Christopher Lee’s former occupation is being turned into another Lord of the Rings movie almost 10 years after his death.
The article about Christopher Lee says he’s been in so many things that it’s hard to name why he’s more iconic. Obviously, the nerdier people among you reading this may sometimes remember him at first as Saruman in the later Lord of the Rings movies, although I’ll always have a comfortable place for him as Ansem the Clever in Kingdom Center. 2 (what to get). Before Lee died in 2015, he had to appear in a few Hobbit films, reprising his role as Saruman in the Last Generation, and now, as it looks like it won’t be the Greatest Generation, we’ll be hearing his resonance. like nature.
At this rate, the first Lord of the Rings anime film, The Rohirrim War, is guaranteed to hit theaters, taking place before the latest Lord of the Rings and The Hobbit films, and Saruman is set to appear in it. Philippa Boyens, established collaborator of Peter Jackson and co-writer of the Lord of the Rings and Hobbit films, recently made an appearance at New York ComicCon, where she spoke with TheOneRing.net, who discussed Lee’s appearance at the then movie. “We entered his [recordings]”I had to go back and listen to his voice, not just doing his lines, but talking to us while we were recording it,” Boyens said.
“We are based [his performance on The War of Rohirrim] in a line from The Hobbit, which is “Do you need help, my lady?”, a version of that line. “We can see how many takes he did of it, we can use it, we can find a new reading and change it a little bit… but it’s an authentic part of Christopher Lee’s performance.”
It should be noted that the team received the blessing of Gitte Lee, the wife of Christopher Lee, who has also now passed away, to include used recordings of the beloved actor in the new film, so at least there are no virtual ones. Grave robbing is happening right here. Boyens also noted that they didn’t know if it would be possible to find a Hobbit design that would work for the anime, so they looked for a similar sound, but said: “Now I know the Internet is going to say that there are a million people who could have made “Chris Lee’s voice, but you know what? I don’t think so. I’m really glad we used his own voice.”
The Lord of the Rings: War of the Rohirrim will be out on December 13, at this rate.
