Elijah Wood has concerns about unique ‘Lord of the Rings’ movies.
Though the 42-year-old actor – who portrayed Frodo Baggins in ‘The Lord of the Rings’ film trilogy and ‘The Hobbit: An Sudden Poke’ – is in most cases supportive of unique movies in the franchise, he admitted he hopes whoever makes the movies will fill a ardour for JRR Tolkien’s books.
He told GQ: “I’m fascinated and I’m exasperated. I’m hoping it’s correct. I’m greatly surprised—I don’t know why I’m greatly surprised in consequence of, of route there would be extra movies. Clearly at the core of that, is a necessity to plot rather a lot of money. It’s no longer that a bunch of executives are worship, ‘Let’s plot in truth awesome art.’ And, over again, no longer begrudging any person in consequence of, of route, it is commerce. But astronomical art can attain from commerce. So these two issues are no longer mutually authentic.
“But ‘Lord of the Rings’ didn’t attain out of that role. It came out of a ardour for these books. And I’m hoping that that is in a roundabout device what is going to drive all the pieces forward with whatever these subsequent movies are. I correct hope that it’s the same motivating ingredient at its core, at any time when they rent a screenwriter and a filmmaker—that it is with reverence for Tolkien’s cloth and enthusiasm to search out it.”
Wood also revealed he still desired to narrate himself after the success of ‘Lord of the Rings’ and he did not are looking to catch complacent.
He stated: “I did not are looking to relaxation on my laurels. I did not are looking to merely take it straightforward. I knew that I couldn’t take as a right that I’d consistently fill work, even despite the undeniable truth that I was a portion of something as huge as ‘Lord of the Rings’. The foolish decision would’ve been to be worship, ‘It be chilly, I purchased it.’ I was conscious of looking to bridge the gap between having been an actor as an adolescent and being an adult actor and being regarded as for extra adult roles.”
