Orlando Bloom spoke recently about Wellington, the Hobbit Movie set and his up and coming roles.

He said of Wellington “Wellington is remarkably unchanged after 10 years… It hasn’t been hit by the onslaught of consumerism…” and admitted that he would like to spend more time there.

When asked about how the Hobbit Movie is going to compare with the success of the LoTR movies, Orlando spoke about his impression of the studios, which have grown massively since the last movies, saying they had “a remarkable setup”. He also praised director Peter Jackson.

The new movie is being shot in 3D, but this does not pose any additional challenges as an actor – it just takes a little longer to set up.

When quizzed about his apparent penchant for roles where he gets to dress up in “interesting outfits and long hair”, he laughed and said this was not a pre-requisite and that he just wanted to “have fun”.

Christopher Lee says while he wants to return to Middle Earth, but he doesn’t want to travel all the way to New Zealand to do it. He almost sounds tired talking about the long trip from his home in London.

He would like to get the part of the voice of Smaug though. He talks about this and other things Middle Earth in this very enlightening video. Lee is one of the most knowledgable men alive on the subject of Middle Earth and was the only person involved in The Lord Of The Rings who actually new JRR Tolkien.
