He even created a language, Elfish, which you can read, write and speak. Despite having seen absolutely nothing of the film, I still think it’s going to create cinema history. Peter Jackson’s instincts are extraordinary, as is his stamina. My God, it would have to be, to film solidly for 15 months.”
