Rivalry doesn't help anybody.

One of the first movies I ever saw was 'Batman,' based on the TV series with Adam West and Burt Ward.

It's interesting how the frame rate actually changes the perception of the 3D as well as making it more comfortable to watch.

There's no real rules about what you do [while directing]; it's just you just use your instincts as to the pacing of a film and what is repetitive and what is the minimum amount you can get away with to tell the story, that scene didn't make it in.

One does not simply walk into Mordor.

Everybody's life has these moments, where one thing leads to another. Some are big and obvious and some are small and seemingly insignificant.

No matter how many great performances or exciting visuals we put together for the movie, we found that it was all somewhat two dimensional until we added the emotional heart of Howard Shore's music. Then, and only then, did the film come to life.
