Lord Of The Rings Actors Elijah Wood And Viggo Mortensen Discuss New Movie And If They’d Come Back
Lord of the Rings actors Elijah Wood and Viggo Mortensen have commented on the plans to make additional Lord of the Rings films and touched on whether or not they would come back for them.
Wood, who played Frodo in the Oscar-winning series from director Peter Jackson, told JoBlo that it would be “pretty incredible” to make more movies in New Zealand with the architects of the series–Jackson, Fran Walsh, and Philippa Boyens. “Jumping back into a world that’s so beloved and means so much to me. So yeah, it would be awesome,” he said.
As for Mortensen, who played Aragorn, he told The Toronto Sun that he only just started hearing about the next film, tentatively titled The Hunt for Gollum, when journalists asked for his opinion. He said he understands the team is “serious” about trying to make the movie, but said he’s “not sure how they’re going to do it or what their intentions are.” Mortensen went on to say he looks forward to talking with the filmmakers, but it’s too soon to say if Mortensen could come back as Aragorn.
