MEN OF THE WEST
No pandering to any particular demographic
Very long pre-production, high ambition and as much use of practical effects as possible + luck.
Viggo Mortensen was like 3rd choice or something for Aragorn.
fans of the books
extense deadlines
people loving their jobs
Not even. It shat on the books in many ways.
Relies on characters instead of heavy visual effects and action.

I know a guy who has read the book 15 times. He hates the movies.
kek
For once give it a fucking rest you degenerate
Focus on practical effects rather than CGI.
I'm astounded every time I see this. Not only at the design of the whole rig, but also that Ian McKellen and Elijah Wood were able to do that scene while being scooted around the set and not actually looking at each other.
I think I'm going to have to watch Fellowship again tonight.
That was great for the most part but Frodo and Gandalf in bag end looks stupid.
This.
3,5 years of pre-production. Weta was done with most of the costumes a year before filming, during the Hobbit they delivered the props on the day of filming.
Pretentious /lit/ please go.
>Aragorn
>have no backstory
Not in the movies
except at least 4 scenes with Elrond, Arwen and Gandalf that were only about his backstory. even in thetrical releases
