That depends. Since PJ has to send sound crews all over the world to wherever the principle actors have scattered, it's hard to put a time on ADR.

It took about a week for JRD to do the voice of Treebeard and the pick-ups for Gimli. But they had to go to Malta where he was working on another project, to get them.

Wow... Before watching all these details about LoTR it really never occurred to me that they didn't use the audio from their on-screen performance, let alone that the voice might be recorded two years after the picture, like this case. It is much harder to make a movie, this movie, than ever becomes obvious to those watching!

Thanks for the background Deb!

What do they think about how TTT has been received? The ticket sales have been so good, are they overly worried about the nit-pickery purists? If I had put that much work into something, I would be a little hurt by some of the criticisms. Are they? Or do the raves from the rest of the fans balance it out?
