He might not be involved in the upcoming The Lord of the Rings series that will air on Amazon but Elijah Wood certainly has a lot to say about the Amazon show. For one, the Happy Feet star thinks it's crazy that the studio is ready to shell out $1 billion to produce the adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's work.
In a recent interview with IndieWire, Wood was surprised to find out just how much money is being prepared for the Lord of the Rings series. "That's crazy to me," he said. However, Wood also stated that the amount of money required had probably been made possible by the success of the Peter Jackson films.
Granted, the Lord of the Rings trilogy looked and felt grand. Nevertheless, Wood insists it still felt like a smaller project compared to the films being released these days.
Wood certainly has a point considering that the LOTR films seemed ambitious at the time they were being filmed. Either way, he is certainly looking forward to what Amazon has in store for everyone.
Wood's most recent work was providing the voice of Jace Rucklin in the animated series Star Wars Resistance.
