Andy Serkis has "just completed a week" of filming "The Lord of the Rings: The Hunt for Gollum" and says Jamie Dornan is "doing extremely well" as young Aragorn: "He’s fantastic."
"It couldn’t be better, and it’s not just [Peter Jackson, Fran Walsh and Philippa Boyens] who obviously I adore and love and have spent so many years working with, but the entire crew, practically from 25 years ago. So it’s great. And there are generations of their kids too. So it is a big family affair.

Peter Jackson accepts his Palme d'Or and remembers how #Cannes saved "The Lord of the Rings" franchise:
"The media was talking about the gamble was going to fail. So the first film, ‘Fellowship of the Ring,’ was going to come out in December 2001 and so we just finished shooting in December 2000, so we had a year of post-production to deal with. In that year, about February, [New Line Cinema founder] Bob Shaye decides that he wants to have 20 minutes of our film screen here in Cannes because he wants to change the press’ stories that were going out ... Bob Shaye rolled the dice, and so we quickly changed 20 minutes of film, really fast, and we brought that 20 minutes here in 2001 in May, and we did some press in that castle up on the hill and had a party there, and Bob’s great gamble really changed the perception of the film. And for me obviously, it was a life-changing thing. So by the time the film came out there was an anticipation that there wouldn’t have been if not for Cannes."
Peter Jackson receives an Honorary Palme d'Or at #Cannes from Frodo actor Elijah Wood. Accepting the honor, Jackson says it's "never something I never ever thought I would win, ever":
"Thank you for this very unexpected and miraculous award. A Palme d’Or is never something I never ever thought I would win, ever. So this is an absolutely stunning surprise and an incredible honor. I’ve only been to Cannes twice before, but the two times that I’ve come have been absolutely milestones in my career."
