”I ride in on an elk, played by a horse named Moose. Moose is the biggest horse in New Zealand. I had this one day when I was shooting with him where I would say my line. He could feel it coming and would start kind of moving out of his mark. And it would never fail. I would say “We have come to tell you”, and then he would start moving.” – Lee Pace

The horse Lee rode in The Hobbit, Moose (the one they CGI’d into his elk), WAS 18 HANDS HIGH. For those of you who don’t speak horse, that means his horse was 6ft tall to his withers which is the highest point between his shoulders. He actually makes Lee look smol, how is this possible??
I don’t know what’s more amusing; Lee flipping the mantle over his head or the orc trying to help him
“Elven movement training that we’ve done with Terry is kind of given me my entire character. It’s not even about movement, as much as it is about thought, kind of like as the wind and the ocean pulls and pushes, it’s like that’s how they move through space.”

The Hobbit: AUJ filmmakers’ commentary:
Peter Jackson and Philippa Boyens share some interesting facts about the movie
- In case some didn’t know, the dwarf next to Thorin is Peter Jackson
- The claw in Frodo’s hands ended up being too small to be Smaug’s (but we can still pretend it is)
- The part about Glamdring not glowing was also because it didn’t glow in LOTR
