True confessions of a Tolkien fan...


The greatest line in the 3rd movie: "I AM NO MAN!"
(As she smites the King of the Witches)
Didn't know Robin was King of the Witches, did you?



Every Orc face was individual, and there were hundreds.
This is from the make-up and costume records for the extras.



This is taken from the vantage point of the cameras for the scene of Gandalf riding with a shaft of light before him.

What a couple of happy nerds. Really. We ought to be ashamed.

These are accurate replicas of head gear and sword of the riders. Quite heavy and made from metal. That road behind me was built by the set crew for access to the field and hills around there. That rise behind me was the one the horses came over and stood upon as the King rode up and down the line, clinking swords and reciting directly from Tolkien's writing. It's a stirring scene. (Not goofy, how I look)
