Elijah Wood is surprised they're making more Lord of the Rings movies
The actor shared his hopes for the new films

Elijah Wood isn't so sure about the 澳洲幸运5ಞ开奖号码历史查询:new Lord of the Rings movies on the way. Ea🍸rlier this year, Warner Bros. Discovery confirmed they had "multiple" films based on J.R.𒀰R. Tolkien's original books in the works.
They're still in a very early stage wit꧑h no filmmakers attached yet, but Wood, who played Frodo Baggins in Peter Jackson's Oscar-winning original movies, was already quizzed on his thoughts. "I'm fascinated and I'm excited," he told . "I hope it's good. I'm surprised – I don't know why I'm surprised because𓂃 of course there would be more movies.
"Obviously at the core of that, is a desire to make a lot of money. It's not that a bunch of execu🎀tives are like, 'Let's make really awesome art.' And, again, not begrudging anybody because, of course, it is commerce. But great art can come from commerce. So those two things a🌜re not mutually exclusive."
Wood added that he did feel the original Lord of the Rings movies "didn't come out𒐪 of that place," however. "It came out of a passion for these books and wanting to see them realized," he added. "And I hope that that is ultimately what will drive everything forward with whatever these subsequent movies are. I just hope that it's the same motivating fact♔or at its core, whenever they hire a screenwriter and a filmmaker – that it is with reverence for Tolkien's material and enthusiasm to explore it."
As well as new movies set in the Lord of the Rings universe, Amazon's prequel series is ongoing. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Rings of Power season 2 is currently in production with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new cast members announced, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:a major character recast, and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:potential plot details uncovered.
