McKellen & Bloom Talk LOTR Reshoots

[Sunday, February 10th, 2002]
'Nelly' let us know that Ian McKellen (Gandalf) and Orlando Bloom (Legolas) have spoken a radio station in the UK, Capital FM about the pickup shots required for the next Lord of the Rings movie - "The Two Towers":

Ian McKellen: It's great that we have done these three films. But I talked to Peter Jackson, the director of 'Lord Of The Rings' the other day, and we are going to have to go back because there are pick-ups to do, little extra shots. We were also working in studios that weren't properly soundproofed and so all the dialog had to be dubbed in the first film. You can't tell, but it's true, and we're going to have to do that with the other two films, so we haven't finished. But the basic shooting is done.

Orlando Bloom: I'm quite looking forward to going back for those pick-ups. Really hard work - surfing, snowboarding, skydiving, alongside filming 'Lord Of The Rings'.
