DISC
TWO
Each
film has a new behind-the-scenes documentary
created by filmmaker Costa Botes. Mr. Botes
was personally selected by Peter Jackson to
capture every moment during production of the
trilogy. He had unprecedented access to the
cast and crew during staff meetings and down
time, training and rehearsals, laughter and
arguments.
Mr.
Botes created 3 feature-length documentaries
using a raw editing style that gives the viewer
a complete fly-on-the-wall experience. Here
are the types of stories and moments you can
expect to find throughout the 3 documentaries
(one per film in the trilogy):
•
Billy Boyd (Pippin) and Dom Monaghan (Merry)
are the ultimate comedy duo, hamming it up for
the camera. Highlights of their antics include:
candid descriptions of how uncomfortable Treebeard’s
branches could be, hanging out in their trailer
with an “inflatable” friend, and
more!
• When Peter Jackson loses a roll of 3-D
film, it’s up to everyone to find it.
See the lengths that the crew go to uncover
the lost photos!
• New Zealand means beautiful landscapes
and…rain, snow, wind and more! See how
frustrating Mother Nature can be when even the
most menacing Ringwraiths must huddle under
giant umbrellas.
• Even the best laid plans can change
and the easiest tasks can take longer than expected…cast
and crew deal with scene changes, long hours,
overtime and additional takes.
• Pranks on set? Really? Get a good laugh
from Ian McKellan in a “fancy” Gandalf
wig, Andy Serkis assessing his Gollum getup,
orcs and Uruk-hai doing a little between-take
dancing and more!
• And, of course, there are things that
go wrong…a phone ringing during a scene,
forgetting a line or two, and mastering a fight
sequence that doesn’t even get into the
final film!
PACKAGING
