The Reunion

I hope our new episode of #ReunitedApart brings you some light and joy today. #LordOfTheRings is one of my favorite trilogies of films of all time & this episode which we shot together a week ago to support @nokidhungry , is perhaps our best one yet. https://t.co/JUJWyd8voO

Highlights Of The "Lord Of The Rings" Reunion

This Sunday, we get the band back together!@DomsWildThings @SeanAstin @BillyBoydActor #orlandobloom @IanMcKellen @joshgad https://t.co/bmCEpVVbAV

Gad's 50 minute interview covered a wide range of topics, including adapting J.R.R. Tolkien's famous tale for the big screen.

Another moment from the trilogy was Boromir's famous "One does not simply" speech, where he warns the Council of Elrond that trying to sneak into Mordor to destroy the One Ring is impossible. Jackson admits that the speech was written the day before the council scene was filmed, and Sean Bean's speech was done so well that it became a meme.

Other moments include memories from Andy Serkis playing Gollum and the cast remembering their time with Christopher Lee, who played Saruman in the films and passed away in 2015.
