Lord Of The Rings actor 'had nightmares' about new character |
John Rhys-Davies says he's had nightmares about providing the voice of Treebeard in the new Lord Of The Rings film.
As well as voicing the new character, Rhys-Davies will again be seen playing the dwarf Gimli in The Two Towers.
He says when director Peter Jackson first asked him to provide the voice of the Ent he thought "Oh good, more money!"
"Then my nightmares began," Rhys-Davies tells www.scifi.com. "I've had more cold sweats, more waking up in the middle of the night thinking, 'God, how do I play this bloody thing?' than you can imagine.
"How the hell do you make a walking and talking tree work? What does a tree sound like? I asked this question to a talk-show host in New York City. He had three friends who were Tolkien experts and he faxed them the question, 'How does a tree talk?'" he says.
"They each sent back a letter. Every one of them disagreed with my own instinctive way of doing it. And one of them actually said the only person who really could do this was James Earl Jones. And with that I concur utterly. But you've got to try these things."

More About the Trailer Score

Over the past few days I have been swamped with emails from people telling me that the second part of the score from the new TTT trailer is not really from the soundtrack for 'Requiem for a Dream' but it is a remix of the main theme of this soundtrack. So, it is not from the new soundtrack for TTT, it is not from the soundtrack of 'Requiem' but it is a remix of a theme from this soundtrack. Thanx to everyone who corrected me!

Hair: I have listened to it again with this in mind, and I don't hear it as a remix of any of the FoTR score, do you?
