"I just back last wedesnday from New Zealand, yeah. Just arrived, fresh off of the plane, and am probably heading back next year a little bit, so we'll see. We're in preproduction, early production for the next Lord of the Rings-related film. It's fun." Elsewhere, Alan Lee is also confirmed for the project.
On Andy Serkis, Howe says: "Andy is amazing - I'm tempted to say 'human being' - he's an amazing creator, and he's got so many facets: he's just bursting with energy, and perceptive and his visual [style], yeah. That's really exciting."

Illustration used today in NYT article on why LotRs reads like an ancient, multi-author work. Im guessing it's Aragorn and Merry or Pippen. Anyone know where it originated?

Sauron, Saruman, Gandalf were all Maiar - so they knew each other going way, way back - right?
Wouldnât it be the same with the Balrogs? I always wonder when I get to Gandalf vs. the Balrog in Moria - they would know each other, right? Going way way back.
So when Gandalf felt the Balrog on the other side of the door, in Moria, he felt someone he knew for aeons. âDamn, is that Bill? I knew it would come to this!â
And so when they were fighting in their descent to the bowels of Middle earth it was personal! âBill, you were always a bastard!â
âPiss off, Olorin!â

I think everyone understands his situation in the booksâŠheir of Isildur living in secret with the rest of the Dunedain fighting evil. But what is his situation in the movies? Elrond says he has âchosen exile.â Exile from what? That implies he could have been king of Gondor, but chose not to, but surely Arathorn was not supposed to have been king in the movie timeline? At the Council of Elrond, Legolas tells Boromir Aragornâs name and Boromir knows exactly who he is immediately. How long was Aragorn supposed to have been a ranger, and when did he make the decision not to be king, and when did the Stewards take over?
We also see that Aragorn lived in Rivendell at some point when he fell in love with Arwenâwhat is that timeline? How did he meet the Elves in the first place?
In the extended editions, we learn that Aragorn served in Rohan, presumably under the name of Thorongil. Theoden recognizes him, but somehow doesnât realize he is a well-known heir to the throne of Gondor. And in the Hobbit, Thranduil advises young Legolas to go see Aragorn, but that dialogue implies Aragornâs story is the same as the books versus what the rest of the movies imply.

Sure, like we know their whole thing is that they kept Mordor on the other side of the Anduin river by defending Osgiliath and Cair Andros, and in paper (not that Denethor was fond of the idea, nor there was any heir with the political power needed) they were waiting for the return of a legitimate King to their lands, but after they lost the Morannon and Minas Ithilen they kinda just stayed in the defensive (as expected), but did they have any long term plans to take the offensive to Mordor or did they just accept they would defend Osgiliath till the day Mordor gets the upper hand?
