Calisuri called me having just seen the footage from LOTR. The 90% complete mines of moria scene, as well as some other scenes from the the other two films.
Cali tels me the scenes look wonderful! The cgi was partially done in some places, yet where it was complete it was seamless and really amazing.
‘we have nothing to worry about’ he goes on to say.
‘They showed all the characters, they look amazing, the scope of these films look extreemly huge, and really reall really amazing’
More details coming from the man himself, soon!
TORN Staffer Leo apparently runs faster than Calisuri and managed to snap these FIRST EXCLUSIVE CANNES photos for us, with more to come, from both Leo and Calisuri! This is just the beginning!!
