I just finished watching the new LOTR doumentaries...

Where the hell is David Wenham?? He is nowhere to be seen here. There is not a single shot of him anywhere (although the dummy they made of him shows up). As far as I can tell, he's the only actor who does not appear in any of the docs. It's like he was never in the films at all!

*grumble, gnash, hmph*

Hmmmm, interesting...

I wouldn't imagine that the actors would have any say as to whether or not their images can be used in these docs, right?

I haven't bought the set yet. I'm dying to see it!

Well, no, of course not. But what I'm wondering is where is he? Why would there be footage of every other actor, the stunt people, the extras, the crew, the production team, yet not one shot of one of the major players in the film. I mean, he was there, he took part, his character is important to the film. If he was shy about talking to the camera, I could see. But even then, there are many, many shots of actors talking and interacting with each other on set, and he's not there either. It's weird. I can't understand it, and frankly it bums me out. I was looking forward to seeing him here. He did such a wonderful job, and it would have been nice to see him acknowledged. That's what bugs me most of all - that by not showing him in any way, it's like they're making him disappear, like his contribution wasn't worth mentioning.

It IS weird that there's no mention of him anywhere. I wonder if he avoided the cameras? Be interesting to see all 800 hours of footage, no? God, can you imagine having access to it all?? I would die. :-)
