“I had never done anything with blue screen before, or prosthetics, or anything like that. Lord of the Rings was like stepping into a videogame for me. It was another world completely. But, to be honest, I basically did it so that I could have the ears. I thought they would really work with my bare head.”
Cate Blanchett
“Aragorn: Hold your ground, hold your ground. Sons of Gondor, of Rohan, my brothers. I see in your eyes the same fear that would take the heart of me. A day may come when the courage of men fails, when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship, but it is not this day. An hour of wolves and shattered shields, when the age of men comes crashing down, but it is not this day. This day we fight! By all that you hold dear on this good Earth, I bid you *stand, Men of the West!*”
J.R.R. Tolkien
“It is but a shadow and thought that you love. I cannot give you what you seek.”
Loed of the Rings
“Through shadow, to the edge of night, until the stars are all alight."- "Excerpt from Edge Of Night (Pippin's Song)”
JRR Tolkein
“If I am Eowyn... then you are my Aragorn... but where is my Faramir?”
C Liong
“I tried reading The Lord of the Rings books. I got about fifty pages in... I got tired of reading the word "fortnight". It was people moving along the map, and complex details about this map, and stopping and camping, and moving around, and staying for a fortnight here, and a fortnight... And I was like: 'You know, I need to go out, and play outside. I need to go feel the sunshine on my face, make friends, uhm, meet a nice girl...'”
Mike Stoklasa
“I had to get used to wearing a mask and wearing a prosthetic and performing with those things while singing and expressing myself through stylized movement, while keeping it as human as possible so the audience could be closer to the horror of the Phantom.”
Gerard Butler
