Now I don’t know if this is mentioned before, but I found it quite interesting.
He says “There is a scene in the movie that’s not in the book, where Treebeard communicates to the rest of the Ents that a whole forest has been destroyed. We decided that he should sound like an elephants communicating in those deep rumbles, expressing their pain and rage and determination to act. I think it will be one of the most riveting moments of the film.”
Anyone with scans of the article, send them along!

It is by a Canadian filmmaker based in Vancouver, but he decided that it was too crowded over there. Talk about understatements. Sir Ian plays a guy who goes back to, England to face his past.
Plus, I heard from a reliable source today that yesterday (Wednesday) he was filming a pickup scene for X-Men 2 right outside of St. Anne’s Academy (which resembles the Xavier school and is somewhere along #1 bus route). It’s causing quite a stir here at film school.
(Read more about this and X2 in my exclusive interview with Ian from BC coming soon! – Xo)
