{{ I surprisingly enjoyed that. Good choice too for his favourite (current) bit of the books as they are a favourite of mine too. }}

Same here! I was just talking online with a buddy about our favourite books of LotR and I told him that Fellowship will always be my favourite, and it's due to that same stretch of the story.

I thought this would be some kind of raunchy video but it was nice.

I didn't realize Adam Savage was part of the Hollywood prop community. His interest in LotR is cool.

My experience with technical people is that they will not be that interesting unless they can use their toys as a talking prop. Straight interviews only work with actors, whose job and talent is connecting with people. For tech interviews you have to get in there and get your hands dirty or it will be a snoozefest.

Some incredible images in this video clip.

I suppose that blonde chick that keeps showing up is supposed to be an elf, but we are gypped of her ears. With all the effort made to create Rivendell they could at least have landed that concept.

{{ I suspect images such as that one are AI generated Halfy, has that look about it.}}

I'm sure, but couldn't they have told the AI she's supposed to be an elf?

Interesting that they had 7 or 8 versions of this song. They all sound pretty good to me.

by halfwise Wed Sep 27, 2023 1:47 pm

Ah, that's why it sounds different from the typical Howard Shore.

Though they used the same melody in the trailer and film, I liked the trailer performance better.

I saw this at the end of that one, it's pretty cute.

Love the extras on all the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films.

{{ I fear the Rohirrim one will fall flat on its face if its all about how awful all the male Rohirrim are and how lucky they've fleshed out a female character never mentioned by name in the original to be the lead and be the strong female action hero, then Ill be less than happy.
No idea New Line had bought up ME Enterprises let alone had series planned based on TH and LOtR's thats interesting, a tv series is the only real way to do the books justice. }}

by halfwise Thu Nov 23, 2023 12:33 pm

I'm guessing New Line's proposed venture "based on Lord of the Rings" may actually be another delving into the appendices. There's a lot of third age material to cover.

Looks great. I got to see this one day.

by chris63 Thu Dec 14, 2023 9:42 am

Very interesting. Well worth a look.
