Elijah Wood at Sundance

Speaking to The Salt Lake Tribune, Elijah Wood says: “Did my part already, yeah… I was there for a month. It didn’t actually take that much time for the work. It was sort of half vacation and catching up with old friends and half work.”

“I stood on the hill looking at the hobbit holes and I was, like, ‘I turned 19 here and I’m 30 now.’ It was such a weird thing. And a lot of the same crew were there. That was the most bizarre. It felt like taking a step back in time almost. It was extraordinary.”

Wood has heard the criticism from purist fans of J.R.R. Tolkien’s books about his participation in the films. Frodo didn’t appear in Tolkien’s book THE HOBBIT. He wasn’t even born when the events in that novel took place.

But Wood wants those fans to know they shouldn’t worry about his small part in the movie. “It’s lovely. And it’s very appropriate… What they’ve done is clever and it’s actually a nice entry into the story.”
