Nice bit with Richard Armitage, and I love Martin Freeman’s modesty here — “I’m in the cast as well.” The ceremony to bless the production is sort of amazing, and I got chills seeing that image from the first day of shooting, the one we watch on the monitor over Jackson’s shoulder. I won’t say what it is: see if it gives you chills too.

share and enjoy
