so method. I heard he actually lived in character for the entire filming of the movie.
Fun fact: Treebeard also played one of the dwarves. It took 36 hours of makeup every morning to achieve the effect.
I heard Treebeard didn't want to be airlifted to the scene and so walked the entire way to set each morning.
Pretty typical for a treant from Wakanda
Not to mention that Treebeard was allergic to the latex prosthetics they used.
That's why he was a firefighter on 9/11
So Jackson wasn't making a movie based on Tolkien's books, he was doing just as Tolkien had and simply documenting the actual history of Middle Earth.
Have you ever torn up a giant tower disguised as a tree? Have you ever flooded and drowned thousands of orcs and goblins in anger, Peter? I was in the SAS during the war, Peter, and you can't imagine what I've seen and what I've done. I have goblin blood on my hands, and I feel no remorse. Would you like to know how a goblin squeals when he drowns, Peter? It's like a symphony of terror.
