I had an idea.<\/p>\n<p>COLLIDER:\u00a0What\u2019s it like to be returning to Middle Earth again?<\/p>\n<p>WOOD: It\u2019s a gift. We\u2019re now going on over a decade since I went out to New Zealand to start\u00a0<em>The Lord of the Rings<\/em>, so it\u2019s just going to be a beautiful reunion.\u00a0I was actually out there in February and a lot of the same crew and designers, and so many of the family are a part of making The Hobbit as well. It\u2019s just going to be a beautiful, very surreal reunion.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>COLLIDER:\u00a0Does it make it that much more special to have Peter Jackson back for it?<\/p>\n<p>WOOD: Yes, absolutely.\u00a0I was very excited at the prospect of Guillermo [Del Toro] doing it. I\u2019m a huge fan of Guillermo\u2019s work and he\u2019s a wonderful man, but it obviously makes it that much more special that Peter is doing it. It\u2019s going to be a true reunion, in that sense.<\/p>\n<p>COLLIDER:\u00a0Who else is coming back?<\/p>\n<p>WOOD: Ian McKellan is back. Andy Serkis is reprising his role as Gollum. Cate Blanchett is coming back as Galadriel. There\u2019s a few others from the original trilogy.<\/p>\n<p>COLLIDER:\u00a0When will you start filming?<\/p>\n<p>WOOD: Sometime in February.<\/p>\n<p>COLLIDER:\u00a0That soon?<\/p>\n<p>WOOD: Yeah.<\/p>\n<p>COLLIDER:\u00a0How long will the shoot be?<\/p>\n<p>WOOD: They\u2019re going for over a year. They\u2019ve got two films to make.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><strong> <\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here&#8217;s another neat interview with Elijah Wood (this time courtesy of Collider.com) concerning his return to Middle-earth as&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":62,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":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}},"categories":[46,1300,4,74,148],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-41660","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-wood","category-hobbit-cast-news","category-hobbit-movie","category-jackson","category-hobbit"],"aioseo_notices":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p1tLoH-aPW","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41660","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\/62"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=41660"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/41660\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=41660"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=41660"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.theonering.net\/torwp\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=41660"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
