Maybe Peter wanted to allude to that moment? Explore Wikis Community Central. Register Don't have an account? Wellllll, I think the drinking game HAD some affects on me I really don't remember But That still only counts as one:- Your Dwarf friend Gimli.
I'm on seventeen!! I never knew worm tongue died in the film. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring had five hundred forty computer-generated effects. The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers had seven hundred ninety-nine, and this movie had one thousand four hundred eighty-seven.
Since , composer Howard Shore and conductor Ludwig Wicki have worked together to bring the movies to the concert hall, with the complete score being performed live to the movies by a complete symphony orchestra and chorus.
The model of Shelob was based on a New Zealand funnel web spider. Titanic was the first. From the start, Peter Jackson wanted his longtime associate Selkirk on this movie, as he knew Selkirk would stay focused on the climax of the entire saga. The entire running time for The Lord of the Rings trilogy is approximately twelve hours from start to finish. The first fantasy movie to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. When Frodo is stuck in Shelob's web, as Gollum taunts him, Elijah Wood was actually suspended on a harness with bungee cords fastened around his wrists and ankles.
In the commentary, he jokes that he was "not hanging up by sheer strength of the web". Dominic Monaghan was allergic to the elven cloaks the Fellowship wore. Before scenes were shot, Peter Jackson used to joke around and say "Are we ready to go? Does Dom have his cape on? Peter Jackson purposely avoided filming Frodo's left hand after the Mordor scenes to avoid conflicts as to the positioning of the wound on the index finger.
It is only seen twice: when the Fellowship is re-united the hand is bandaged and when Frodo is writing his final pages in the Red Book before he turns back to add the title. In the crowd shot of the scene of Aragorn's ascension you can see the blue banner with the silver swan of Dol Amroth being waved. The Prince of Dol Amroth, Imrahil, isn't a major character in the story, but is the one who discovers that Eowyn is still alive after her slaying of the Witch-king.
Doom and the tower, with lava erupting into the tower and melting it from the inside. When the post-production schedule became too hectic, the sequence was simplified into the version that now appears. A scene was cut from the finished movie that showed Eowyn Miranda Otto stripping away her regular clothes and then dressing herself in the armor of a Rohan warrior.
Lothlorien: dream flower. Isengard: iron fortress. Caradhras: red horn. Anduin: long river. Argonath: two noble stones. Emyn Muil: the drear hills.
Fangorn: treebeard. Rohan: horse country. Gondor: land of stone. Osgiliath: citadel of the host of stars. Minas Tirith: tower of watch. Minas Morgul: tower of dark sorcery. Moria: black chasm. Cirith Ungol: pass of the spider. Mordor: black land.
This is the second movie featuring Bernard Hill that earned eleven Academy Award. The first was Titanic The deformed Orc leader Gothmog is only mentioned once in the original novel of The Lord of the Rings, identified only by name, and as the Lieutenant of Morgul.
His race is not given. It was the filmmakers' choice to make him an Orc. Tolkien 's history of Middle-earth, several millennia before the events in The Lord of the Rings. Treebeard refers to the wizard as "young master Gandalf," which indicates that he is far older than Gandalf.
In the previous film, Gandalf says that he has been alive for "three hundred lifetimes. This makes Treebeard very old, indeed. In the scene where Faramir is leaving Minas Tirith, he and his soldiers are riding their horses downhill. Because the streets were paved with smooth bricks, the usual steel horseshoes proved to be too "slick", and the horses were all re-shod with rubber horseshoes. Gollum says the word "precious" seventeen times in this movie.
Pieces of Helm's Deep were altered and built on top of the Minas Tirith set. Peter Jackson is the one hit by Legolas' arrow. In the commentary, he states that he performed six or seven takes of the hit, without any padding.
Co-producer Rick Porras is seen with a "look of horror" as the ghostly hoard attacks at the end of the scene. Also in the scene are Weta supervisor Richard Taylor , prosthetics supervisor Gino Acevedo , and director of photography Andrew Lesnie. The movie tied with Ben-Hur and Titanic to win the most Oscars eleven in a single year.
It is also the only one of the three to win the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay. Also of influence was the alien leader from Jackson's Bad Taste Smegol's final transformation into Gollum in the opening flashback was strongly influenced by the final transformation of Seth Brundle into Brundlefly in The Fly Lawrence Makoare , when wearing the Gothmog make-up, was called "Pimplehead" by extras who didn't know his name. The London Daily Mail reported December 5, that the stars of the Lord of the Rings trilogy were paid bonuses on top of their salaries, depending on how long cast members spent on the trilogy.
The last scene shot during principal photography was a scene where Aragorn was dressed by Gondorian soldiers in his armor before his coronation. The soldiers were played by people from the wardrobe department, but the scene was eventually cut. John Howe jokingly stated he wanted to take home the twin Watchers statues from the Minas Morgul set to scare solicitors away from his house.
He fights with Eowyn, and then gets killed by Aragorn and Gimli. In the theatrical version, he is only shown backing away.
Spence's real mouth was digitally enlarged to underscore his role in Sauron's service, as well as further give the character an inhuman aspect. The House of the Healing sequence was David Wenham 's first day of shooting.
The sounds of the Orcs were, in part, recordings of elephant seal pups at the Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, California, a marine mammal hospital that rescues, rehabilitates, and releases sick and injured seals, sea lions, whales, and dolphins.
John Rhys-Davies Gimli originally auditioned for the role of Denethor. Director Peter Jackson finally managed to have the world premiere of this movie take place in his native New Zealand, where the trilogy had been made. The decision had technically not been made yet, but during promotional tours of the previous movie, Jackson announced that producer Mark Ordesky had a special surprise for New Zealand fans.
This practically forced Ordesky to promise that Wellington would have the world premiere at the spot. Combined as a trilogy, these were voted the best movie of all time in a Australian Movie Poll. Scenes from the book, such as goblins attacking the Fellowship after leaving Rivendell, can be seen in the Blu-ray bonus material. At the end of the film where Sam goes back home and greeted by his wife and two children. The oldest child is actually Sean Astin's real life child. This makes it the first work to take the top movie honors in both the Oscars and the Hugos.
Minas Tirith and the surrounding area are actually a combination of several locations. The seventh tier was a backlot set at Three Foot Six Studios. The other streets were a maze-like set built at the same rock quarry where the Hornburg Helm's Deep was shot. Pelennor Fields was a large open field in Twizel. Osgiliath was another backlot set.
The full cities of Osgiliath and Minas Tirith were built as models. The surrounding mountain ranges were a digital composite of photographs taken of several mountain ranges in New Zealand. For Bernard Hill , this is the third movie in as many decades in which he has appeared that also won Oscars for Best Picture and Best Director.
The others were Gandhi and Titanic Samwise Gamgee is left-handed. However, he can sword fight with both hands. Additional scenes were filmed in New Zealand in , in much the same way as new sequences were shot for The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers prior to that movie's release. Alison Doody had been asked by Peter Jackson to play Eowyn, but had to decline the role due to her pregnancy and the sixteen-month commitment.
Of the three movies to have won eleven Academy Awards, it is the only one not to have received a nomination for its acting. To create realistic galloping horses for the largely CGI horseback army, they took some footage of a horse in a motion-capture suit. The beacon system seen in this film is based on a real system used in the Byzantine Empire during the Arab-Byzantine wars.
If an Arabic attack came on that border, the beacon fires could be spotted faster than a rider could arrive, and rulers in Constantinople which, like Minas Tirith, had layers of walls would learn of the attack within an hour instead of days. At around the same time 9th century , the Chinese used a similar system, but their bonfires were covered with wolf dung, which rose to a very high altitude without dissipating.
The lightning storm effects comes from news footage in Lawrence, Kansas. The mouth of Sauron repeating words causes his mouth to decay and bleed. This change was made digitally, long after the footage had been shot. After Jackson rejected the idea of turning the mouth sideways to appear vertical on the face, the designers came up with the idea of rendering it twice as large as the original.
According to designer Walter Mahy, the original design for the Mouth of Sauron's costume had the helmet hooked directly into the mouth, pulling it permanently open.
This did not work out as it made it impossible for the actor to speak. However, Peter Jackson liked the idea of the robe flowing up into the helmet and this was retained for the final version. In the book, this character is the Chieftain of the Woses, a group of wild men that inhabited the the Druadan Forest of Gondor, who offered their assistance to the Rohirrim as they passed through. Including the extended version of the first film, Sam is the first and last person of the fellowship to be seen in the film.
Also on the day of the premiere, New Zealand's two major television networks suspended regular broadcasts to give over to live coverage of the event.
During the retreat from Osgiliath, when Faramir is leading his men in a frenzied charge back to Minas Tirith, a Fell Beast picks one of the soldiers off his horse. The entire first 30 minutes along with the majority of Sam and Frodo's journey is from The Two Towers novel. The character of Irolas was originally written to be Beregond, a character who appeared in the book. Irolas does not appear in the book, but he is identified as being Beregond's brother spelled "Iorlas" in the book.
The same length of time it took for Arnold Schwarzenegger's damaged terminator make-up application in Terminator 2: Judgment Day In the extended edition, Eowyn tells to Aragorn she had a dream about a great wave. In a interview, J. Tolkien had talked about this, a nightmare he had many times, the dream of an ineluctable wave coming in over the country. He named this his "Atlantis complex".
The series also features a villain named Sauron. Gimli mentions how he wishes he could summon a legion of Dwarves to march on Gondor with the Rohirrim. However Legolas tells him, "Your kinsmen may have no need to ride to war. I fear war already marches on their own lands" which may be a reference to the Easterlings' siege on the Dwarven kingdom of Erebor and their allies that happens off-screen at the same time as the siege of Minas Tirith. The Witch-king's true name was never given, and therefore, among J.
In the Angband computer game, he was listed as "Murazor, the Witch-king of Angmar". Their other scenes together, up to and including the fight with Shelob and Frodo's capture by the Orcs, actually takes place in the book The Two Towers. The second half of that book, however, is devoted entirely to Frodo and Sam. The adventures of the other remaining members of the Fellowship are told in the first half of that book, and their story is picked up again at the first half of The Return of the King, which doesn't resume Frodo and Sam's story until its second half.
Many of the chapters devoted to Frodo and Sam at the end of The Two Towers actually correspond not to chapters from the first half of that book, but the first half of The Return of the King. Therefore, many of those scenes were shifted to the script for The Return of the King, both to keep the time lines more accurate, and to give more screen time to Frodo and Sam.
It surpasses the record previously held by Around the World in 80 Days , which has twenty-six. It also set the record for the number of words in a Best Picture title, with ten. It was the first fantasy film to win the Academy Award for Best Picture. It also was the last movie for 14 years to win the Academy Award for Best Picture without being chosen as one of the top ten films of the year by the National Board of Review, until the release of The Shape of Water in In the scene in the extended edition where Sam tells Frodo, "There's light and beauty up there that no shadow can touch," the star he sees is no ordinary star.
That's the Star of Earendil, the Evenstar - the one Arwen was named after. We would call it Venus. In Middle-Earth, though, it's a Half-Elf Arwen's grandfather, no less, on a flying ship with one of the three Silmarils, which contain the light of the Two Trees; holy light that predates the sun and moon.
The Star of Earendil was the source of the light contained in Galadriel's Phial. SDDS 8 channel decoders list the title of the movie that it is decoding on its display. For this movie, certain reels were labelled "Till Death for Glory", whereas others were labelled "Beijing Chicken". While occasionally interpreted as resembling pterosaurs, J. Tolkien stated that the creatures were not intended to be "pterodactylic", though he conceded similarities.
It just seems that orcs all seemed to be exclusively male. Tolkien ultimately rejected the idea of corrupted elves, but an alternative was never fully set in place. It is established that orcs breed: after all, Bolg was the son of Azog. For this reason it makes sense to assume some orcs are female. Why does Legolas kill Wormtongue?
Did Grima kill Saruman? What if Grima didnt kill Saruman? Did Saruman kill Wormtongue? Why did they kill Saruman in the movies? Is Saruman stronger than Gandalf? How does Saurmon die? Is Saruman immortal? Why did they cut out the Mouth of Sauron? Who greeted Aragorn at the Black Gate? Who killed the Mouth of Sauron? How many men did Aragorn take to the Black Gate?
