There actually were some scenes where “little people” (my apologies if this is the wrong term), were used in LoTR. Not many, and generally for distance shots. One, though that was blatantly obvious to me, is when Bilbo is about to board the last ship. When he has his back to camera, that’s a little person.
In the scene near the beginning where Frodo jumps into Gandalf’s cart, it’s a child that Ian McKellen catches. There’s a fair bit about the doubles on the dvd extras, but that’s the only one I remember right now.
CMC fnord!
He’s going to reprise the scene where Strider throws him into the crowd of Orcs.
That’s right, he’s going to star in the Gimli Glider.
Have you seen this wee clip from Extras?
How long did it take to carve the Gates of Argonath and is it still there in Australia?
Whoa, I didn’t know that the producers took the time and expense to ship those massive Gates all the way from New Zealand to Australia… 
Well… sorta. I knew the actor that played Gimli was 6’ 1" but I never knew it was Sallah!

I thought Prof X was Gurney Halleck.
That’s where I first noticed him.
Touche :smack:
And the voice of Rex the lead sheepdog from the movie Babe!
After watching the Matrix, it was hard to go back to Babe and hear the sheepdog talk without thinking “sheep - are like a virus - that must be eliminated…”
I didn’t know this!
You need to rent Priscilla, Queen of the Desert immediately. Of the 3 cross-dressing cabaret show performers making their way across the Australian desert, one is Agent Smith/Elrond; another is General Zod.
Not a Superman fan, sorry. I guess seeing Elrond in drag might be worth the laugh, though.
As a scotsman, can I just point out that the accent you are writing with is fucking atrocious.
Thank you.:smack:
Kim Jung Il is Scottish?
And the third one has a bit of a memory problem.
Are YOU gonna tell him he’s not?
No, no, Gurney is King Leodegrance!
