Elijah Wood comments on new 'Lord of the Rings' films

Actor Elijah Wood, who played the Hobbit Frodo in The Lord of the Rings trilogy, is "surprised and delighted" by the development of new films in the franchise. In his opinion he shared with GQ magazine.

But commerce and creativity, in his opinion, are not always mutually exclusive things. However, Peter Jackson's original trilogy "didn't come out of there," the actor said, referring to his desire to make as much money from his films as possible.

“It arose from a passion for these books and a desire to see them come to life. And I hope that in the end, that is what will move all subsequent films forward, ”said Wood.

Formerly Warner Bros. announced about plans to make several new films based on the books of J. R. R. Tolkien. It is known that the action will take place in the Third Age, so the pictures will not be related to the series "

Rings of Powerfrom Amazon. There is no additional information, so we can only guess about the stories that the writers will tell.

Peter Jackson himself, who directed the cult trilogy, noted that the studio keeps him informed of all developments regarding new projects on The Lord of the Rings. It is possible that he will direct new films.
