I was bullied and regarded as little bit of an oddball myself.

I find that in the process of making a film you're constantly discovering things that you never even imagined would work at the beginning.

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

Elijah can register such subtle emotion on his face that I loved doing close-ups on him. He really brings a superb emotional level to Frodo's scenes and although he is a very instinctive actor, we discussed the character thoroughly.

In an ideal world the script is written lean and tight and therefore there are no scenes left on the cuttring room floor and therefore no extended edition.

I don't believe in the concept that 3D should be shot separately. I mean, every director has their own style, sure, but I don't think any of that is really an issue with 3D.

For a lot of my childhood, I didn't want to direct movies because I didn't really know what directing was.
