He kept mixing up his lines because he was so nervous about doing a scene alone with her.

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Sit down

Standing up for at least an hour and a half at 5:00 a.m. does not sound like a picnic to me.

2. According to Sean Astin, on how many different days did the four hobbits have their feet applied even though they were never actually seen?

Answer: 50 days

Interesting side note: the man whose job it was to apply Sean Astin's feet is named Sean Foot.

3. Producers Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh's two children, Billy and Katie, make a cameo appearance in "FOTR."

Answer: True

Billy and Katie Jackson are two of the hobbit children listening to Bilbo Baggins (played by Ian Holm) telling the troll story at his birthday party.

4. Who designed the costumes for "FOTR"?

Answer: Ngila Dickson and Richard Taylor

Nglia Dickson and Richard Taylor were nominated for an Academy Award for their outstanding work on the costumes. Ten costumes had to be made for each actor, body double, stunt double, and (if it applied) scale double. That's forty of the same costume for some of the characters!

Answer: Jane Abbott

Jane Abbott provided all the tricky riding footage for the chase scene. We actually do see Liv Tyler up on the stallion (Florien) as she dismounts in the woods and when riding off with Frodo. The other three women all were a part of the making of the "FOTR." Amy MacLean was a UK casting director. Ellen Somers was an associate producer on the film, and Tania Rodger is the partner to WETA Workshop Director Richard Taylor.

6. What was the name of the phony game Sean Astin, Dominic Monoghan and Billy Boyd taught to Elijah Wood during the filming of the Weathertop sequence?

Answer: Tig

The game Elijah Wood was taught was completely phony, and he didn't learn that fact until a year after it happened. According to Sean Astin, it is "slightly different from tag."

7. Well-known Tolkien illustrator John Howe has a cameo in the prologue as one of the nine kings who received a ring from Sauron.

Answer: False

Actually, another illustrator and conceptual artist for the film, Alan Lee, has a cameo in that scene.

8. Which member of the "FOTR" cast was actually not hired until after principal photography had already begun?

Answer: Viggo Mortensen

Director Peter Jackson felt he had cast Aragorn too young and called in Viggo Mortensen to take over the role. Good choice!

9. It is Legolas who introduces the audience to the "lembas... elvish waybread." During the Cast Commentary, Orlando Bloom calls this line his "Lembas ______ "

Answer: commercial

Orlando Bloom then repeats the line for us in his "Announcer Voice." Very funny moment in the commentary!

10. Elijah Wood claims to have had a very embarrasing experience while filming the "Galadriel's Mirror" scene with Cate Blanchett. What was so embarrassing to him?

Answer: The director wanted him to squeeze out a tear or two and no matter how hard he tried he couldn't do it.

Blanchett gives an absolutely gripping performance as Galadriel.

11. Whose wedding ring served as the basic model for the "One Ring" in the movie?

Answer: Co-Producer Rick Porras

Rick Porras was assisting in blocking and pre-visualizing scenes in Bag End, and using his wedding ring as the fill-in prop when he suggested using it as the model.

12. How long before beginning the on-location filming did the set builders start working on Hobbiton?

Answer: about a year

Director/Producer/Co-Writer Pete Jackson wanted Hobbiton to look like it had been there for hundreds of years. The advanced contruction allowed the gardens and landscaping to mature as well as allowing the wooden structures to attain that nice weathered look.

Answer: Sean Bean

Sean Bean would literally walk, hike, and climb to these remote locations in his full Boromir wardrobe rather than take the helicopter.

14. Which member of the cast had a particularly nasty allergic reaction to his makeup and prosthetics?

Answer: John Rhys-Davies

John Rhys-Davies played Gimli with nearly full-face prosthetics. The reaction was so bad that he could not wear them every day, and in some cases the person we see on screen is actually Rhys-Davies' body double.

15. Who co-wrote "FOTR" with Peter Jackson and Fran Walsh?

Answer: Phillipa Boyens

Jackson, Walsh and Boyens received Academy Award nominations for their outstanding screenplay.
