His name Elijah Wood will always be associated with his role as Frodo Baggins, hobbit and ring bearer in Peter Jackson’s Oscar-winning film trilogy.”Lord of the Rings“(2001-2003).

The popular actor, who, 22 years after the release of The Fellowship of the Ring, still speaks with the same enthusiasm about the character of Frodo, which made him world-famous to different generations, shared his opinion on the new Lord films. come from the production company Warner Bros. Images.

“I’m fascinated and excited,” the actor said in a recent interview with GQ magazine. “I hope the project is good. I’m surprised – maybe because, of course, there would be more films in this universe. Obviously, the projects are based on the desire to get more money, this is a commercial thing. But out of commerce great art can come. Well, these two concepts are not mutually exclusive,” said the actor and founder of the American film company SpectreVision.

But, as Wood pointed out, The Lord of the Rings didn’t come from there. This was due to the passion for these books and the desire to translate them into films. “I hope that the same motivation underpins the new films, that the writer and cinematographer respect Tolkien’s material and explore it enthusiastically.”

In a separate interview with Extra TV some time ago, Wood, who is currently filming the second season of Yellow Vests, said he would return to the role of Baggins if given the opportunity. “In case more films are made with Frodo, I would.”

Jackson and his team have made it clear that Warner Bros. and New Line Cinema keep them informed about new films and the development process. But what we don’t know is the extent of their participation.

As for the script, will it be based on Tolkien’s books like Amazon’s “Rings of Power” series, or will it be original stories set in Middle-earth?
