Unless you’ve been living in a cave lately, you’d know that today marks to wide release of the new Orlando Bloom (Legolas) film ‘Black Hawk Down’.
Month: January 2002
lovelylivtyler.com is reporting that Liv Tyler (Arwen) will appear in Robert Altman’s new film “Voltage” which will begin shooting in a few months.
“Oh my God!” he exclaims when he learns that he’s the most searched-for person or thing on Lycos.com associated with The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring, in which he plays the archer elf Legolas. This week, he’s climbed to No. 22 on the Lycos top 50, up two spots from last week. [More]
Of all the features of Peter Jackson’s film adaptation of The Fellowship of the Ring, few have impressed the critics as much as the subtitled dialect in which Liv Tyler (Arwen) and Viggo Mortensen (Aragorn) preface their smooch. [More]
Olly sends along this great bit of information he learned from the voice of Treebeard himself, John Rhys-Davies! [More]
From: Olly
A little titbit that I picked up whilst speaking to John Rhys-Davies before x-mas and forgot about until I read the piece on him appearing at a comic-con in LA.
I asked JRD about the voicing of Treebeard and he mentioned the difficulties in translating the venerable ent to the big screen (slowness of delivery, long pauses etc.). He also mentioned that PJ and the sound department were experimenting in a ‘layering’ technique in creating the sound of treebeard’s voice.
He spoke of the attempt to integrate the sounds of a tree; creaking branches, straining boughs etc. into JRD’s performance which as you mentioned is yet to be recorded. He took pains to say that this technique was not by any means finalised and that if it didn’t work that they may abandon it.
