It almost completely ruined one of the trilogy’s best moments.
WithThe Rings of Powerdoing great numbers on Amazon,The Lord of the Ringsis experiencing a resurgence.
The mixed reaction toThe Hobbittrilogy has largely faded and fans are ready to return to Middle-earth.
While the first and best source for the enthusiasm garnered by the new series must beJ.R.R.
But it almost fell apart, right at a crucial moment.
The studio initially showed remarkable confidence in Jacksons talents, greenlighting three huge movies to be shot consecutively.
Mortensen has since admitted to being proud of the finished product but miserable while shooting the actual sequences.
They consisted of months of constant hardship, Mortensen recently toldThe Telegraph.
I hated it, I enjoyed it, I will always remember it.
Stuntman Sala Baker concurred, telling the paper, It was the making and breaking of certain people.
According to The Telegraph, New Line executive Barrie Osbourne had to stay on set to oversee Jacksons filming.
New Line probably doesnt regret sticking with Jacksons production, and Amazon is certainly happy the director held strong.
But none are more grateful than the fans, who get to enjoyThe Rings of Powertoday.
