- The funny story of how while filming the Fellowship of the Rings, Saruman actor Christopher Lee started to get worried when director Peter Jackson wasn´t happy after a lot of takes... Wasn´t he happy with Sir Christopher Lee´s preformance?

lol, when he switched to quote Ian McKellen his impression is SPOT ON
Right? I checked the screen to see if Ian was in the interview 😂
I love when celebrities bust on spot-on impressions of peers, it’s so funny when they’re really good. And his was great.
Best part! 😂
1000% spot on!!!
Yep!
Rest in peace Sir Christopher Lee, he’ll pass into legend since actors such as him really are rare.
I always forget he passed
Christopher Lee was just a rare man in general look up some of his history it'll surprise you
Not just an actor, real life war hero too
I miss this man.
He's already there.
Hearing Sir Christopher Lee's voice is always a treat. He was such an incredible actor.
I'd have loved an audiobook of him reading the LOTR books
@@Matt-kq3ks He narrates The Children of Húrin and it's amazing!
Did he dieded?
@@ragmority What does "dieded" mean kid? Is this your first time speaking little child? It's spelled "died", but you'll get it eventually. Keep up the good work kid. You're doing great
@@PlatinumEagleStudios If that is a kid, would you feel good about yourself? You're wound up too tight if you get upset at seeing incorrect grammar from people online.
The best part was Christopher Lee doing an impression of Ian McKellen.
More like being worried that it may take "only" nine to twelve takes while Ian already had twenty-four takes at that time. :D
Came here to say this!
Wow
that was me! Glad you liked the impression
@@AlastairGamesyou did Christopher Lee accent
honestly the way the whole crew committed to the trilogy was something very special. it's a work of love from literally everyone, directors, actors, costume designers, set designers, foley artists, *everyone*
I am grateful for it. They made a masterpiece of a trilogy.
Absolutely, when LOTR came out, it had been quite awhile since I'd seen a movie this amazing.
I genuinely believe it should be considered one of the worlds seven wonders.
@@LibertyGoblin Apart from the scene in RoTK, where they lob half a literal building into the orks.
@@maartenwinkelmans1032oh come one that was one of my favorite parts 😅
I bloody love Christopher Lee's voice
You should hear him singing in his metal band!
The amazing part is, that he dubs his lines for German translations himself. Which not only treats us to his voice - but he has this eerie almost not-accent that works astonishingly with Saruman or Count Dooku. It has something noble to it but still that hint of danger. Very hard to describe.
@@WolfFireheart The albums he did about Charlemagne are rad as hell. He also did various collaborations with metal bands, which is just bonkers.
Yeah, you sure do love something else, don't you?
@@robertnett9793Not correct.
He only did the German dub for the animation fim "The Last Unicorn (1982)", which was amazing.
Peter Jackson knew Exactly how each scene should be. He had the whole thing in his head.
Especially the Ride at Pelennor Fields. That scene played out exactly as Jackson wanted and had thought out in his head.
Except the battle scenes! “We ran the computer program and had no idea how the battle would go!” 😂
He needed to have it in his head, since he certainly didn’t follow what Tolkien wrote!
Now I know why the lines were the flawless. Peter Jackson as of now is my most respected and appreciated director.
@@kenrickman6697 Ok nerd
I love how when he quotes Ian McKellen he also nails McKellen's voice and pronunciation :') '"Ooh" he said, "you do not have to worry about thaaat."'
My thoughts exactly! That was a precise and perfect impression of a Gandalf "Oh!"
They both speak dramatic RP so same accent, just had to change up the pitch and timbre.
@@bisto_qcj To be fair he likely heard it 106 times due to the number of takes.
I wish more directors truly cared about their films as much as Peter Jackson cared about the LotR.
I wish he had cared as much about the Hobbit... or had someone else make it.
@@guitarfan01I think I read somewhere that he didn't want to make it but was forced to do so
@@mamienovacuisine And then was always behind schedule when he did.
He was brought in last minute after the original director backed out. He gets more blame than he deserves for those movies. @guitarfan01
@@mamienovacuisine Yeah, he and MGM brought on Guillermo Del Toro to make it and he backed out at the last minute because MGM kept delaying the project due to financial issues.
No wonder that short garden conversation is so incredible...
One fun fact about the making of the movie. When Peter wasn’t sure about something or perhaps needed some guidance on the way something was to look he went to Christopher Lee as Lee had read everything Tolkien wrote and read the trilogy every year of his life from childhood and Peter considered him to be the on set expert.
While he did make a habit of reading the books, and dreamt to be Gandalf for many years, it's erroneous to say it was a childhood tradition.
Christopher Lee was in his teens when the Hobbit was published, and the Fellowship of the Ring was not published until he was well into his 30s. However, he did briefly meet JRR Tolkien, an encounter that made him nearly unique on set, and his experience in the War, and as an actor were invaluable tools for Peter.
he was also the only man on set who not only met but had a correspondence with the professor
you can see why Christopher Lee was so angry with Peter Jackson for cutting Saruman's scene from the end of The Ywo Towers, sequence must have taken ages to film only for it to not be put in the final movie
It's in the extended edition, which is superior to the normal one
@@Christian-Syndicate of course, but it wasn't in the og cinematic cut. I think they now do the extended cut when some movie theatre does a marathon or LotR night or whatever, but when it came out, it wasn't in the movie. Which is a pity but it worked well anyway
As fantastic as that scene is, it doesn’t really advance the story in terms of a Hollywood film meant for the casual movie goer. It’s not essential to the story. Im assuming that many people that saw it may not have seen the previous film and might have been a collaborative decision passed down by the studio. Thats the only thing I can think of
"Ywo Towers"? 😂😂
It was actually the beginning of Return of the King
I miss these times when the horse scenes were filmed with actual horses and not completely cgi or blue screened like they are today.
Yep, I'm just thinking that AI technology has become more advances, someday everyone can make a movie about his favorite books just by clicking the button on their PC.
@disconext yep, literally was watching bridgerton where the up close shots on horses are blue screened. 3 body problem on netlfix also used completely cgi horses and pretty much everything else. But you look at movies like lotr and game of thrones where none or very little of all that was used and they wonder why they did so good. It's because people want to see quality, even if it's outdated. I'm still a huge fan of using puppets instead of cgi in some cases. It's what made star wars what it is. Where would it be without
Shadow and bone use the real animals. The horse, the wolf, camel, etc
Where is the horse and the rider?
They might be filming less with real horses to prevent on set injuries. Still happens today. But you're right it looks better with the real deal.
Wow, this dude could've easily played a wizard in a movie; he sounded EXACTLY like Gandalf for a second!
Lee really really wanted to play Gandalf, but Jackson felt he would be a better bad guy.
I mean….he did play a wizard. Saruman was the white wizard, head of the white council.
@@henrylivingstone2971 haha you're so cute, I was being sarcastic.
@DementedCaver Tolkien actually told Lee that if his books were ever to be adapted into film, he wanted Lee to play Gandalf.
@@themadhannaIt's a shame we never got to see him tackle a role like Dracula, or a master swordsman leading a galactic separatist movement in a space opera.
Every time I see Christopher Lee's face: "Twice the pride, double the fall!" 😂😅
I know, I see only Count Dooku! But Sir Christopher Lee was great in everything he did. :)
@@calebmcurby8580 ik, was to fast with sending
@@indominusrex343 so in your typing you had twice the pride? Lol
It truly is a shame. I would have loved to have seen him in more scenes as count dooku. I know we ended up getting the Clone Wars cartoon series, but they just don't do him justice the way Christopher Lee speaks
_"Lollipopshhhhh..."_
RIP Christopher Lee. Brilliant actor, amazing voiceover work.
Good thing Kubrick wasn’t around to direct the trilogy.
That was unnecessary. I love the shining 😂
@@huskiefan8950 its because he’s notorious for having actors do like over 100 takes at times
He'd still be shooting it now.
@@mag5235 plus he goes all in when he's doing superimposition effects shots (I've heard he shot over 100 hours of film while making 2001)
And burning everything he didn't like
That really says how much Peter Jackson cared for what he was doing with Lord of the Rings. I wish he had that same kind of passion for the Hobbit.
The Hobbit was different, read about it more. He didn't have any preparation time and the movie had to be out, it was the last momemt, he had no time to think or plan just go go go. As I said read about it more. Trust me it wasn't his fault.
@@extrage3061 Why don't people like the Hobbit movies? I love them and I read the book, they seem to be great adaptations as good as the original trilogy.
@@TheOmnipresentNerd ur kidding right ?
@@TheOmnipresentNerd to simplify, the one short book was stretched into 3 long movies, the plot was not faithful to the book (Azog died during the Battle of Azanulbizar, the unnecessary love triangle that existed solely to fill time and because blockbuster movies in the mid 2010s all had love triangles), the unrealistic action scenes (the barrel scene especially comes to mind), and the over reliance on CGI, especially in the last film.
Many people place blame for that on the greedy studio rather than Jackson himself. He was up for one movie covering a short book. Maybe even two. But then they compelled him to make a third movie last minute.
This is a key component to why The Hobbit trilogy failed so spectacularly. They rushed Peter Jackson to just make them a profit as fast as possible and didn't let him do his magic. As is said in Toy Story 2: "You can't rush art."
Wait, the Hobbit movies failed? And spectacularly too? Last time I checked it was still held up in high regards. I mean, JUST because it wasn't as phenomenal as the lord of the rings, doesn't mean it failed. Hell the thing had a budget of 700-745 million and earned approximately 4 times that amount back on it's Box office. And if you call THAT a "spectacular failure" there has to be more to this story that I don't get, especially since this is the first time I have ever heard talk of the Hobbit being a failure in ANY capacity.
@@TheTrytix It was more a failure in comparison to the LotR trilogy, which was basically perfect the way it turned out culminating in return of the king winning best picture and so many other awards. People will always be talking about PJ's LotR trilogy as a masterpiece even decades from now. The hobbit trilogy is not going to be remembered with such fondness.
Box office success should not matter to the common people, it's only important to hollywood execs and such that want to make money just like any other business.
@@dstreetz91 I mean, yeah true. But the Hobbit trilogy was not bad movies. They were still very well made and told a good story. Sure they could never compare to the lord of the rings, because that trilogy was an absolute masterpiece, but that still doesn't mean the Hobbit trilogy was garbage. That's kinda the point I'm trying to convey.
Hardcore Tolkien fans don't like The Hobbit movies but they certainly didn't fail spectacularly.
The Hobbit movies were fine. They just had a different tone since The Hobbit was originally a children's book unlike LOTR which was meant for adult audiences. That's probably the difference you noticed. Hobbit is more goofy and comedic but that's intentional because the original work was for children.
They delivered spectacularly. Today I realize we were spoiled as children. We saw such good films that we didn’t recognize bad films until we were tricked into liking them (referring to SW sequels specifically)
And I disagree about the prequels. It's not that they suddenly became _good_ , it's that they're _not as bad_ as the sequels.
@@fawful94 The Prequels aren't bad at all though. There's a plot hole every now and then but it's largely logical and makes sense. You can't say that for the Sequels.
@@demonwolf570 that's what I'm getting at. It's not like they're excellent movies, but compared to the shitfest the sequels became... Yeah.
The LotR and SW Prequel trilogies were lovely blends of CG and practicals. It's so nice when movies you adored as a kid still hold up 20 years later, even outside nostalgia.
Sir Christopher imitating Sir Ian is Sir Real! I know, there is no pardon for my pun! May Eru Illuvatar bless you and yours!❤
he immitates ian perfectly
This is an interesting glimpse into the reality of the work of an actor
I never really stopped to consider how many takes a scene would need until the director is satisfied
Or even, if an actor is arrogant, they would be offended by being asked too many takes
Makes me realize how complicated it is to juggle people's egos on a set
The last scene they shoot, it was with Elijah Wood, he asked so many times. But it was the last scene, so it had an emotional weight. But it's no easy job. At the Making Of, they usually woke up very early, in the cold, hours of make up sometimes and then go to set. And keep repeating inumerous times a scene. For Kubrick it was a scene per day. It's no fun at all, must be very exausting having to repeat the same thing over and over till perfection, every single scene.
If you have ego you have a large chance of failing as an actor cause you have to be able to work with others and put up with a lot of stress. There's a reason the majority of famous actors are friendly humble people.
2 irl white wizards just discussing life matters
😨
They will be black in twenty years "Yea actually Christpher Lee was a black actor, the white supremacists used AI to make him look white!"
I love how he explains it that it's immodest and not him having an overinflated ego... But he then explains it very intricately about how Peter wanted his lines said...
Between Peter Jackson's attention to detail, Christopher Lee's knowledge, and everyone's dedication, these movies truly are some of the best
I could listen to Sir Cristopher Lee talk all day
He was one of those people who could simply read the phonebook aloud and make it absolutely riveting.
What a voice. What a presence. What an artist. *RIP* Sir Christopher Lee 🙏🏻❤️
This is why LOTR will very hard to duplicate.
You had to have immense talent, with no ego from legends such as Sir Christopher Lee and Sir Ian McKellen, packed with passion to all the members of the cast and crew.
I imagine the reason Christopher Lee wasn't bothered was that he probably recalled how he himself got very passionate about the lines he provided for King Haggard in The Last Unicorn. The man actually brought his own copy of the original novel, with highlighted passages for lines that he personally felt shouldn't be omitted from the script. Which just goes to show what a masterful actor he was, pouring a lot of love and care into his roles that isn't seen enough these days.
He did the German dub for King Haggard himself. Sounded absolutly amazing
I mean when it comes to the LOTR trilogy, Peter absolutely nailed it.
Legends of Men...all of them
Peter Jackson is underappreciated tbh
He got an oscar btw
Laying off telling people is underappreciated when they made a trilogy that won 17 Oscars, including 3 personal Oscars for PJ is underappreciated.
@@rapth0r chill, I just dont think his name is thrown around as much whenever theres a conversation about the greatest directors all time which i think he deserves
@@monkyk1ngIt indeed is. This trilogy made him uber-famous and only of recent has Dune been lauded in the same breath. Everyone knows how good his script, cinematography, casting, artwork and faithfulness came through.
@@monkyk1ng We're chill, you're just wrong that Peter Jackson is underappreciated given all the accolades he won lol
He's far from the greatest of the directors of all time. He directed a very good trilogy, but that's about it. His horror films are fun but nothing insanely good, nor is the botched production of the Hobbit films getting him positive attention. Those are the last films he's done, he's worked on documentaries since then.
Actors nowadays wining about not getting paid 3 billion.
Christopher Lee: i don't mean to be immodest but I usually don't have that many takes.
Well he was in fact bragging though
Which actors? I haven't heard a single famous actor complain about not being paid enough.
@@AIHumanEquality Scarlett Johansson definitely did. Warranted or not, she literally sued Disney over pay for the Black Widow movie.
Better to not pay 1 billion if the government really cares. Other thing is the debt (BIG NOPE)...not going in detail because we got monkies instead of real people.
@@Zelmel That wasn't about not getting paid enough. It was about Disney violating her contract by streaming her movie while it was still in cinema. She's not really a likeable person anyway so not really a good example anyway.
Rest in peace Christopher Lee.
You were a large reason, that so many different movies were actually good.
And...the result is amazing
RIP Christopher Lee not just a legendary actor but a legendary human being.
Just listening to him talk is legendary. No man like him
Where's the blooper?
Take 327:
Mister Wood, I BEG you, just a normal smile
I dont think there are films i love hearing about the BTS of more than the Lord of the Rings. Such a special trilogy
Such a gentleman. His charisma, the distinctive voice, the elegance. RIP 🎉
And NO ONE asked Peter Jackson to make the Star Wars Sequels. Makes me sick.
Probably would have had the same problem as with the Hobbit trilogy. The studio would have rushed him and they would turn out sloppy.
That said, it still would have been better than what we got.
That would been something
That's Jackson's fault, he's not a trans black they/them
Nah, Disney would have botchered it anyway like what happened to The Hobbit
I don't get Jackson, though. After LOTR he never did anything that even came close to reaching a similar level of greatness.
Disappointing, really.
It does matter _enormously._ Sometimes I'll just be watching or listening to something where the actor says the line slightly differently from how I would imagine it and there's a voice at the back of my head which is like,
"NOOOOOOO! You have to put the emphasis _this_ word, not _that_ word! It pratically changes the emotional context of the entire scene! -- What are you even doing!?"
Yes! Without it we wind up with the hollow "wooden acting" as it's called where there's just words but no substance or meaning behind them.
@@rustyhowe3907*cough* the Star Wars prequels *cough*
Yeah. This is a real problem these days with period pieces. The classic Received Pronunciation has so completely died out that I've noticed even British actors can't do it properly and naturally anymore. Up to say the 2000s the Victorian era was sufficiently in living memory for enough people it could still be brought to life totally authentically on screen. There were working actors who had grown up around Victorians. But now our culture has so completely lost touch with our past it's impossible to convincingly recreate it in film (even when they're not deliberately trying to distort and destroy it through """diversity""").
Which matters because well or otherwise cast minor roles contribute greatly to how a movie overall comes off.
@@TomorrowWeLive Ah the pain of remembering enduring those flicks.
You're also spot on when it comes to historical films too, if not the diversification ploys then the over the top antics of trying to be historically accurate.
Trouble is actors are present in a script but not many get too involved with the character, they don't write, rework, practice and merge enough into the character to get the feel of what the person is about nor remain human about it if they stood for a cause historically (too much idealism portrayed which is detached from the history's societal reality and not enough intelligent thinking to navigate said society).
If only WB didn’t own the franchise at the time and ruined the hobbit the way they did. We could’ve had 2 peak middle earth sagas
how was the hobbit ruined? genuine question
@@spencertarver
1. 2 movies stretched out into 3 movies
2. Constantly Shoehorning LOTR references
3. Bilbo is sidelined for the 2nd and 3rd movie
4. CGI overload and bloated action scenes
5. So many pointless and unlikable characters
6. Trying too hard to turn the hobbit into LOTR
7. Little to no development for the dwarves aside from Thorin
Don’t get me wrong the hobbit movies still have a lot of enjoyable moments. They’re nowhere near as bad as the Star Wars prequels, but there’s no denying that they were heavily butchered by the studio and a lack of time and care
@@nicholasstensson9699 Ugh the cgi is sooooooo bad
@@ngotemna8875 wdym? its amazing
Literally any criticism u give to the hobbit applies to the lord of the rings
u think the hobbit is bloated take a look at the lotrs 3-4 hour movies, both trilogies like to take their time tho its easier to fall asleep to the lotr
Yeah the hobbit has some bad cgi, but so does the lotr, the lotr doesn’t just have bad cgi its horrible at times and not to mention the obvious body doubles
The lotr isn’t much better than the hobbit movies, both have pros and cons, the color grading and dynamic range is superior in the lotr but the hobbit has better cgi and a better score, if I have to rewatch one of them I’m going with the hobbit
Dude, you've got one of the BEST jawlines I've ever seen!
I think it's a good reason to have many takes so that you can avoid the phenomenon of the "looping running man" from Doctor Strange Multiverse of Madness.
what happened there? i havent seen the movie
@@wuketuke6601 One scene shows someone running past Strange. But the next camera angles show the same person running again.
Sounds kinda strange
This film series is so timeless because of such attention to detail. We honestly will never see anything like it ever again. The dedication from not just the director but the actors and the practicle scale, even with small scale. Nothing like it ever again. I still watch it in awe and reverence, and never get board. Well done👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
The moment he switched to to quote Ian McKellen caught me off guard, that was amazing
The attention to detail paid off. It’s one of my favourites.
That’s so sweet. The casting was so great in LOTRs. It’s kind of funny to me that Ian sounds to be very positive while Christopher is more skeptical-just, how fitting to the roles too. They’re both great.
Sir Lee loved patting himself on the back😂
Maybe, but he's also right and has been doing this long enough that he can say that kind of thing and have the resume to back it up.
"No problem" he says. Total professional.
Thanks for actually linking the footage you used. It’s a small thing, but many TH-camrs forgo it in favor of faster uploads.
Everyone’s dedication,!love, and attention to detail is what made this trilogy a timeless classic.
No remake, spin off or else. Will come to close to Peter’s Lord of the rings
Proof is in the pudding as they say LOTR has aged impeccably truly spectacular trilogy of film and one we probably won't see again in our Lifetimes.
To nitpick, "the proof _of_ the pudding is in the eating" is the actual metaphor. That is, it doesn't matter how it looks or feels or seems to have come out - you don't know for real whether all the effort has paid off until you put it in your mouth, so to speak. But you're damn right, otherwise: they put all this effort in and it paid off in spades, because the results turned out to be spectacularly delicious :)
The fact that most people would just say what their friend said in their own voice but Christopher here just perfectly copies Ian McKellen's cadence and voice as nonchalantly as if it was natural is the hest part. I never even met him and I miss him.
"you do not know pain, you do not know fear" is branded in my brain forever. Delivery is so important
You never realize how many takes you may need to do until you've done them so many times and your looking and listening to the different takes until you choose the one that sounds best.
Christopher Lee was such an incredible person and S tier actor. Glad his legacy is immortal.
It is a perfect movie and trilogy. Not a wasted second
Man, what a class act. We'll never see his like again, what an absolute professional.
I wish he was still around hes one person i would have loved and still would love to meet and talk about the technical aspects of delivery, lines, story telling abd such. He is a wonderful person and an amazing actor.
I saw a panel with john noble and he talked about how he had to do lots of takes for a scene that wasn't kept in the film
What was the scene?
Not even the extended edition?
He said it was a scene of denethor seeing the ghost of boromir then falling down some stairs.
Rest in peace, Sir Christopher Lee....your life is legendary enough to have a movie of its own!!!!
The LO TR trilogy is incredible. I love listening to the backstory behind-the-scenes. It’s still wild to think that there is enough faith in the project that they were allowed to film all three movies at one time. Instead of the usual of waiting to see if the first one does well.
And let's not forget that having that many takes is not just time, but also money...
It's the "OH" key word that is the start of Ian impression and it's perfect! xD
And it shows in the film they speak very... well they enunciate words and phrases that make the movie so quotable. They stick in your mind like a melody. I feel like Peter Jackson might have written musical notes to get the sound he wanted but I also know they were sometimes writing scripts the night before. It wasn't a hurried production but it had to be perfect. Thr movies are marvellous
Sir Christopher Lee was an amazing actor and human being you are still loved and missed by many!
I have so much respect for so many of the old timey Hammer film actors. You can say some of those movies are goofy or whatever, but the commitment to roles that those guys showed was really pretty legendary. Vincent Price learned a script in German even though He'd be reading them in English, because the character was German and He would be speaking English in the role.
The best acting advice I ever received was that even if every single person involved in the production, from the director down to the catering crew, knows that it's absolute garbage you still give 100% because somebody in the audience is going to enjoy it.
The audience can tell if you're taking your role seriously and having fun embodying the character, regardless of how bad the film might be.
We went from passionate, creative drive, respect of the lore, and meticulous attention to detail... to "You have not seen what I've seen."
That camera assistent running as fast as the horse is the real MVP
very rare for actors to realize the GENIUS in the process.....thats why id watch LOTR trilogy, back to back ANYTIME because the movies are lore filled and have some of the best battle scenes EVER.....
Ian McKellen has to be one of the most comforting souls in existence. He embodied Gandalf as a watcher, guide, and carer SO well, and even off-screen, he's like "Nah, I got you bro. Chill." *hits pipe*
He nailed that impression so nonchalantly it's like he's swallowed sir Ian and absorbed all his traits or something magical like that
Peter Jackson was huge fan of the novels and thus had an enormous amount of respect for Tolkien’s work. So many movies based on books have the content changed significantly with little regard by the filmmakers. It was Jackson’s passion for the source material that made these films so amazing
LOTR trilogy was Peter Jackson's Magnum opus.
The attention to detail with each spoken word, the atmosphere, emotion, practical effects and respect of Tolkien's legendarium was impeccable and the Extended trilofy stands tall to this date as a example for other directors how to make an faithful adaptation that will stand the test of time.
True masterpiece.
The way Christopher Lee talked was so fabulously upper crust.
I will never forget how heartily I cackle when watching the scene on Saroman spinning Gandolf on his neck during their fight. 😂😂😂
I still can’t to this day believe that Sir Christopher Lee is no longer with us! I didn’t know him personally but he’s just one of those actors that I would’ve loved to see in newer stuff.
Rest in Peace, Sir Christopher Lee. My late grandmother had the privilege of acting with him for a Hamlet play in the 90's. Her husband had to be his "butt double" for one of the scenes lol.
That really is a lot of attention to detail. And that's mighty impressive all three of those films were made around the same time and released just a year apart from each other considering these restrictions
due to witnessing latest horrendous production by amazon i would like to appreciate peter jackson and everyone involved especially late sir christopher lee from bottom of my heart for creating such a breathtaking picture .
R.I.P. Sir Christopher Lee, you may not have got to play Gandalf and you were an amazing Saruman, but you're the Gandalf of our hearts
Christopher Lee was a bad ass. Rest in peace. One of my favorite actors.
Attention to detail is what makes an artist truely talented. An obsession to detail.. well, let’s just say that legends are born with an obsession like this.
I could listen to this man all day. We don’t make ‘em like that anymore. 😕
I like the behind the scenes where Peter Jackson relates the story of Christopher Lee telling him the script was wrong because as written wasn't the real sound a man makes when surprised by being fatally stabbed in the back. Which Sir Lee knew first hand from WWII as a soldier in special forces and intelligence.
I love how Sir Christopher Lee says that he doesn't usually get to take 10, and then says, "I'm not bragging, it just doesn't happen."
Art takes time. Passion. Improvement. Its also why its a timeless peice of art.
His Ian Mckellen impression is on point.
Jesus. That's wild. Seems to have a pretty good attitude about it. Definitely someone who loved their craft . I hate that he's gone. He definitely had an attitude about that long robe though LOL he kept tripping on it and getting pissed off LOL that was too funny. If you haven't seen all of the special edition extended behind the scenes stuff you really should it's such a treat. I watched all that when I was younger when I was more obsessed with all this stuff and it was some of the most amazing stuff to watch. It was so fun. I almost feel like it was as good as the movies if not better just to watch the special behind the scenes stuff.
Give props to the fucking jacked dude pushing the camera cart 1000x a day. Dude is the real unsung hero.
He is such a good sport about it, a lot of actors would start screaming what was wrong this time. He is professional in every single one of his careers of which he has had many
I love so much how when he quotes Ian McKellen it actually sounds like Ian McKellen
If i could meet, greet and just have a nice dinner and conversation with anyone it would have been this man. He was just so cool and debonair and just exuded an heir of regality but without being stuck on himself.
Must have been hard to work endlessly hours but the result was having the best 3 films ever existed on the cinema
I love Christopher Lee's voice so much.
