NYMag.com has a new interview up with Elijah Wood who’ll be reprising his role as Frodo in The Hobbit, and perhaps the most interesting bit is his response to the question about when he’ll be going down to New Zealand to shoot his scenes.
Here’s what Elijah said:
October. I’m going to the U.K. first to do some shooting, but then I’m going down in October for the New Zealand part.
Not to jump to any conclusions, but does this potentially mean Sir Christopher Lee will be shooting his scenes in the UK this October? Discuss over at our message boards. The entire interview can be found over at NYMag.com.
On this episode of Hobbit in 5, we talk about more pictures from the Hobbit, Howard Shore will be honored at the World Soundtrack Awards, Liv Tyler wants a cameo in The Hobbit, and Elijah Wood’s interview about returning to Middle Earth. We’ll also take a look at Smaug for our character study!
Thanks to our executive producers: Rodney E. Eaton, Josh Long, Kelly Lombard, Krista Cherée Hulsman, Jeffrey Campbell, and Steve Aultman
London, Jun 28 (PTI) Actor Elijah Wood feels he”s heading to a “family reunion” as he prepares to film a cameo for ”The Hobbit”.
The 30-year-old actor will be seen in a small role in the film and he feels at home on the sets because he grew so close to many of the cast and crew during his ”Lord Of The Rings” days.
“It feels like a family reunion that I”m going back for. A number of the cast members are coming back. I went back (to New Zealand) a year ago in February just to visit. I was down in Australia, so I went over for nine days and caught up with a bunch of people. It was wild, man, to be back in that whirlwind, see all those people, but working in Middle Earth again. It was really cool to be back there, and I feel like it”s going to feel the same. More..
During Toy Fair 2010, Sideshow Collectibles announced they would be going back to their roots in their The Lord of the Rings license by once again doing maquettes of the characters in Middle-earth. What Sideshow told us was that this line would give us different aspects of the characters we have grown to love. Also during the video (view it here) from Toy Fair we got a tease of the concept drawings of several early pieces in the line.
Then in December of last year, during the twelve days of Sideshow, we got a beautiful look at protos of the pieces to come. The image included: Aragorn as Strider, Gandalf The Grey, Arwen, Legolas, and a hidden character in the back. The hidden character was Gimli, Son of Gloin and shortly after we got a great preview video of the upcoming Boromir maquette. We’re now two pieces in hand for this line with Aragorn already in our collections and now Gandalf the Grey joins him.

Well folks…the journey is complete. Last night, the final film in the trilogy screened in the US and NZ. Now we are left with our brand-new, excessively high-quality Blu-Ray sets to satisfy our LOTR needs. But before we leave the trilogy screenings in the dust, let’s take a moment to thank Warner Bros. and Fathom Events for making these screenings available to the US market. Wouldn’t it be great if they did this once every few years? And if they could arrange for international viewings as well? We’ll work that angle and report back! Just like with the extended editions of FOTR and TTT, we are looking for your reactions to seeing The Return of the King Extended Edition on the big screen. Please feel free to send those reports to spymaster@theonering.net and make sure to include your theater name and location. Below are the first few that have trickled in this morning.
