I had no idea this is how they pulled it off. I'm so happy that they did this rather than CGI or green-screening!!!


I hope they will do it again for The Hobbit trilogy movies!

CGI is not always cheaper. Film producers learned that the hard way. Peter Jackson could have done every set in LotR or The Hobbit with CGI. Instead they build dozens of miniatures and models and animatronics, because it was faster and cheaper for some scenes than fiddling away for months with computer models and the right amount of virtual lighting.

Fine, you convinced me, LOTR a thon it is.

Thanks!

Can't wait for the Kinect version of LOTR, so all the Ring Wraiths, Hobbits and Elves can dance together outside of Mount Doom.

These fan edits can be amazing. The original Two Towers purist edit saved that film for me, and I've been meaning to investigate these.

As a LOTR fag it's tough to imagine anything could make Star Wars watchable, but cutting away 80% of the running time is probably its best chance.

yeah. saw "Bad Taste" when it came out, as a teenager, and loved it, which is why i was a bit surprised when i heard he was going to do LotR. he was David Cronenberg with punchlines, y'know?

i also remember thinking, wow, Derek put on a few pounds, eh? i guess Dereks really don't run... but it suits him well. like Kevin Smith, or Tom Selleck with a mustache. just looks goofy without it.

nice little shoutout to Wellington there, too! @berticus just got a chubby.
