ELIJAH WOOD COMMENTS ON NEW ‘LORD OF THE RINGS’ MOVIES: Elijah Wood told GQ in a recent interview that he’s “fascinated” and “surprised” by Warner Bros. announcing the development of more Lord of the Rings movies. “Obviously at the core of that, is a desire to make a lot of money,” he said. “It’s not that a bunch of executives are like, ‘Let’s make really awesome art.’ And, again, not begrudging anybody because, of course, it is commerce. But great art can come from commerce. So those two things are not mutually exclusive.” Wood added that Peter Jackson’s trilogy “came out of a passion for these books and wanting to see them realized,” and he hopes that the new movies will be made “with reverence for Tolkien’s material and enthusiasm to explore it.”
