Billy Boyd & David Wenham Talk ROTK EE
7 August 2004
Quint from AICN caught up with Billy and David at ComicCon, and spoke to them about the ROTK EE.
Billy Boyd: I think RETURN OF THE KING is the best of all the films. The style of it all just all comes together, I think. The way Pete chose to tell the stories with these massive battle scenes and massive shots of cities, then cut to two people sittin' and talkin'. That way just kind of works amazingly well in RETURN OF THE KING. FELLOWSHIP I still really love because it's the introduction to everything. The first time you ever see an elf, the first time you ever see a hobbit, the fellowship coming together... It's all kind of really nice, but I think RETURN OF THE KING is the best. More..
