Elijah Wood talks to NZTV’s ‘Breakfast’ show about his experience judging in the V 48 Hours Film Festival. The Grand Winner this year is a Wellington-made zombie movie, ‘Brains,’ which judges called both “hilarious” and “surprisingly touching.”
In the interview, Elijah also talks about ‘The Hobbit’ and New Zealand. You can watch it here.
Ringer Elpidha tells us that Craig Ferguson interviewed Elijah Wood last night on the Late Late Show about the show Wilfred. The Hobbit wrap party came up in the chat, but Wood didn’t spill any more details about the production.
Ferguson’s interview with Wood begins roughly 19 minutes into the show.

Earl Dittman recently interviewed Elijah Wood for the Digital Journal. The result is this wonderful, sprawling question-and-answer piece where he talks about returning for a second season of the Australian-inspired comedy show Wilfred, and reprising his role as Frodo Baggins for The Hobbit.
No real spoilers in this article, but lots of thoughtful answers from Wood about the differences between tv and film.

A-list movie names Elijah Wood and Sir Peter Jackson have thrown their weight behind the V48 Hours film competition, taking part in the judging of this year’s Grand National Final — including a film that didn’t start shooting until seven hours before the deadline.
The competition, which started in 2003, gives teams just 48 hours to create, shoot and submit a short film that must contain certain elements, and in a certain genre.

‘…There are Orcs, very many of them,’ he (Gandalf) said. `And some are large and evil: black Uruks of Mordor. For the moment they are hanging back, but there is something else there. A great cave-troll, I think, or more than one. There is no hope of escape that way…’
I think back on my relatively young life and can fondly recall a few events that I would consider highlights: My marriage to my beautiful wife; the birth of our daughter; TheOneRing.net Oscar Parties from 2002-2004; Finding my dream job with Sideshow; and that time I got to see 26 minutes of The Fellowship of the Ring at the Cannes Film Festival in 2001. As you can read in my original report, I was blown away by the revelation of Peter Jackson’s vision of The Lord of the Rings on the big screen, especially when it came to the infamous Mines of Moria. Sure it was different from the books, but visual execution seemed to transmit my own visions of Middle-earth and put them on the big screen. So many years later, it is now my privilege to relive some of that sequence through the ‘Mines of Moria’ LEGO® Set, now available at most retailers.
As a preface to my review, I need to remind you all that I am not a LEGO® Set expert. My first experience with LEGO® Sets in many years was building the ‘Shelob Attacks‘ set I reviewed last month. So if I get some terminology wrong, please don’t hold it against me :P.
There are a few obvious differences between the ‘Shelob Attacks’ LEGO® Set and ‘The Mines of Moria.’ First, and most obvious, is that the set is much larger and more complex. Whether it is the ‘action’ elements in the gate and right side piece, or it is adding the detailing stickers just in the right place, you will find this set takes anywhere from 3-4 hours to piece together. Let me say…that is not a bad thing! I’m quickly finding myself addicted to the enjoyment and plain old fun of LEGO® Sets again! (After the break I’ve got 84 pictures of the set!)
