Peter looks like he's been locked in Stephen's basement, forced to only talk about LotR

"Peter had grown accustomed to Stephen bringing in bits and pieces of paper during their little 'talks'. Over the years it had become clear to him that Stephen kept detailed notes on all their encounters. This past year however - had it really been a year already? Peter found it increasingly difficult to tell the passage of time in his darkened room - this past year, Stephen's visits had become increasingly rare. A faint glimmer of hope began to rise within Peter's heart. They had made a pact that he would be set free if all of Stephen's questions had been answered, if he had shared with him all that he knew about the Fellowship and their quest. Could it really be that his imprisonment was coming to an end? When Stephen next appeared, and asked if he could ask one more thing, Peter felt in his heart that he was saved. He graciously and enthusiastically agreed. But then, as if appearing out of thin air there it was. Peter knew not its contents, but the sight of the Black Binder filled him with a sense of dread and despair. He instantly understood then and there, that all hope was forever lost..."

@@brianmayabella5992 The Elves of Lorien are not high elves, the actual high elves are the Noldorin, out of which as far as I know by the time of LOTR, the only ones still in Middle Earth are Galadriel and Glorfindel, but the common people of Lorien are mostly wood elves mixed with Sindar elves, which are inferior to the Noldorin, but superior to the wood elves. Even Celeborn, Galadriel's husband is not a high elf, he is Sindar, like Thranduil and Legolas. So the elves of Lorien and the elves of Mirkwood are not that different except the fact that Lorien is kinda superior, being ruled by Galadriel which not only is a high elf, but she also has one of the rings of power, which made the kingdom so beautiful, plus the elves are mixed with Sindar, but still not high elves. And about high elves being magic user specialists as you call them, this is also kinda wrong especially when talking about warfare, because magic in Tolkien's universe is something quite complicated to explain and not very well defined, but it's not like shooting fire balls and thunder strikes, so forget the World of Warcraft mage type of elves, or the Harry Potter type of magic. Even if some Elves would use magic, they would still fight with swords and bows because most magic that the high elves came around was in terms of magical objects such as the Rings, the mirror of Galadriel, the Silmarills, Lembas bread, etc. But even these were mainly done by the high Elves under the guidance of the Valar, which are godly beings. The best way of describing Elven magic is probably ''art'', some divine form of art, but still.

@@Ruintheus There's several competitors to Massive now, like Golaem for example, I'm assuming GoT used one of those if not Massive itself. Also Peter kind of embellishes what Massive does a little bit. It's true that you don't know how a fight will play out exactly but it's not a super advanced AI or anything. It allows you to set formations and basic directions and parameters. They motion capture a bunch of people pretending to be orcs or elves or whatever so they have a pool of matched combat animations, and they randomly select animations to play based on their parameters. While there is some extra 'traits' you can add it's mostly just things like their chance of a 'finishing blow' animation playing. So if you want a small army to beat a large one you can bump up the kill chance for the small army and do the opposite for the large one. This isn't downplaying the software by the way, it was amazing technology for the time, and it's still updated to this day with new features and such

I know it probably seems cliche or like a meme, but my favorite scene is from "Return Of The King," where Sam exclaims to Frodo, "I can't carry your burden, but I can carry you!!" For me, that drives home the power of true friendship to prevail over evil which, I believe, is the true underlying theme of the story.

What a great guy. His humility is part of what makes him so great. It makes him extremely wise and able to motivate others, and that combined with his honesty, and hard work is part of what gives him his creativity, vision, intelligence, will-drive, and ability. Humility is a act of faith and faith can move mountains, and that is literally what Peter Jackson is doing.

I Hi thanks for watching and commenting on my KZread channel God bless you🤗🌞 hope you don’t stop with your love and support❤️👑✏✒✏kindly drop your email address or WhatsApp contact below for more details about my upcoming album , 💫Tour or Concert🎄 🎹🎙🎼🎵🎶🎤🎻🥁🎚💛🌹....................,💫🌟✨

ah steve, you are living the dream! So glad someone with such love for lotr can go out and do things like this

Mr. Jackson’s face when you presented the audition was priceless

Looking at these I can see why my neighbours moved from the Seychelles to New Zealand. Beautiful land!

Stephen was calm, cool, and collected when he interviewed a former U.S. president. Interviewing Peter Jackson, he's disorganized and disheveled, and his questions are poorly phrased. This is who makes him nervous.

It's unbelievable that after watching all the appendices and the trilogy we still get to discover new things about this movie that make your jaw drop! Peter and the team really should make more appendices, or Stephen should do more and longer interviews with them. Idk but I could listen to Peter and the LOTR team for hours.

Jackson has said a load of these miniatures and bigatures etc could end up in a museum or travelling exhibition or something. Hope the plans are still there.

Actually, there was a traveling exhibition when they made the movies. I saw one in London, the dat after they realeased the first poster for the return of the king. Only Isengard was not there, because of reshoots.

Would really love to see an exhibit built at the Hobbiton movie set in NZ where you can walk through and see all the miniatures and bigatures!

One of the biggest differences between Peter Jackson’s LOTR and Prime’s version is that you can see the foundation Peter had in horror films. The movies are actually kinda scary at points and also gruesome. It plays to the setting so well whereas prime doesn’t have that edge so it comes off as a lighter, less daunting world.

So one of his favorite scenes is one he didn't direct himself.

My favourite scene. As are all the Gollum scenes. Serkis completely embodied the Gollum of my childhood.

He's often said he only sees mistakes in the scenes he directed himself, so I guess he can appreciate his wife's filmmaking without the self-loathing aspect

My husband and I just saw all three extended editions at our local theater over the last three days. 21 years later, the battle of Pelennor Fields is still one of the greatest sequences ever put to film. Thank you Pete and everyone who worked on these movies ❤

I feel u Stephen lol. If I had an opportunity to have a sit down with Jackson, I too would have a stack of questions. I can listen to Jackson's commentary on LOTR all day. I absolutely adore this series

I dunno. As much as I love the films (and tbh they saved my life) I'd like to just sit with him and make him a cup of tea. All I really want to say is thank you.

Thank you Sir Peter for treating the finest work in the English language with the reverence with which it is due!

We all make mistakes. Peter Jackson's was letting one of the biggest LotR fans into his home/lair. Silver lining, they had cameras rolling.

How is nobody commenting that it's been about 20 years. 20 years!

And 20 years later the movie still holds up. It looks even better than the hobbit.

I lost it when he brought out the binder XD

Rivendell mini set in back " Seek for the sword that was broken, in Imladris it dwells, ..."

Upload the entire interview, we'll watch it and we'll love it.

i love the scenes in the mines. i love the bit with gandolf about wishing ill and golum having a part to play in their adventure. those lines are perfectly delivered.

That one stuck out for me. It made me think about real life battles and the general state of human behaviour.

everything about this interview is awesome

Colbert finds humour in such small things that it is amazing. He is a talented man indeed.

His 'ohhhh no' was very realistic 😂

The Death of Boromir. I will never not cry at his final speech to Aragorn.

The secret is she didn't gaslight the citizens of her country stupid enough to believe her into thinking it was fake. So her country actually followed CDC guidelines instead of being a bunch of inbred, racist psychopaths with no empathy or braincells.

Can't wait for you to come back to NZ, well actually we can wait, but one day would be great

Best extras Ever! I am tickled by your excitement Stephen!

would love to see you return to classic role as a spy for the upcoming LOTR TV SERIES

“I have no reason to doubt the leader of YOUR country” 😂😂😂

I was privileged to spend time with Peter Jackson one day in 1992 including watching his film Dead Alive (Brain Dead) with him at a film festival. He then hired a friend of mine, also present, to portray young Orson Welles in Heavenly Creatures. Seems like his character has not changed and that's a very good thing. Only briefly met Fran.

That was fascinating, thank you for sharing it

My favourite scene is when Aragorn tells Frodo to run, in Fellowship, and then comes around the corner to like a hundred Orcs all waiting for him, and then he starts demolishing them.

I see Colbert & LOTR i like immediately even before watching 😂

This was incredible thank you.

The best scene for me is Ride of the Rohirrim. There’s about 10 scenes in the whole trilogy that are my favourite, but that one is head and shoulders above the rest

The cave troll scene is still up there for me. i was utterly shocked and horrified when that thing came through the door as a kid. scared shitless

Stephen! You get me! I would have come in with binders of questions too! LOTR were the movies that made me want to pursue film and were the the most watched movies of my childhood! I still remember watching the first movie in the theater when I was 5 and freaking out every time Frodo put the goddamn ring on haha! I used to cry at the ending of the third movie even after watching it for the 1,000th time! My obsession runs deep and this made my need heart very happy! 🖤🖤🖤🖤

My favorite scene in fellowship is the "fellowship of the ring" counsel meeting scene.

Your talents will now become legendary. You rock!

If anyone here has not seen Dead Alive, watch that movie. It is absolutely insane.

Good luck trying to find it, sadly its out of print on dvd. I luckily got a copy.

Frighteners was gold

These are great! I'm in delighted awe!

ride of the rohirrin is my favourite scene, everyone shouting death and Howard's shore score with the sunlight. Amazing.

When you retire, come live in Aotearoa Middle earth New Zealand Stephen 😊

PJ recovering from Hobbit nightmare shooting

I have been a fan of LOTR for several years, but I must admit this is the first time I actually hear Peter Jackson’s voice.

and I was watching again the movie, a few hours ago, like it was the first time, amazing!

"How did you create the Hobbits?" "I told the crew they should look exactly like me".

Stephen is trying so hard to hold his feet on the ground 😂

this is gold thank you so much

Love this! And im even happier now knowing Stephen is a huge lotr/hobbit nerd AND from learning yesterday hes a Star Wars fan too??
