4. Peter Jackson didn’t want it to end

When you work on a project for a long period of time, it’s completely normal for you to be upset when it’s finally over.

The same goes for filmmakers. They invest a huge amount of time into making everything look perfect.

But when it’s over, it’s hard to say goodbye to the cast. The Lord of the Rings famously filmed over a long period of 200 days plus, with additional shots afterwards.

The cast formed a strong bond – as you’d expect. This made final shots for the the last film, The Return of the King, exceptionally hard.

Elijah Wood’s (Frodo Baggins) last shot hit director Peter Jackson the hardest. They were filming a scene from the very end of the film, where Frodo is just finishing up his story.

In the behind the scenes footage, the cast and Peter Jackson himself recognize that Peter didn’t want to finish the scene. He prolonged it for a long period of time. But when he finally said they’d got the shot, there were tears all around. Ugh, pass the tissues!
