For Sir Ian McKellen's last scene in The Hobbit, which was then thought to be the last time he would play Gandalf, Peter Jackson couldn’t bring himself to say goodbye to Gandalf with words. The planned additional scene's scripted dialogue for the quiet moment beside Bilbo was abandoned on the day of filming. Jackson realised he was witnessing the end of an era (until now) and let the silence become Gandalf’s farewell.

So many small cool details everywhere in the trilogy. Here, the Orc army is chanting: “Katmûda!” — Death to Men! “Gorosh!” — Louder! “Katmûda!” — Death to Men! “Gorosh Chadar!” — Loud enough! Thousands of Orcs move as one, screaming for the extermination of mankind, then catapult the heads of fallen soldiers at the free peoples. Can't make an army more evil than that.

Sir Christopher Lee boycotted the premiere of The Return of the King. Sir Chris was shocked to discover that Saruman’s character had been cut from the theatrical version of the film. After appearing as one of the trilogy’s main villains for two movies, audiences never learned what happened to him unless they later watched the Extended Edition. Peter Jackson defended his decision by contending it was time for the plot to move past Saruman and Isengard and focus solely on the threat of Sauron. When asked if he would attend the premiere, Lee famously replied: “No, what’s the point?” (The Guardian)

On this day in 2003, Andy Serkis accepted Gollum’s MTV Movie Award for Best Virtual Performance and turned it into one of the greatest acceptance speeches ever. It was so good it won a Hugo Award the next year for Best Dramatic Presentation, Short Form.

This is the only time we see Sauron for the trilogy. And he’s an absolute menace.

In the prologue of The Fellowship of the Ring, the original plan was to show a longer battle between Sauron and High King Elendil and Gil-galad, culminating in Gil-galad’s death by disintegration when Sauron grabs him (they even shot this!). It was eventually cut to keep the prologue more concise and because there were concerns it was too graphic. This would explain why Sauron reaches out for Isildur, a point that puzzles many people.

Really wish this was in the theatrical cut. Karl Urban is at his best here. Absolutely amazing acting.

During the Council of Elrond scene, Sean Bean wasn’t just acting thoughtful as Boromir, he actually had his script notes taped to his lap, Marlon Brando-style. The speech had reportedly been rewritten shortly before filming, so Bean kept glancing down to check the lines. It ended up working perfectly for the scene, making Boromir look like he was carefully weighing every word before delivering the iconic “One does not simply walk into Mordor” speech.

The buildup to the Balrog reveal is perfect. It is merely referenced by Saruman with an image in an old book, then accompanied by a growing sense of heavy dread throughout the Fellowship’s time in Moria. All it takes is a single roar to make the goblins scatter, with the pure fear in Legolas’s eyes enough to convey the terror of what is coming.

I still find it crazy that they successfully managed to convey a singular eye having a full-blown panic attack.

One of the biggest changes Peter Jackson made to the book was the story of Andúril. In the book, Aragorn already carries the shards of Narsil before the Fellowship reaches Rivendell. The broken sword is in his possession when he meets the Hobbits in Bree, as an heirloom of his bloodline. The blade is then reforged into Andúril in Rivendell before the Fellowship leaves, and Aragorn carries it throughout the journey, having already accepted his destiny as Isildur’s heir and the future King of Gondor. But in the films, Aragorn spends most of the trilogy avoiding that destiny. Instead, the shards remain in Rivendell until The Return of the King, when Elrond brings the reforged Andúril to Aragorn before the Paths of the Dead. It completely changes the sword’s meaning. In the books, Andúril symbolises a king returning from the very beginning. In the films, it becomes the moment Aragorn finally embraces who he was meant to be. Did you like the changes made for the films?
