Well, maybe this could be interesting:<\/p>\n<p><b>Question<\/b>: If you could be another character in the film, which one would you like to be? <br \/><b>Dominic<\/b>: Arwen! (Everybody laughs)<br \/><b>Elijah<\/b>: He doesn&#8217;t appear much in this first movie, and he is tortured, bad things happen to him, but&#8230; Gollum! I&#8217;ve liked this character since I was a child.<br \/><b>Liv<\/b>: Maybe the white horse I rode. Because it doesn&#8217;t suffer during the shooting, does it? (Laughs) We (actors) had a tough time. But, of course, it was a wonderful experience as well. <br \/><b>Orlando<\/b>: Viggo. Not Aragorn, but Viggo himself. (Laughs)<br \/><b>Barry M. Osborne (producer)<\/b>: Peter Jackson. (Laughs) He is like a god. But, talking about characters, Saruman. I mean, Christopher Lee. If he were here, it would be even more fun. He has a great ability to learn languages. He can speak Japanese pretty well. <br \/><b>Dominic<\/b>: McKellen (Gandalf). We actually became friends during the shooting period. I think his name is the one that first comes to my mind when I&#8217;m asked this question.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From &Eacute;rica: There&#8217;s a coverage of the LOTR press conference in Tokyo (02\/20) on the official LOTR Japanese&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":false,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[138],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-26750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-old-special-reports"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-6Xs","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/26"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=26750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/26750\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=26750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=26750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=26750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
