... quelques anecdotes rigolotes et/ou intéressantes sur LOTR:FOTR...

* Ian Holm, who plays Bilbo Baggins, was the voice of Frodo Baggins in the classic BBC Radio adaptation of "The Lord of The Rings" in the 1970s.

* Elijah Wood donned hobbit-forming breeches and a flowing shirt and took to the hills for his LOTR audition tape. He even recruited buddy George Huang, writer and director of the Hollywood satire Swimming with Sharks (1994), to direct him.

* Although David Bowie was said to be keen on playing Elf Lord Elrond, the part went instead to Hugo Weaving.

* Daniel Day-Lewis turned down the role of Aragorn.

* New Zealand's army was cast as extras for large battle scenes in the film, but was forced to back out due to having to serve as peacekeepers in East Timor.

* When the trailer was released on Internet on 7 April 2001, it was downloaded 1.6 million times in the first 24 hours.

* Hobbiton was filmed in the Hinuera Valley near Matamata, New Zealand. The village was constructed and plants and trees were planted a year before filming so the set had an aged look as though Hobbits had lived there for hundreds of years.

* For high-tech tasks, a computer program called MASSIVE made armies of CG orcs, elves, and humans. These digital creations could 'think' and battle independently - identifying friend or foe - thanks to individual fields of vision. Jackson's team could click on one creature in a crowd scene of 20,000 and see through his "eyes". Different species even boast unique fighting styles.

* It is reported that on the first run of the fight sequences using the MASSIVE Artificial Intelligence program, the intelligent fighters - programmed to fight in the most efficient manner possible : all turned and ran away.

(délire).... Imaginez la têyte de Sauron...


* The original cut ran four hours and thirty minutes.

(le DVD qui sort en novembre a un montage d'environ 4 heures je crois (un peu moins)

* In order to make "forced perspective" a bit more interesting, the filmmakers devised a totally new system consisting of a pulley and a platform. When the camera moved (which is normally impossible as the forced perspective would become obvious) the actor(s) also moved, and the perspective (7-foot Gandalf - 4-foot hobbits) would always be okay. They also used three differently sized props (large, medium, small) to interact with the different sized characters

* Viggo Mortensen lost a tooth while filming a fight sequence. He went to the dentist on his lunch break, had it patched up, and returned to the set that afternoon.

* 1,460 eggs were served to the cast and crew for breakfast for every day of shooting.

* More than 1,600 pairs of latex ears and feet were used during the shoot, each "cooked" in a special oven running 24 hours a day, seven days a week. There was no way of removing the feet at the end of the day without damaging them and so each pair could only be used once. The used feet were shredded to prevent a black market in stolen hobbit feet but apparently Dominic Monaghan (Merry) kept a pair.

(c'est clair que le trafic de pieds de hobbits, ça rapporte... ne serait-ce que pour la soupe de pieds de hobbits, un mets très recherché à l'est du Mordor)


* Dominic Monaghan (Merry), wore a fat suit made of foam. He drank three liters of water a day so he would not dehydrate.

* Sean Astin gained 30 pounds for his role as Samwise.
(je me disais aussi qu'il faisait gros).

* Viggo Mortensen did his own stunts.
(quel homme ce Viggo, tiens, je serais une fille, je serais amoureuse je crois... Je ne suis qu'un homme, alors je suis jaloux).

* Aragorn (Viggo Mortensen) says; "I love you" in Swedish/Danish to Arwen (Liv Tyler) when they first meet each other (although some say it's Elvish).
(il va falloir que je vérifie ça (dans un mois quand j'aurais le DVD collector).

* Orlando Bloom (Legolas) did most of his own stunts and broke a rib in the process. (tiens, je serais une fille... air connu)

* John Rhys-Davies (Gimli) developed an allergic reaction to his makeup.
(j'en aurais fait autant)

* While filming the scene where Sam rushes through the river after Frodo, Sean Astin stepped on a branch that was sticking up from the riverbed. It pierced his foot, even through the prosthetic foot, which bled so much he had to be airlifted to hospital.

* Liv Tyler had trouble with her lines in Elvish and was unable to film a whole scene in one go, instead having to learn the dialogue one line at a time.
(mais elle a fait des progrès, l'autre jour, je l'ai vue dans une interview, ou elle a parlé en sindarin... C'était assez intéressant).

* The map Gandalf picks up in Bilbo's study is a reproduction of the map Tolkien drew for the book "The Hobbit", the prequel to the Fellowship of the Ring.
(et honte à ceux qui s'en sont pas rendu compte).

* Sean Bean starred in a UK TV series as a soldier during the Napoleonic wars by the name of Richard Sharpe. He subsequently appeared in a series of commercials where he would allude to his earlier role, saying things like, "Sharpe idea". In this movie he continues the joke: after touching the Sword of Elendil he says, "Still Sharpe.''

* Christopher Lee reads "The Lord of the Rings" once a year and is the only member of the cast and crew ever to have met Tolkien.
(salaud Lee... rencontrer Tolkien... Je vous jure, le monde est trop injuste)

* As well as being the only member of the cast and crew to have met Tolkien face to face, Christopher Lee was also the first person to be cast in the trilogy because of his extensive knowledge of the books. He frequently visited the makeup department and often gave tips about the facial design of the monsters.
(et pourquoi ils m'ont pas choisi, alors hein??? Pourquoi??)

* Eight of the nine members of the Fellowship got a small tattoo, the Elvish symbol for "9" at a tattoo parlor in Wellington, New Zealand, to commemorate the experience of the movie. The ninth member, John Rhys-Davies , declined and sent his stunt double in his place. Elijah Wood's tattoo is on his lower stomach. Two of the other hobbits have the tattoo on their ankles (to commemorate all those hours in the hobbit feet). Orlando Bloom, who plays the archer elf Legolas, has his on his forearm. Ian McKellen's is on his shoulder.
(yep, j'en ai vu un en photo, ce qui m'a donné envie de faire de même... un tattoo en elfique... Oui, mais quoi?)


* After the New Zealand premiere, director Peter Jackson joined the actors who played the nine members of the Fellowship in getting a commemorative tattoo. While their tattoos were the Elvish symbol for "9", Jackson received an Elvish "10".


* The chapter titles "A Long-expected Party", "A Short Cut to Mushrooms", "The Bridge of Khazad-dum", "Lothlorien", and "The Breaking of the Fellowship" from "The Fellowship of The Ring" are spoken lines at their respective points in the storyline with the exception of "The Breaking of The Fellowship" which is foreshadowed during the scene at "The Mirror of Galadriel". "Riddles In The Dark" is also mentioned - the name of a chapter from "The Hobbit".
(et honte à ceux qui ne s'en étaient pas rendus compte)

* Peter Jackson gave the ring used in the movies to Elijah Wood as gift when the shoot was finished.
(Je hais Elijah Wood.... Je suis bien jaloux moi aujourd'hui, que m'arrive-t-il?)

* The three trolls which were turned to stone in "The Hobbit" are in the background during the scene where Frodo, Sam, Merry, Pippin, and Strider/Aragorn are resting after fleeing from Weathertop/Amon Sul.
(et honte à ceux.... etc...)


* Wellington, the capital of New Zealand, changed its name to Middle Earth for the film's opening.
(cool)


* Peter Jackson's two children are listed in the end credits as "Cute Hobbit Children".
(true)


* The original plan was to film "The Hobbit" starring Warwick Davis. But when Miramax balked at the $75 million dollar price tag Peter Jackson took it to New Line which gave him nearly $300 million to make the trilogy.


* Cate Blanchett joked that she took the role of Galadriel because, "I've always wanted pointy ears".


* Director Cameo: [Peter Jackson] As the belching peasant, outside the Prancing Pony Inn in Bree.
(et honte à ceux... Bon, OK, j'avoue je l'ai vu qu'au troisième visionnage).


* Ian McKellen based Gandalf's accent on that of Tolkien himself.


* Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn), who is trilingual in English, Spanish, and Danish, requested the script be revised to let Aragorn speak more of his lines in Elvish.


* The Orc blacksmiths shown beneath Isengard are actually the WETA Workshop staff who made the weapons used in the film.
(Normal, il fallait des gens qui sachent fabriquer des armes).


* The Elvish language lines spoken in the film are not just quotes from the book, they were derived from Tolkien's own limited dictionary of that language. Dialect coach Andrew Jack used actual recordings of Tolkien reading his books to guide the actors' pronunciation.


* Cameo (Alan Lee): Eighth of the human kings that receives a ring of power.
(Alan Lee est un Nazgul!!!!!!!!!)


* The different colors of blue for the elves' eyes revealed what race they were. The Lothlorien elves had light blue eyes, and the Rivendell elves were dark blue.
