'd
21:03
already
21:04
done
21:04
up
21:04
to
21:04
this
21:05
point.
21:05
Weinstein
21:06
used
21:07
his
21:07
typical
21:07
bullying
21:08
tactics
21:08
to
21:09
try
21:09
to
21:09
get
21:09
Jackson
21:09
to
21:10
agree
21:10
to
21:10
his
21:10
requests,
21:11
including
21:12
trying
21:12
to
21:12
call
21:12
Jackson's
21:13
bluff
21:14
that
21:14
Quentin
21:14
Tarantino
21:15
was
21:15
going
21:15
to
21:16
direct.
21:17
Miramax
21:18
agreed
21:18
to
21:18
put
21:18
the
21:18
films
21:19
in
21:19
turnaround
21:19
for
21:19
that
21:20
four
21:20
week
21:20
period
21:21
only.
21:21
And
21:21
if
21:22
Jackson
21:22
couldn't
21:22
find
21:23
another
21:23
studio
21:24
willing
21:24
to
21:24
make
21:24
his
21:24
movies,
21:25
they
21:26
would
21:26
make
21:26
them,
21:27
but
21:27
without
21:27
the
21:27
scripts
21:28
or
21:28
Weta's
21:28
work,
21:29
after
21:29
being
21:29
told
21:30
legally
21:30
they
21:30
didn't
21:31
have
21:31
ownership
21:31
of
21:32
either.
21:32
They
21:33
also
21:33
demanded
21:33
that
21:33
if
21:34
he
21:34
did
21:34
find
21:34
another
21:35
studio,
21:35
that
21:36
that
21:36
new
21:36
studio
21:37
would
21:37
have
21:37
to
21:37
repay
21:38
Remax's
21:38
investment
21:39
plus
21:40
agree
21:40
to
21:40
give
21:40
them
21:41
5%
21:41
of
21:42
the
21:42
revenue.
21:43
Jackson
21:44
and
21:44
his
21:44
manager
21:45
Kent
21:45
Cannings,
21:46
began
21:46
Frantically
21:46
pitching
21:47
to
21:47
other
21:47
studios
21:48
with
21:48
a

21:51
the
21:51
work
21:52
they've
21:52
done
21:52
so
21:52
far.
21:53
Sony
21:54

disliking

the

the

the

22:02

22:03
interested,
22:04
but
22:04
were
22:04
being
22:04
bought
22:04
by
22:05
Universal
22:05
at
22:05
the
22:06
time.
22:06
When
22:07
Jackson
22:07
and
22:07
C
22:08
approached
22:08
New
22:09
Line
22:09
Cinema,
22:09
where
22:09
Jackson's
22:10
friend
22:10
Mark
22:11
Ordesky
22:11
worked,
22:12
something
22:13
unexpected
22:14
happened.
22:15
New
22:16
Line
22:16
Cinema
22:16
were
22:17
known
22:17
as
22:17
the
22:17
House
22:18
that
22:18
Freddie
22:18
Built.
22:19
They
22:19
were
22:19
known
22:19
primarily
22:20
as
22:20
a
22:20
horror
22:21
franchise
22:21
studio
22:22
with
22:22
A
22:22
Nightmare
22:23
on
22:23
Elm
22:23
street
22:23
and
22:23
Texas
22:24
Chainsaw
22:24
Massacre
22:25
both
22:25
being
22:25
successful.
22:26
In
22:27
1994,
22:28
Teenage
22:28
Mutant
22:29
Ninja
22:29
Turtles
22:29
became
22:30
the
22:30
highest
22:30
grossing
22:31
independent
22:31
film
22:32
of
22:32
all
22:32
time.
22:33
While
22:33
the
22:34
company
22:34
had
22:34
sustained
22:35
some
22:35
losses
22:35
in
22:35
the
22:36
late
22:36
90s,
22:37
CEO
22:37
Robert
22:38
Shea
22:38
knew
22:38
the
22:39
company
22:39
needed
22:39
a
22:39
new
22:40
lucrative
22:40
franchise,
22:41
and
22:41
he'd
22:42
heard
22:42
about
22:42
Miramax
22:43
acquiring
22:43
the
22:44
rights
22:44
to
22:44
the
22:44
Lord
22:45
of
22:45
the
22:45
Rings.
22:46
When
22:46
Mark
22:46
or
22:46
Deschi
22:47
approached
22:47
him
22:47
to
22:48
suggest
22:48
they
22:48
get
22:48
involved,
22:49
Shea
22:50
initially
22:50
refused
22:51
because
22:51
of
22:51
the
22:51
Weinstein's
22:52
demands.
22:53
But
22:54
he
22:54
met
22:54
with
22:54
Jackson.
22:55
Now
22:55
Bob
22:56
Shea
22:56
intuitively
22:57
understood
22:57
that
22:58
Tolkien's
22:58
three
22:59
book
22:59
structure
22:59
provided
23:00
a
23:00
natural
23:01
framework
23:01
for
23:02
three
23:02
films
23:02
rather
23:03
than
23:03
two.
23:03
Or
23:03
indeed
23:04
one.
23:04
And
23:05
this
23:05
was
23:05
something
23:05
Jackson
23:06
immediately
23:06
liked.
23:07
The
23:07
Sound
23:07
of
23:08
Moonlight
23:08
insisted
23:09
on
23:09
three
23:10
films
23:10
rather
23:11
than
23:11
two.
23:12
Shea
23:13
also
23:13
recognized
23:14
the
23:14
potential
23:14
for
23:14
a
23:14
major
23:15
franchise
23:16
at
23:16
a
23:16
time
23:16
when
23:16
studios
23:17
were
23:17
increasingly
23:18
focusing
23:18
on
23:18
tentpole
23:19
properties.
23:20
Three
23:21
successful
23:21
films
23:21
would
23:22
generate
23:22
far
23:23
more
23:23
revenue
23:23
than
23:24
one
23:24
or
23:24
two.
23:25
While
23:25
the
23:25
upfront
23:26
investment
23:26
would
23:26
be
23:26
enormous,
23:27
around
23:27
$300
23:28
million
23:28
for
23:29
all
23:29
three
23:29
films,
23:30
shooting
23:30
them
23:31
simultaneously
23:31
created
23:32
significant
23:33
production
23:33
efficiencies
23:34
compared
23:34
to
23:34
making
23:35
them
23:35
separately.
23:36
By
23:36
producing
23:37
three
23:37
films
23:37
at
23:37
once,
23:38
they
23:38
could
23:38
spread
23:38
marketing
23:39
costs
23:39
and
23:40
build
23:40
audience
23:41
momentum
23:41
across
23:41
multiple
23:42
releases
23:43
rather
23:43
than
23:43
betting
23:44
everything
23:44
on
23:45
a
23:45
single
23:45
film.
23:46
Most
23:46
importantly
23:47
to
23:47
Bob
23:47
Shea,
23:48
as
23:48
a
23:49
smaller
23:49
studio
23:49
operating
23:50
under
23:50
the
23:50
Time
23:51
Warner
23:51
umbrella,
23:52
they
23:52
needed
23:52
a
23:52
breakthrough
23:53
project
23:53
to
23:53
compete
23:54
with
23:54
larger
23:55
studios.
23:56
There
23:56
was
23:56
nothing
23:56
bigger
23:57
or
23:57
more
23:58
ambitious
23:58
than
23:59
the
23:59
Lord
23:59
of
23:59
the
23:59
Rings.
24:00
It
24:00
was
24:01
a
24:01
risk,
24:01
but
24:02
unlike
24:02
back
24:02
in
24:02
the
24:03
70s,
24:03
they
24:04
had
24:04
the
24:04
technology.
24:05
Wetter
24:06
Digital
24:06
was
24:06
at
24:06
the
24:07
forefront
24:07
of
24:08
motion
24:08
capture
24:08
and
24:09
cg,
24:09
and
24:10
filming
24:10
in
24:10
New
24:10
Zealand
24:11
offered
24:11
remarkable
24:12
geographical
24:13
diversity
24:13
within
24:14
a
24:14
relatively
24:14
small
24:15
area.
24:16
Within
24:16
short
24:17
distances,
24:18
they
24:18
could
24:18
access
24:19
mountains,
24:19
forests,
24:20
volcanic
24:21
regions,
24:21
rolling
24:22
hills
24:22
and
24:22
plains
24:23
that
24:23
closely
24:24
matched
24:24
Tolkien's
24:24
descriptions
24:25
of
24:25
Middle
24:25
Earth.
24:26
Not
24:26
to
24:27
mention
24:27
the
24:27
New
24:27
Zealand
24:28
government
24:28
providing
24:29
significant
24:29
tax
24:30
breaks
24:30
and
24:31
financial
24:31
incentives
24:32
to
24:32
attract
24:32
the
24:32
massive
24:33
production.
24:34
Jackson,
24:35
Walsh
24:35
and
24:35
Boyen
24:36
set
24:36
about
24:36
writing
24:37
three
24:37
new
24:37
scripts,
24:38
consulted
24:38
Tolkien's
24:39
biography,
24:40
letters
24:40
and
24:41
scholarly
24:41
books
24:41
written
24:42
on
24:42
his
24:42
works.
24:43
The
24:43
expansion
24:44
to
24:44
three
24:44
films
24:44
allowed
24:45
much
24:45
more
24:45
creative
24:46
freedom.
24:46
And
24:47
while
24:47
the
24:47
three
24:47
films
24:47
don't
24:48
correspond
24:48
exactly
24:49
to
24:49
the
24:49
trilogy's
24:50
Three
24:50
volumes.
24:51
They
24:51
represent
24:52
a
24:52
three
24:52
part
24:53
adaptation
24:53
which
24:54
is
24:54
a
24:54
more
24:54
chronological
24:55
approach
24:55
to
24:56
the
24:56
story.
24:57
Frodo's
24:58
quest
24:58
becomes
24:58
the
24:58
main
24:59
focus
24:59
with
25:00
Aragorn
25:00
as
25:00
the
25:01
main
25:01
subplot,
25:01
and
25:02
he
25:02
would
25:02
be
25:02
transformed
25:03
from
25:03
confident
25:04
king
25:04
in
25:04
Waiting
25:05
in
25:05
the
25:05
books
25:05
to
25:06
a
25:06
more
25:06
reluctant
25:07
hero
25:07
in
25:07
the
25:08
films.
25:08
There
25:08
were
25:09
structural
25:09
changes,
25:10
character
25:10
alterations,
25:11
significant
25:12
omissions,
25:13
added
25:13
elements
25:13
and
25:14
tonal
25:14
shifts.
25:15
Notable
25:15
differences
25:16
included
25:16
the
25:17
timelines
25:17
being
25:18
compressed
25:18
from
25:19
17
25:19
years
25:19
in
25:19
the
25:20
books
25:20
to
25:20
a
25:20
matter
25:20
of
25:21
months
25:21
in
25:21
the
25:21
films.
25:22
Certain
25:23
chapters
25:23
and
25:23
characters
25:24
were
25:24
omitted,
25:24
like
25:25
the
25:25
Scouring
25:25
of
25:25
the
25:26
Shire
25:26
and
25:26
Tom
25:27
Bombadil.
25:28
Certain
25:28
elements
25:28
like
25:29
the
25:29
elves
25:29
fighting
25:30
at
25:30
Helm's
25:30
Deep
25:30
were
25:31
added
25:31
and
25:32
elements
25:32
that
25:32
Tolkien
25:33
kept
25:33
ambiguous
25:34
were
25:34
defined.
25:35
The
25:36
Tolkien
25:36
estate
25:37
would
25:37
be
25:37
contacted
25:38
by
25:38
Jackson,
25:38
Walsh
25:39
and
25:39
Boyans.
25:40
However,
25:40
the
25:40
estate
25:41
chose
25:41
to
25:41
distance
25:42
themselves
25:42
from
25:42
Jackson's
25:43
adaptations.
25:44
They
25:44
had
25:45
no
25:45
creative
25:45
control
25:46
over
25:46
Jackson's
25:47
films
25:47
and
25:47
disagreed
25:48
with
25:48
many
25:48
of
25:48
his
25:49
creative
25:49
choices,
25:50
particularly
25:51
the
25:51
emphasis
25:51
on
25:51
battle
25:52
sequences
25:52
and
25:53
the
25:53
alterations
25:54
to
25:54
character
25:54
motivations
25:55
and
25:55
personalities.
25:56
Christopher
25:57
Tolkien
25:57
in
25:57
particular
25:58
was
25:58
concerned
25:59
with
25:59
preserving
25:59
his
26:00
father's
26:00
literary
26:01
legacy.
26:01
He
26:02
viewed
26:02
the
26:02
books
26:02
as
26:03
serious
26:03
works
26:03
with
26:04
deep
26:04
philosophical
26:05
and
26:05
linguistic
26:06
foundations
26:07
rather
26:07
than
26:07
action
26:08
adventure
26:08
stories.
26:09
In
26:09
a
26:09
2012
26:10
interview
26:10
with
26:10
Le
26:11
Monde,
26:11
he
26:11
famously
26:12
stated
26:12
that
26:12
the
26:13
films
26:13
eviscerated
26:14
the
26:14
books
26:15
and
26:15
turned
26:15
them
26:15
into
26:16
action
26:16
movies
26:16
for
26:17
young
26:17
people.
26:18
In
26:18
addition,
26:18
he
26:18
was
26:19
uncomfortable
26:19
with
26:19
the
26:19
merchandising
26:20
and
26:20
commercial
26:21
aspects
26:21
that
26:21
accompanied
26:22
the
26:22
films
26:23
and
26:23
objected
26:24
to
26:24
the
26:24
transformation
26:25
of
26:25
his
26:25
father's
26:26
work
26:26
into
26:27
commercial
26:27
entertainment
26:28
projects.
26:29
Nevertheless,
26:30
Jackson
26:31
was
26:31
passionate
26:31
about
26:31
making
26:32
films
26:32
that
26:32
were
26:32
not
26:33
only
26:33
faithful
26:33
to
26:34
Tolkien's
26:34
works,
26:35
but
26:35
that
26:35
took
26:35
advantage
26:36
of
26:36
everything
26:36
available
26:37
in
26:37
the
26:37
late
26:37
90s
26:38
and
26:38
early
26:38
2000s.
26:39
I'm
26:40
going
26:40
to
26:40
go
26:40
into
26:40
the
26:40
visual
26:41
effects
26:41
in
26:41
more
26:41
detail
26:42
in
26:42
the
26:42
episode
26:42
on
26:43
the
26:43
Return
26:43
of
26:43
the
26:43
King,
26:44
but
26:44
we're
26:44
talking
26:45
cutting
26:45
edge
26:45
CGI
26:46
and
26:46
motion
26:46
capture
26:47
scale
26:48
miniatures,
26:48
forced
26:49
perspective
26:50
as
26:50
well
26:50
as
26:50
production
26:51
design,
26:51
creating
26:52
multiple
26:52
size
26:53
sets.
26:53
This
26:54
was
26:54
truly
26:54
an
26:55
epic
26:55
production
26:56
of
26:56
nothing
26:56
that
26:56
had
26:57
ever
26:57
been
26:57
accomplished
26:57
before
26:58
and
26:58
likely
26:59
never
26:59
will
26:59
again
27:00
to
27:00
this
27:00
scope
27:00
and
27:00
scale.
27:01
Jackson
27:02
began
27:02
storyboarding
27:03
the
27:03
trilogy
27:03
with
27:03
Christian
27:04
Rivers
27:04
in
27:04
August
27:05
1997,
27:06
effectively
27:07
creating
27:07
a
27:07
rough
27:08
black
27:08
and
27:08
white
27:09
2D
27:09
version
27:09
of
27:09
the
27:10
film.
27:10
Jackson
27:11
showed
27:11
excerpts
27:12
of
27:12
these
27:13
animated
27:13
storyboards
27:14
to
27:14
allow
27:14
potential
27:15
cast
27:15
a
27:15
view
27:16
of
27:16
the
27:16
film's
27:16
style.
27:17
And
27:18
casting
27:18
started
27:18
in
27:19
earnest
27:19
in
27:19
1999
27:20
and
27:20
it
27:21
was
27:21
a
27:21
global
27:21
surge,
27:22
prioritizing
27:23
acting
27:23
ability
27:24
over
27:24
star
27:25
power.
27:25
Jackson
27:26
wanted
27:26
actors
27:27
who
27:27
could
27:27
blend
27:27
together
27:28
rather
27:28
than
27:29
standout
27:29
stars
27:29
who
27:30
might
27:30
overshadow
27:31
the
27:31
story,
27:31
with
27:32
a
27:32
strong
27:32
focus
27:33
on
27:33
New
27:33
Zealand
27:34
and
27:34
British
27:35
actors
27:35
for
27:35
the
27:35
roles.
27:37
Now,
27:37
of
27:37
course,
27:38
in
27:38
a
27:38
movie
27:38
about
27:38
the
27:39
Lord
27:39
of
27:39
the
27:39
Rings,
27:40
casting
27:40
Frodo
27:41
would
27:41
be
27:42
Key
27:42
the
27:42
original
27:43
idea
27:43
was
27:44
that
27:44
all
27:44
the
27:44
hobbits
27:44
would
27:45
be
27:45
played
27:45
by
27:46
Brits,
27:46
based
27:47
on
27:47
Tolkien's
27:48
version
27:48
of
27:48
the
27:48
Shire
27:49
as
27:49
based
27:49
on
27:49
middle
27:50
England.
27:51
Over
27:51
150
27:52
young
27:52
British
27:53
actors
27:53
were
27:53
auditioned,
27:54
including
27:54
Dominic
27:55
Monaghan
27:56
who
27:56
would
27:56
go
27:56
on
27:56
to
27:56
play
27:56
merry
27:57
Scottish
27:58
actor,
27:58
Billy
27:58
Boyd,
27:59
who
27:59
would
27:59
be
27:59
Pippin
28:00
and
28:00
Orlando
28:01
Bloom
28:01
who
28:01
would
28:02
be
28:02
cast
28:02
as
28:02
Legolas.
28:03
But
28:03
none
28:04
of
28:04
them
28:04
were
28:04
Frodo.
28:05
Once
28:06
American
28:06
Elijah
28:07
Wood
28:08
sent
28:08
in
28:08
an
28:08
audition
28:09
tape
28:09
of
28:09
himself
28:10
dressed
28:10
as
28:10
Frodo
28:11
reading
28:12
lines
28:12
from
28:12
the
28:12
novel.
28:13
The
28:13
British
28:14
Hobbit
28:14
rule
28:14
was
28:15
dropped.
28:15
Wood
28:16
was
28:16
the
28:16
first
28:16
to
28:17
be
28:17
announced
28:17
to
28:17
have
28:17
joined
28:18
the
28:18
cast
28:18
as
28:18
Frodo.
28:19
In
28:19
a
28:19
Press
28:20
release
28:20
on
28:20
10
28:21
July
28:22
1999,
28:23
Jackson
28:23
would
28:24
say
28:24
that
28:24
Frodo
28:25
was
28:25
a
28:25
critical
28:25
role
28:26
and
28:26
the
28:26
actor
28:26
needed
28:27
to
28:27
have
28:27
a
28:27
great
28:27
depth
28:28
of
28:28
range.
28:29
Quote
28:29
While
28:30
we
28:30
looked
28:30
at
28:30
many
28:30
good
28:31
actors,
28:31
it
28:32
was
28:32
clear
28:32
from
28:32
the
28:32
moment
28:33
that
28:33
we
28:33
met
28:33
Elijah
28:34
that
28:34
we
28:34
had
28:34
found
28:35
Frodo
28:35
Baggins.
28:36
He
28:36
has
28:36
an
28:37
enormous
28:37
natural
28:37
ability
28:38
to
28:38
draw
28:38
an
28:39
audience
28:39
into
28:39
a
28:39
story
28:40
and
28:40
the
28:40
dramatic
28:41
depth
28:41
to
28:41
hold
28:42
them
28:42
there.
28:43
Jed
28:44
Gyllenhaal
28:45
famously
28:45
unsuccessfully
28:46
auditioned
28:47
for
28:47
the
28:47
role
28:47
of
28:47
Frodo.
28:48
Several
28:49
well
28:49
known
28:50
actors
28:50
were
28:50
considered
28:51
or
28:51
approached
28:51
for
28:51
key
28:52
roles.
28:52
With
28:52
Russell
28:53
Crowe
28:53
approach
28:53
to
28:54
play
28:54
Aragorn,
28:55
he
28:55
declined.
28:56
Daniel
28:56
Day
28:56
Lewis
28:57
reportedly
28:57
turned
28:58
down
28:58
the
28:58
role
28:58
multiple
28:59
times
28:59
and
28:59
Nicolas
29:00
Cage
29:00
was
29:00
considered
29:01
but
29:01
chose
29:02
not
29:02
to
29:02
pursue
29:02
it.
29:03
Stuart
29:03
Townsend
29:04
was
29:04
initially
29:05
cast
29:05
as
29:05
Aragorn,
29:06
but
29:06
was
29:06
deemed
29:07
too
29:07
young
29:07
and
29:07
replaced
29:08
in
29:08
three
29:08
days
29:09
by
29:09
Viggo
29:10
Mortensen.
29:11
Mortensen
29:12
read
29:12
the
29:12
book
29:13
on
29:13
the
29:13
plane
29:13
over
29:14
and
29:14
received
29:14
a
29:14
crash
29:15
course
29:15
lesson
29:16
in
29:16
fencing
29:16
from
29:16
Bob
29:17
Anderson
29:17
and
29:18
began
29:18
filming
29:19
the
29:19
scenes
29:19
on
29:19
Weathertop
29:20
straight
29:20
away.
29:21
And
29:21
just
29:21
in
29:22
case
29:22
I
29:22
forget
29:22
to
29:22
mention,
29:23
next
29:23
episode,
29:24
the
29:24
dude
29:24
broke
29:25
two
29:25
toes
29:25
kicking
29:26
a
29:26
helmet
29:26
for
29:26
the
29:26
Two
29:26
towers.
29:27
He's
29:27
not
29:28
acting,
29:28
he's
29:29
really
29:29
in
29:29
genuine
29:30
pain.
29:30
He
29:30
also
29:31
lost
29:31
a
29:31
tooth
29:31
taking
29:32
a
29:32
sword
29:32
to
29:33
the
29:33
face.
29:34
Viggo
29:35
Mortensen
29:35
is
29:35
still
29:36
hot
29:36
by
29:36
the
29:36
way.
29:37
Just
29:37
in
29:37
case
29:37
you
29:37
were
29:38
wondering.
29:38
Sean
29:39
Connery
29:39
was
29:39
offered
29:40
the
29:40
role
29:40
of
29:40
Gandalf
29:41
but
29:41
turned
29:41
it
29:41
down,
29:42
reportedly
29:42
because
29:42
he
29:43
didn't
29:43
understand
29:43
the
29:44
script.
29:44
He
29:45
also
29:45
turned
29:45
down
29:46
potentially
29:47
a
29:47
$450
29:48
million
29:49
payday
29:50
from
29:50
the
29:51
cut
29:51
of
29:51
the
29:51
profits
29:52
he
29:52
would
29:52
have
29:52
received.
29:53
Christopher
29:54
Plummer
29:54
was
29:54
approached
29:55
for
29:55
Gandalf
29:55
but
29:56
declined.
29:56
Patrick
29:57
Stewart
29:57
was
29:58
considered,
29:58
but
29:59
while
29:59
filming
29:59
the
29:59
first
30:00
X
30:00
men
30:00
movie
30:01
in
30:01
1999,
30:02
his
30:02
friend
30:03
and
30:03
co
30:03
star
30:04
Ian
30:04
McKellen
30:04
was
30:05
instead
30:05
cast
30:05
as
30:06
Gandalf.
30:07
McKellen
30:07
couldn't
30:08
join
30:08
the
30:08
shoot
30:08
at
30:08
the
30:08
beginning
30:09
due
30:09
to
30:09
his
30:09
commitments
30:10
for
30:10
X
30:10
Men,
30:11
so
30:11
he
30:11
joined
30:12
in
30:12
January
30:12
2000
30:13
and
30:13
worked
30:14
mostly
30:14
with
30:14
the
30:14
Hobbit
30:15
scale
30:15
doubles
30:16
Including
30:16
Kieran
30:17
Shaw,
30:17
who
30:18
doubled
30:18
for
30:18
Frodo.
30:19
Shah,
30:20
who
30:20
is
30:20
4
30:20
foot
30:20
2,
30:21
would
30:21
say
30:21
that
30:21
Peter
30:22
Jackson's
30:22
movies
30:22
were,
30:23
quote,
30:23
the
30:24
best

for

opposite
30:47
Elijah

30:49
A
30:50
massive
30:50
fan
30:50
of
30:50
the
30:50
novel
30:51
for
30:51
decades,
30:52
Christopher
30:52
Lee
30:52
had
30:53
dreamed
30:53
of
30:53
playing
30:54
Gandalf.
30:54
But
30:55
by
30:55
the
30:55
time
30:55
Jackson
30:56
was
30:56
casting
30:56
for
30:56
his
30:57
movies,
30:57
Lee
30:57
was
30:58
in
30:58
his
30:58
mid-70s
30:59
and
30:59
deemed
30:59
himself
31:00
too
31:00
old.
31:01
Instead,
31:02
Jackson
31:02
cast
31:03
him
31:03
as
31:03
Saruman
31:04
as
31:04
it
31:04
was
31:04
a
31:05
less
31:05
physically
31:05
demanding
31:06
role.
31:07
Lee
31:07
was
31:07
the
31:07
only
31:08
member
31:08
of
31:08
the
31:08
cast
31:09
or
31:09
crew
31:09
who
31:10
ever
31:10
met
31:10
Tolkien
31:11
in
31:11
person.
31:13
While
31:13
fan
31:13
expectation
31:14
was
31:14
always
31:14
going
31:15
to
31:15
be
31:15
high
31:15
for
31:15
an
31:16
adaptation
31:16
of
31:16
such
31:17
a
31:17
literary
31:17
epic,
31:18
the
31:18
casting
31:19
choice
31:19
of
31:19
Liv
31:19
Tyler
31:20
proved
31:20
initially
31:21
to
31:21
be
31:21
controversial.
31:23
One
31:23
of
31:23
only
31:23
two
31:24
major
31:24
female
31:24
characters
31:25
in
31:25
the
31:25
movies,
31:26
until
31:26
we
31:26
get
31:26
Aelwyn,
31:27
Tyler's
31:28
Arwen
31:29
was
31:29
beefed
31:29
up
31:29
considerably
31:30
from
31:30
the
31:30
book
31:31
version,
31:31
bringing
31:32
her
31:32
out
31:32
of
31:32
Rivendell
31:33
and
31:33
helping
31:33
Frodo
31:34
escape
31:34
the
31:35
Black
31:35
Riders.
31:36
Tyler
31:36
also
31:37
learned
31:37
how
31:37
to
31:37
speak
31:38
Elvish
31:38
for
31:38
the
31:38
role,
31:39
something
31:39
that
31:40
impressed
31:40
Jackson
31:41
immensely.
31:42
Sean
31:43
Astin,
31:44
new
31:44
casting
31:44
director
31:45
Victoria
31:45
Burrows,
31:46
and
31:46
his
31:46
father,
31:47
John
31:47
Astin,
31:48
had
31:48
worked
31:48
previously
31:49
with
31:49
Peter
31:49
Jackson
31:50
on
31:50
the
31:50
Frighteners.
31:51
But
31:51
when
31:51
his
31:52
agent
31:52
contacted
31:52
Astin
31:53
about
31:53
the
31:53
role
31:54
of
31:54
Samwise
31:54
Gamgee,
31:55
he
31:55
admitted
31:56
that
31:56
despite
31:57
graduating
31:57
from
31:58
UCLA
31:58
with
31:59
a
31:59
double
31:59
degree
31:59
in
31:59
history
32:00
and
32:00
American
32:01
Literature
32:01
and
32:02
Culture
32:02
with
32:02
honours,
32:03
Astin
32:03
had
32:04
to
32:04
go
32:04
to
32:04
a
32:04
bookshop
32:05
to
32:05
look
32:05
up
32:05
Tolkien.
32:06
As
32:06
well
32:07
as
32:07
learning
32:07
about
32:07
the
32:08
plot,
32:08
Astin
32:09
was
32:09
tasked
32:09
with
32:09
nailing
32:09
a
32:10
British
32:10
accent.
32:10
In
32:10
a
32:11
short
32:11
space
32:11
of
32:11
time
32:11
before
32:12
the
32:12
audition,
32:13
which
32:13
he
32:13
agreed
32:13
to
32:14
do,
32:14
his
32:15
wife
32:15
found
32:15
a
32:15
dialect
32:16
coach
32:16
to
32:16
help
32:17
him,
32:17
and
32:17
the
32:17
dialect
32:18
coach
32:18
believed
32:19
that
32:19
Astin
32:20
was
32:20
getting
32:20
the
32:20
part.
32:21
Like
32:21
much
32:22
of
32:22
the
32:22
cast
32:22
and
32:22
crew,
32:23
Astin's
32:23
wife
32:24
and
32:24
daughter
32:24
were
32:24
able
32:25
to
32:25
live
32:25
with
32:25
him
32:25
in
32:26
New
32:26
Zealand
32:26
while
32:27
he
32:27
filmed
32:27
for
32:27
the
32:28
approximately
32:28
14
32:29
months
32:29
or
32:30
438
32:31
days
32:31
of
32:32
continuous
32:32
filming,
32:33
with
32:33
his
32:33
daughter
32:34
Alexandra,
32:35
even
32:35
cameoing
32:35
in
32:36
the
32:36
Return
32:36
of
32:36
the
32:36
King
32:37
as
32:37
Eleanor
32:37
Gamgee,
32:38
Sam's
32:38
young
32:39
daughter.
32:39
This
32:40
was
32:40
one
32:40
of
32:40
the
32:40
longest
32:41
continuous
32:41
shoots
32:42
in
32:42
film
32:42
history
32:43
at
32:43
that
32:43
time.
32:44
All
32:44
three
32:44
films
32:45
were
32:45
shot
32:45
simultaneously
32:46
rather
32:46
than
32:46
sequentially,
32:47
which
32:48
was
32:48
a
32:48
revolutionary
32:49
approach
32:49
for
32:49
such
32:50
a
32:50
massive
32:50
project.
32:52
As
32:52
the
32:52
actors
32:52
traveled
32:53
to
32:53
Wellington,
32:53
their
32:54
new
32:54
home
32:54
for
32:54
the
32:54
next
32:55
couple
32:55
of
32:55
years,
32:56
Jackson
32:56
wanted
32:57
his
32:57
cast
32:57
to
32:57
bond
32:58
before
32:58
Filming
32:59
began
32:59
on
32:59
11th
33:00
October
33:01
1999.
33:02
The
33:02
principal
33:02
actors
33:03
trained
33:03
for
33:03
six
33:04
weeks
33:04
in
33:04
Sword
33:05
fighting
33:05
with
33:05
Bob
33:05
Anderson,
33:06
who
33:06
once
33:07
taught
33:07
Errol
33:07
Fling
33:08
archery,
33:09
riding
33:09
and
33:09
boating
33:10
as
33:11
well
33:11
as
33:11
in
33:11
Tolkiense.
33:12
Is
33:13
that
33:13
a
33:13
thing?
33:13
It
33:14
is
33:14
now,
33:15
basically,
33:15
so
33:15
they
33:16
could
33:16
pronounce
33:16
his
33:16
verses
33:17
correctly
33:18
and
33:18
this
33:19
fellowship
33:19
became
33:20
a
33:20
real
33:20
fellowship.
33:21
When
33:22
not
33:22
filming,
33:22
they
33:22
learned
33:23
to
33:23
surf
33:23
together.
33:23
They
33:24
took
33:24
trips
33:24
to
33:24
Thailand
33:25
and
33:25
Australia.
33:26
They
33:26
went
33:27
skiing,
33:27
snowboarding,
33:28
whitewater
33:29
rafting
33:29
and
33:29
bungee
33:30
jumping.
33:30
They
33:31
played
33:31
football
33:31
on
33:32
set
33:32
with
33:32
Sean
33:33
Bean
33:33
and
33:33
Dominic
33:33
Monaghan
33:34
ribbing
33:34
each
33:35
other
33:35
as
33:35
their
33:35
favorite
33:35
teams
33:36
clashed.
33:37
At
33:37
the
33:37
end
33:37
of
33:37
filming,
33:38
the
33:38
entire
33:38

33:39
for

33:42
the
33:43
elvish
33:43

33:43

33:45
In
33:45
total,
33:46
up
33:46
to
33:46
seven
33:47
units
33:47
filmed
33:48

to

traverse
33:53
the
33:53
often
33:53
difficult
33:54
terrain.
33:55
While
33:55
Jackson
33:55
oversaw
33:56
the
33:56

with

nearly

50,000

34:30
The
34:31
first
34:31
scene
34:31
filmed
34:32
was
34:32
the
34:32

34:33
in
34:33
the

film
34:58
and
34:58
a
34:58
total
34:58
of
34:59
330
35:00
vehicles
35:00
were
35:00
used,
35:01
including
35:02
that
35:02
one
35:02
that
35:03
had
35:03
to
35:03
be
35:03
digitally
35:03
removed
35:04
from
35:04
the
35:04
film
35:04
for
35:05
the
35:05
DVD
35:05
release.
35:06
In
35:07
this
35:07
movie
35:07
specifically,
35:08
we
35:08
meet
35:08
the
35:08
inhabitants
35:09
of
35:09
Hobbiton
35:10
of
35:10
the
35:10
Shire.
35:11
Based
35:11
on
35:11
the
35:11
Warwickshire
35:12
countryside
35:13
Tolkien
35:13
grew
35:13
up
35:13
in
35:14
and
35:14
around.
35:15
It's
35:15
not
35:15
classed
35:16
as
35:16
Warwickshire
35:16
anymore.
35:17
It's
35:17
now
35:17
classed
35:18
as
35:18
West
35:18
Midlands.
35:19
I
35:19
say
35:19
this
35:20
as
35:20
a
35:20
Warwickshire
35:20
girlie.
35:21
The
35:21
creation
35:22
of
35:22
Hobbiton
35:23
for
35:23
the
35:23
Lord
35:23
of
35:23
the
35:23
Rings
35:24
was
35:24
an
35:24
extraordinary
35:25
feat
35:25
of
35:25
production
35:26
design
35:26
that
35:26
began
35:27
years
35:27
before
35:27
filming
35:28
did.
35:29
The
35:29
team
35:29
discovered
35:30
the
35:30
Alexander
35:30
family
35:31
sheet
35:31
farm
35:31
near
35:31
Mata
35:32
Mata
35:32
in
35:33
New
35:33
Zealand
35:33
in
35:33
1998.
35:35
Peter
35:35
Jackson
35:36
chose
35:36
it
35:36
because
35:36
the
35:36
rolling
35:37
hills
35:37
and
35:37
lake
35:38
perfectly
35:38
matched
35:39
Tolkien's
35:39
descriptions
35:40
of
35:40
the
35:40
Shire.
35:41
Construction
35:42
began
35:42
in
35:43
March
35:43
1999,
35:44
nearly
35:44
nine
35:44
months
35:45
before
35:45
filming
35:46
started.
35:46
The
35:47
New
35:47
Zealand
35:47
army
35:48
helped
35:48
build
35:48
an
35:48
access
35:49
road
35:49
to
35:49
the
35:50
remote
35:50
location.
35:51
The
35:51
production
35:52
planted
35:52
flowers,
35:53
vegetables
35:54
and
35:54
hedges,
35:54
imported
35:55
mature
35:55
apple
35:56
and
35:56
plum
35:56
trees
35:57
and
35:57
wired
35:58
artificial
35:58
leaves
35:58
to
35:59
them
35:59
when
35:59
shooting
36:00
in
36:00
winter.

75%
36:06
and
36:06
100%
36:07

36:07

36:07
were
36:08
built
36:08
along
36:09

the
36:09
large

36:12
and
36:12
production
36:13
designer
36:13
Grant
36:13
Major
36:14
ensured
36:14
structures
36:15
looked
36:15
as
36:15
if
36:16
they'd
36:16
been
36:16
there
36:16
for
36:16
centuries
36:17
by
36:17
using
36:18
natural
36:18
local
36:19
materials,
36:20
incorporating
36:21
existing
36:21
landscape
36:22
features,
36:23
creating
36:23
weathered,
36:24
aged
36:24
appearances
36:25
and
36:25
having
36:25
gardeners
36:26
establish
36:26
real
36:27
gardens
36:27
that
36:27
were
36:28
actively
36:28
growing.
36:29
Vegetables
36:30
in
36:30
the
36:30
gardens
36:30
were
36:31
edible
36:31
and
36:31
harvested
36:32
for
36:32
use
36:32
by
36:33
the
36:33
catering
36:33
team
36:34
during
36:34
filming.
36:35
The
36:35
original
36:36
Hobbiton
36:36
for
36:36
the
36:36
Lord
36:37
of
36:37
the
36:37
Rings
36:37
was
36:38
largely
36:38
temporary,
36:39
though
36:39
made
36:39
of
36:39
polystyrene
36:40
and
36:40
plywood
36:41
facades.
36:42
After
36:42
filming
36:43
of
36:43
the
36:43
Lord
36:43
of
36:43
the
36:44
Rings,
36:44
it
36:44
was
36:44
mostly
36:45
dismantled,
36:45
leaving
36:46
only
36:46
basic
36:47
structures.
36:47
It
36:48
was
36:48
reconstructed
36:49
permanently
36:50
for
36:50
the
36:50
Hobbit
36:50
trilogy
36:51
years
36:51
later
36:52
with
36:52
permanent
36:53
materials,
36:53
and
36:54
this
36:54
version
36:54
remains
36:55
today
36:55
as
36:55
a
36:55
major
36:56
tourist
36:56
attraction
36:57
with
36:57
44
36:58
permanent
36:58
hobbit
36:59
holes.
36:59
I
37:00
have
37:00
been
37:00
to
37:00
Hobbiton
37:01
and
37:01
it
37:02
is
37:02
as
37:02
magical
37:03
as
37:03
you
37:03
would
37:03
expect
37:04
it
37:04
to
37:04
be.
37:05
The
37:05
costume
37:06
designed
37:06
for
37:06
the
37:06
Lord
37:06
of
37:07
the
37:07
Rings
37:07
trilogy
37:08
was
37:08
led
37:08
by
37:08
designer
37:09
Angela
37:10
Dixon,
37:10
who
37:10
won
37:11
an
37:11
Academy
37:11
Award
37:12
for
37:12
her
37:12
work,
37:13
and
37:13
it
37:13
was
37:13
an
37:13
enormous
37:14
undertaking.
37:15
Dixon
37:15
and
37:16
40
37:16
seamstresses
37:17
worked
37:17
on
37:18
over
37:18
19,000
37:19
costumes
37:20
for
37:20
the
37:20
films.
37:21
Due
37:21
to
37:21
the
37:21
large
37:22
shooting
37:22
schedule,
37:23
10
37:23
versions
37:24
of
37:24
each
37:24
costume
37:25
were
37:25
made
37:25
per
37:26
character,
37:27
with
37:27
30
37:27
more
37:28
of
37:28
the
37:28
stunt
37:29
scale
37:29
and
37:29
other
37:29
doubles
37:30
all
37:30
in
37:30
all,
37:31
meaning
37:31
that
37:31
each
37:32
design
37:32
had
37:33
40
37:33
versions.
37:34
Jackson
37:35
had
37:35
a
37:35
requirement
37:36
of
37:36
realism,
37:37
so
37:37
the
37:37
costumers
37:38
went
37:38
to
37:38
great
37:38
lengths
37:38
to
37:39
make
37:39
costumes
37:39
looked
37:40
lived
37:40
in,
37:40
wearing
37:41
away
37:41
color,
37:42
stuffing
37:42
pockets
37:43
and
37:43
dirtying
37:44
them.
37:44
Each
37:45
race
37:45
had
37:45
their
37:45
own
37:46
cultural
37:46
identity
37:47
in
37:47
Middle
37:47
Earth,
37:48
and
37:48
this
37:48
was
37:48
also
37:49
expressed
37:49
with
37:49
clothing
37:50
and
37:50
armor.
37:51
The
37:51
Hobbit
37:52
clothes
37:52
were
37:52
inspired
37:53
by
37:53
English,
37:53
rural
37:54
and
37:54
Victorian
37:55
country
37:55
styles,
37:56
with
37:56
earthy
37:56
natural
37:57
fabrics,
37:58
warm
37:58
colors
37:58
and
37:59
simple
37:59
practical
38:00
designs
38:00
reflecting
38:01
their
38:01
lifestyle.
38:02
Even
38:03
Hobbit
38:03
class
38:03
was
38:04
shown
38:04
in
38:04
the
38:04
clothing.
38:05
Frodo
38:06
being
38:06
wealthier
38:07
than
38:07
Sam
38:07
meant
38:08
Frodo
38:08
had
38:09
slightly
38:09
finer
38:10
fabrics.
38:11
The
38:11
Elves
38:11
had
38:12
art
38:12
Nouveau
38:13
and
38:13
art
38:13
Deco
38:13
influences
38:14
with
38:14
flowing,
38:15
elegant
38:15
fabrics
38:16
in
38:16
silvers,
38:16
pale
38:17
blues
38:17
and
38:17
sage
38:18
greens.
38:19
Details
38:19
were
38:20
hand
38:20
embroidered
38:20
with
38:21
nature
38:21
inspired
38:22
patterns.
38:23
The
38:23
Rohirrim
38:24
had
38:24
Nordic
38:24
and
38:25
Anglo
38:25
Saxon
38:25
influences,
38:26
with
38:27
horse
38:27
motifs
38:28
integrated
38:28
throughout
38:29
in
38:29
rich
38:30
greens,
38:30
golds
38:31
and
38:31
earthy
38:32
tones.
38:32
Gondor
38:33
had
38:34
Byzantine
38:34
and
38:35
Medieval
38:35
European
38:36
influences.
38:37
Black,
38:37
silver
38:38
and
38:38
white
38:38
colour
38:38
palette,
38:39
with
38:39
the
38:40
white
38:40
tree
38:40
of
38:40
Gondor
38:41
as
38:41
a
38:41
recurring
38:42
motif.
38:43
The
38:43
Orcs
38:43
and
38:44
Uruk
38:44
Hai
38:44
clothing
38:45
was
38:45
made
38:45
to
38:45
look
38:45
asymmetrical,
38:47
as
38:47
if
38:47
it
38:47
was
38:47
made
38:48
by
38:48
actual
38:48
Orcs
38:49
with
38:49
industrial
38:50
crude
38:50
leather
38:51
and
38:51
metalwork.
38:52
The
38:52
clothing
38:53
also
38:53
incorporated
38:54
bone,
38:55
teeth
38:55
and
38:56
scavenged
38:56
materials,
38:57
suggesting
38:57
they
38:58
scavenged
38:58
their
38:58
kills.
38:59
Over
39:00
2000
39:01
suits
39:01
of
39:01
armor
39:01
were
39:02
created,
39:02
again
39:03
with
39:03
each
39:03
culture
39:03
having
39:04
distinct
39:04
armor
39:05
styles
39:05
requiring
39:06
different
39:06
techniques.
39:07
Urethane
39:08
plastic
39:08
was
39:08
used
39:09
for
39:09
armor
39:09
pieces,
39:10
along
39:10
with
39:10
leather
39:11
reinforced
39:11
with
39:11
resin
39:12
and
39:12
lightweight
39:13
aluminium.
39:14
Weta
39:14
Workshop
39:15
developed
39:15
slush
39:15
molding
39:16
techniques
39:17
to
39:17
produce
39:17
armor
39:18
pieces
39:18
efficiently.
39:19
Hero
39:20
pieces,
39:20
which
39:20
were
39:20
the
39:21
close
39:21
up
39:21
armor,
39:21
were
39:22
crafted
39:22
with
39:22
more
39:23
detail
39:23
than
39:23
background
39:24
pieces.
39:25
Each
39:25
piece
39:25
was
39:25
artificially
39:26
aged
39:27
to
39:27
look
39:27
worn
39:27
and
39:27
authentic
39:28
by
39:29
paint
39:29
washes,
39:29
sandblasting
39:30
and
39:30
chemical
39:31
weathering.
39:32
The
39:32
attention
39:33
to
39:33
detail
39:33
in
39:33
the
39:34
costuming
39:34
helped
39:35
create
39:35
a
39:35
believable
39:36
lived
39:36
in
39:36
world
39:37
where
39:37
each
39:37
culture
39:38
had
39:38
a
39:38
distinct
39:38
visual
39:39
identity
39:40
while
39:40
functioning
39:41
practically
39:42
for
39:42
the
39:42
actors
39:43
during
39:43
extensive
39:44
action
39:44
sequences
39:45
and
39:45
long
39:45
shooting
39:46
days.
39:47
And
39:47
there
39:47
really
39:48
is
39:48
no
39:48
easy
39:48
way
39:48
to
39:49
segue
39:49
into
39:49
it.
39:50
But
39:50
this
39:50
is
39:50
the
39:51
point
39:51
where
39:51
I'm
39:51
going
39:52
to
39:52
segue
39:52
into
39:52
the
39:52
obligatory
39:53
Keanu
39:53
reference
39:54
of
39:54
this
39:54
episode,
39:55
which
39:55
is
39:55
basically
39:55
a
39:56
part
39:56
of
39:56
the
39:56
podcast
39:56
where
39:56
I
39:57
try
39:57
and
39:57
link
39:57
Keanu
39:57
Reeves
39:58
to
39:58
pretty
39:58
much
39:59
every
39:59
movie
39:59
that
39:59
I
39:59
feature
40:00
for
40:00
no
40:00
reason
40:01
other
40:01
than
40:02
he
40:02
is
40:02
Keanu
40:02
Reeves
40:03
and
40:03
he
40:03
is
40:03
the
40:03
best
40:04
of
40:04
men
40:04
and
40:04
unfortunately
40:05
he
40:05
has
40:06
nothing
40:06
to
40:06
do
40:06
with
40:07
the
40:07
Lord
40:07
of
40:07
the
40:07
Rings
40:08
at
40:08
all.
40:09
However,
40:09
the
40:10
easiest
40:10
way
40:10
to
40:10
link
40:11
him
40:11
to
40:11
this
40:12
movie
40:13
is
40:13
to
40:13
say
40:13
that
40:14
Keanu
40:14
starred
40:14
in
40:15
the
40:15
Matrix
40:15
with
40:15
Hugo
40:16
Weaving.
40:17
Hugo
40:17
Weaving
40:18
played
40:18
Agent
40:18
Smith
40:18
in
40:19
that
40:19
movie
40:19
and
40:20
he
40:20
plays
40:20
Elrond
40:21
in
40:21
the
40:21
Fellowship
40:22
of
40:22
the
40:22
Ring.
40:22
I
40:23
don't
40:23
know
40:23
what
40:23
I'm
40:23
gonna
40:23
do
40:24
with
40:24
the
40:24
other
40:24
two
40:24
movies.
40:25
I
40:25
guess
40:25
we
40:25
will
40:26
wait
40:26
and
40:26
see
40:27
what
40:27
I
40:27
manage
40:27
to
40:28
get
40:28
out
40:28
of
40:28
the
40:28
bag
40:28
for
40:28
those
40:29
two.
40:29
But
40:30
as
40:30
I
40:30
mentioned
40:30
earlier,
40:31
I
40:31
want
40:31
to
40:31
talk
40:31
about
40:31
the
40:32
music
40:32
and
40:33
the
40:33
incredible
40:34
score,
40:34
specifically
40:35
in
40:35
the
40:35
episode
40:36
on
40:36
the
40:36
Return
40:36
of
40:36
the
40:36
King
40:37
and
40:37
that's
40:37
something
40:38
very
40:38
different.
40:38
I
40:39
usually
40:39
do
40:39
talk
40:40
about
40:40
individual
40:41
aspects
40:41
of
40:41
the
40:41
movie,
40:42
but
40:42
because
40:43
this
40:43
is
40:43
across
40:44
the
40:44
series,
40:44
I
40:45
want
40:45
to
40:45
focus
40:45
on
40:45
it
40:45
in
40:46
one
40:46
episode.
40:47
Obviously
40:48
this
40:48
movie
40:48
did
40:49
have
40:49
a
40:49
song
40:49
by
40:50
Enya
40:50
called
40:50
Let
40:51
It
40:51
Be,
40:51
which
40:52
would
40:52
end
40:52
up
40:52
becoming
40:52
award
40:53
nominated.
40:54
But
40:54
considering
40:55
the
40:55
incredible
40:56
task
40:56
to
40:56
actually
40:57
get
40:57
the
40:57
Lord
40:57
of
40:57
the
40:57
Rings
40:58
made,
40:58
the
40:59
next
40:59
task
40:59
was
40:59
going
41:00
to
41:00
be
41:00
how
41:01
do
41:01
we
41:01
get
41:01
people
41:02
who
41:02
don't
41:03
necessarily
41:03
know
41:03
Tolkien's
41:04
work
41:05
to
41:05
come
41:05
and
41:05
see
41:05
this
41:06
movie
41:06
and
41:07
the
41:07
two
41:07
movies
41:07
that
41:07
are
41:08
going
41:08
to
41:08
follow.
41:09
The
41:09
website
41:10

41:10
the
41:10
Fellowship
41:10
of
41:11

41:12
the
41:12

41:12
in
41:12
general
41:13
debuted
41:13
two
41:14
years
41:14
before
41:14
the
41:15
Fellowship
41:15
of
41:15
the
41:15
Ring
41:15
was
41:16
released
41:16
and
41:17
it
41:17
contained
41:17
regular
41:18
production
41:18
diaries
41:19
and
41:19
behind
41:19
the
41:20
scenes
41:20
content
41:20
to
41:20
keep
41:21
fans
41:21
engaged
41:22
and
41:22
became
41:23
a
41:23
hub
41:23
for
41:23
exclusive
41:24
content.
41:25
The
41:25
production
41:26
new
41:26
authenticity
41:27
to
41:27
the
41:27
books
41:28
would
41:28
please
41:28
the
41:29
fandom,
41:29
but
41:30
getting
41:30
everyday
41:30
cinemagoers
41:31
involved
41:32
was
41:32
something
41:32
completely
41:33
different
41:34
the
41:34
first
41:34
featurette
41:35
trailer
41:35
was
41:35
released
41:36
in
41:36
April
41:36
2000
41:37
and
41:38
was
41:38
downloaded
41:38
over
41:39
1.7
41:39
million
41:40
times
41:40
in
41:40
its
41:41
first
41:41
24
41:41

41:44
the

41:46
And
41:46
this
41:47
feature
41:47
at
41:47
trailer
41:47
is
41:48
cited
41:48
as
41:48
drawing
41:49
in
41:49
the
41:49
general
41:50
audiences
41:50
because
41:51
it
41:51
tended
41:51
to
41:52
focus
41:52
on
41:52
the
41:53
emotional
41:53
journey
41:54
of
41:54
the
41:54
characters
41:55
and
41:55
so
41:55
you
41:55
didn't
41:56
need
41:56
to
41:56
be
41:56
a
41:56
Tolkien
41:57
fan
41:57
or
41:57
a
41:57

41:58
to
41:58
enjoy
41:59
this
41:59
movie
42:00
and
42:00
not
42:00
to
42:01
mention
42:01
this
42:01
movie
42:01
involving
42:02
a
42:02
love
42:02
story
42:03
and
42:03
some
42:03
battle
42:04
sequences
42:04
which
42:05
would
42:05
in
42:05
turn
42:06
create
42:06
entry
42:07
points
42:07
for

viewers
42:08
unfamiliar

the

42:26
had
42:26
it
42:26
at
42:27
number
42:27
three
42:27
because
42:28
it
42:28

43:13
they

make

45:28

45:29
In

45:31
the

45:41
And
45:41
as
45:42
this
45:42
is
45:42
the
45:42
first
45:42

you
45:48

45:48
return
45:49

45:50
Because

45:51
the

45:52

45:52
the

dead,
45:56
Frodo

46:01
But
46:02
not
46:02
all
46:02
hope
46:02
is
46:03
lost.
46:04

yes,

48:17
contact
48:18
me
48:18
on
48:18
social
48:18
media
48:19
as
48:19
well.
48:20
Please
48:20
feel
48:20
free
48:21
to
48:21
get
48:21
in
48:21
touch
48:21
and
48:22
say
48:22
hello
48:23
and
48:24
finally
48:25
I
48:25
know.
48:25
What
48:25
it
48:26
is
48:26
you
48:26
saw,
48:30
for
48:30
it
48:31
is
48:31
also
48:31
in
48:31
my
48:32
mind.
48:34
It
48:35
is
48:35
what
48:35
will
48:35
come
48:36
to
48:36
pass
48:37
if
48:37
you
48:38
should
48:38
fail.
48:41
The
48:41
Fellowship
48:42
is
48:42
breaking.
48:44
It
48:44
has
48:44
already
48:45
begun.
48:47
He
48:47
will
48:47
try
48:48
to
48:48
take
48:48
the
48:48
the
48:49
Ring.
48:50
You
48:51
know
48:51
of
48:51
whom
48:52
I
48:52
speak.
48:53
One
48:54
by
48:54
one,
48:55
it
48:55
will
48:55
destroy
48:56
them
48:56
all.
48:59
If
49:00
you
49:00
ask
49:00
it
49:00
of
49:01
me,
49:02
I
49:03
will
49:03
give
49:03
you
49:03
the
49:04
One
49:04
Ring.
49:07
You
49:07
offer
49:07
it
49:08
to
49:08
me
49:08
freely.
49:13
I
49:14
do
49:14
not
49:14
deny
49:15
that
49:15
my
49:15
heart
49:16
has
49:16
greatly
49:16
desired
49:17
this.
49:24
In
49:24
place
49:25
of
49:25
a
49:25
Dark
49:25
Lord,
49:26
you
49:26
would
49:26
have
49:26
a
49:27
queen.
49:28
Not
49:28
dark
49:29
but
49:29
beautiful
49:30
and
49:30
terrible.
49:31
Afterborn.
49:32
Treacherous
49:34
as
49:34
the
49:34
sea.
49:36
Stronger
49:37
than
49:37
the
49:38
foundation
49:39
of
49:40
fear.
49:42
Oh,
49:42
shall
49:43
love
49:44
me
49:44
and
49:45
despair.
50:01
I
50:02
pass
50:02
the
50:02
test.
50:04
I
50:04
will
50:05
diminish
50:06
and
50:06
go
50:07
into
50:07
the
50:07
west
50:09
and
50:09
remain
50:10
Galadriel.
50:11
I
50:12
cannot
50:12
do
50:12
this
50:13
alone.
50:17
You
50:17
are
50:18
a
50:18
ring
50:18
bearer,
50:18
Frodo.
50:20
To
50:20
bear
50:20
a
50:20
Ring
50:21
of
50:21
power
50:22
is
50:23
to
50:23
be
50:23
alone.
50:27
This
50:27
is
50:27
Nen,
50:28
the
50:28
Ring
50:29
of
50:29
Adamant,
50:30
and
50:30
and
50:31
I
50:31
am
50:31
its
50:31
keeper.
50:35
This
50:36
task
50:37
was
50:38
appointed
50:38
to
50:38
you.
50:40
And
50:40
if
50:40
you
50:41
do
50:41
not
50:41
find
50:41
a
50:41
way,
50:44
no
50:44
one
50:45
will.
50:47
Then
50:47
I
50:47
know
50:47
what
50:47
I
50:48
must
50:48
do.
50:50
It's
50:51
just
50:55
I'm
50:55
afraid
50:56
to
50:56
do
50:56
it.
50:56
It.
51:01
Even
51:01
the
51:02
smallest
51:02
person
51:03
can
51:03
change
51:03
the
51:03
course
51:04
of
51:04
the
51:04
future.
51:09
Bye.
51:21
It.
