Line 45:
*** Looks awful blue-skinned. In the book, the Gondorians were encroaching on their forest to mine it. [[Avatar|Hmmm...]] Yeah, Tolkien did it first.<ref>David Boyle wrote: "The good Woses have disappeared completely from the narrative, with their implicit message that indigenous peoples, too, are folk worthy of respect. If there are Maori experts on Tolkien..."</ref>
** The movies were originally planned as duology because Jackson thought making a trilogy was going to be a hard sell. Thankfully, when he pitched it as a duology to New Line, they responded with "why do you want to make ''two'' movies?" and just as Jackson was about to launch into his defense of why it couldn't possibly be done in one film, they continued... "this is ''three'' movies."
** Stuart Townsend was actually cast as Aragorn and in New Zealand filming. A couple of days in they realized it wasn't going to work out and called up Viggo Mortensen. [
*** Jackson didn't realize until four days into filming that Aragorn should be an older, mature type.
** Sean Astin lobbied for his father, [[The Addams Family|John Astin]], to be given the part of Gandalf.
