Passion and tons of pre production work

if you haven’t already seen them i highly suggest you watch all the extras and behind the scenes from the trilogy. it shows how many thousands upon thousands of hours of work went into these films. my favourite fact from the bts is they made 80,000 miniature skulls.

By having fun.

illegal sheep workers

God Liv was so cute
Do you think they gangbanged her?

I still dont know how they got Hollywood to trust them with hundreds of millions of dollars to make LOTR in the first place. in 2001 that was a huge amount and a big risk.

i still dont understand who the fuck hired frodo
the rest of the cast is from ok to great but his acting is fucking retarded

early 2000s fashion, jesus christ.

>hundreds of millions of dollars
every single LOTR movie had a budget of around 80-90 million. the total budget for the entire trilogy was 290 million if i'm not mistaken. i would say considering the final result and the massive amount of just pure fucking kino in those movies, lotr was actually pretty under budgeted. nowadays flicks get 300 million budgets easy.

Peter Jackson himself said Elijah was basically the heart and soul of the entire film. No one could have done it better. How do you have an opinion this bad?

Better at the banter than the Yanks. It's why many Hollywood films are shot in the UK these days too.

he does this face for literally any situation and always has shallow acting
sam was great, he saved all the scenes with frodo

Does his attractiveness bother you? Is that what’s going on? Maybe you should rewatch the trilogy to remind yourself how far he took the character you contrarian faggot. Sam was great too.

Kiwis are in Australia you dumbass

I imagine conversation would go pretty stale after six months. Do you think they ever knew another person as well as they knew their chaingang brother?

>vs.

Except no. Literally the whole reason the project was made was because of Harvey Weinstein

>yes i know we will never meet again, cant you see how sad i am? i even moved a couple of facial muscles here while everyone is in tears

This is beyond pathetic

It wasn't budgeted for hundreds of millions when they started. It was going to be two films, budgeted for $75 million, through Miramax. When the budget doubled early on, they shopped it around Hollywood and brought New Line in, and it was expanded to 3 movies, and the total budget being increased to around 300 million.

Did you even understand the scene?

>he must have smoked too much weed again, what's so sad here

still $300 million is still a huge budget for movies today.

the thread was alright before your tard wrangler fucked off and let you use the PC you mong. he's a good actor, he played a perfect frodo, but i imagine brainlets like yourself can't even comprehend why he wasn't crying here .

Pure passion

For one movie? Not really. 3 movies, at the scope of LOTR? Bargain.

The first Avengers movie was 200 million. For ONE movie.

They kept the hollywood jews far away while making the movie.

elijah was the worst actor

Cringe and Bluepilled

imagine samefagging over a purely wrong opinion

indeed his acting is cringy

>no blacks
>old man with young love interest

LITERALLY could not be shot today

You're giving evidence for the opposite of what you're trying to prove

Why are they all dressed so badly?

Take Jews out of things and see the miracles white people accomplish.

early 2000s fashion was a mistake

Eventually feeding seeds

They could watch tv/movies and listen to music. It's not like they were locked in some strict office environment.

It was a different time

Did Elijah fuck this guy's crush? What's he so mad about?

>>old man with young love interest
What?

>Star Wars and LOTR
>The two greatest trilogies of all time, totally BTFO anything made by hollywood
Really makes you think
FUCK JEWS!

what a cringe image

he was the only major flaw in an otherwise unmatched masterpiece

No. The only major flaw was making Gimli a stupid comic relief dwarf.

You mean old female elf with younger man.

imagine being this much of a seething queer

The whole trilogy was in various stages of preproduction but they only earmarked full budget for Fellowship. For instance, Saruman scenes (even the death on the water wheel) were shot two years before Fellowship got released for fear that Christopher Lee would die.
Ironically, its success made Jackson go all-in on the non-practical cg effects for the rest of the trilogy.

Every Gimli line is a joke. Why did they do it, friend?

Why are you filming my scenes first, peter?

Elves fear the dwarf

These things... they take time.
No literally, 98% of movies would be vastly improved if they didn't rush the fuck out of everything.
That and having someone at the helm with passion for the project.

because they are lucky to be kiwis with a homeland as beautiful as it is and perfect a set for lord of the rings. i couldn't imagine it turning out flawless as it is if it was filmed anywhere else. also: passion, dedication, practical effects, little but effective use of CGI, and crew that genuinely cared and were talented in every single area of their departments.

wot a cringe post

Xena also comes to mind, excluding s4-5 of course.

Based Frodo hater autist.

This. Years of pre-production, but also a lot of already developed story and style. They had the plot and word-building done for them by Tolkien and a lot of the design already fleshed out by artists.

funnily enough the costume designer in charge of lotr (ngila dickson) was also the costume designer for xena.

Yeah pretty much The Hobbit films.
