Christopher Lee talar om Sagan om Ringen

French Lucasfilm Magazine gjorde en intervju med Christopher Lee och här vad han hade att säga angående "Sagan om Ringen".




"Q : Have the 3 movies been filmed at the same time ?




CL : I’ll just say that they filmed the whole story. I really cannot say more. They’re shooting the whole story which will be shaped in three different movies. According to my personnal involvement, and what I’ve seen of action scenes, I would say that the effect will be as big as StarWars’ in its time. The two movies possess an epic dimension, though they’re absolutely not alike since the first takes place in space in an undefined epoch, and the other takes place on earth, in fact the « middle-earth » in, again, an undefined epoch. No epoch or precise date is the only connection between these two productions.




Q : I’m a great admirer of LOTR director Peter Jackson. Do you feel the same way?




CL : He’s extraordinary. He’s an absolutely remarkable director. And I know what I’m talking about, because I had the privilege to work with several directors of that level. Of course, in the case of LOTR, what Peter Jackson is doing comes from the mind and work of another genius, J.R.R. Tolkien. But Peter Jackson is an incredible director. He has extraordinary intuition – all of the great directors know exactly what they want and how to get it. They don’t always reach it, they would be first to admit that. But Peter Jackson’s intuition in terms of dialogues, scene organization, is infallible. He seems to always know exactly what he wants – when he says « OK, we just got to print all this », we can be sure we won’t do better, that is very encouraging."
