Peter Jackson on casting Frodo

“Frodo was a very, very important character in the movies. But he’s also a very difficult character to play and to cast. […] We were convinced that Frodo is gonna be an English actor, ’cause we wanted the Hobbits to basically be English as Tolkien really wrote them. So, we went to London and we started auditioning.

We couldn’t think of any actor to play Frodo. We had nobody in mind. We thought it would be unknown English actor, a young kid. We were in London auditioning for about a month and we’ve probably seen three hundred Frodos. There were two or three that were okay, but nothing magical, you know. ’Cause Frodo had to be magical. Every time the casting room door opened and some nervous young actor would come in, we were saying, ‘is this gonna be Frodo?’ And you sort of know within ten seconds that it wasn’t really Frodo. It was a worry, but we were plugging on.

And then our casting director said to us one day, ‘A package’s just come in the mail. It’s from Elijah Wood’. It was a video tape, a VHS tape. I had heard Elijah’s name, but I’ve never seen a film he’d done. I actually had no face for Elijah, I didn’t know how he looked like.

So, we put the video tape in. Elijah was in LA and heard that we were in London and we’re not gonna come to LA. He really wanted to get this role. So, he hired a dialect coach to teach him accent, he’d gone to the local costume-hire, got some cheesy kind of Hobbit costume on. He’d gone into the trees somewhere behind his house with a friend, and he just videotaped his own audition. He didn’t have our script, so he was reading from the book, he was doing Frodo parts from the book.

I just put this video tape in, and literally, not having known who Elijah Wood was really, I just thought, ‘he’s wonderful, he’s absolutely great’. And so, Elijah cast himself”.

Just read the book and it's a really good one!

We need to start teaching kids about stranger-danger again (if we aren't already). Too many adults getting away with grooming kids.

People definitely shout this??

The ACA is why insurance is so darn expensive. If insurance has to take on more risk and pay out more for "preventive" services then they have to jack up the costs to make money. The federal subsidies are the only way this is affordable. Too bad we can't just make it possible for people to shop around and compare pricing for medical services so the free market can regulate pricing.

Luigi Mangione is not a hero. You celebrate him because you’re ignorant. You’re anti rich people and you hate CEOs so you cheer for the murder of someone you’re programmed to hate. You never heard of Brian Thompson before he was murdered, you just cheer his murder because “CEO” and “UnitedHealthcare.”

But you don’t understand that Mangione did not do anything that will result in a positive change. UnitedHealthcare is still UnitedHealthcare. Nothing about its operations will change. Thompson will be replaced and they will continue to operate as usual.

Brian Thompson didn’t even has much control over the company as you believe and Unitedhealthcare isn’t hurt by his murder.

In your hatred you forget that Brian Thompson was a human being who did not deserve to get gunned down in the streets just because he was the CEO of an insurance company.

Mangione did not make a positive change. The world is not a better place without Brian Thompson. UnitedHealthcare isn’t changing or going anywhere. The people most impacted by this loss are Brian Thompson’s wife and children.

Luigi Mangione is a cold blooded murderer who killed a husband and father and if you revel in this murder just because the victim was a CEO you are actually celebrating evil and you need to reexamine how it is you have to stooped to a level that allows you to celebrate murder because you have issues with the status a person holds in society.

We only get 3 months of decent weather in Washington and you can't take August away from me. It is summer. Agree or fight me. :)
