Cinemao Sir of the Rings: Elijah Wood says the cast received ‘not too loud salaries of the franchise three main films were filmed simultaneously – and cast could not renegotiate contract in filming for writing

Interpreter of Frodo Baggins In the three main films of The Lord of the Rings (The Ring Society, The two towers and The King’s Return), Elijah Wood revealed that every cast of the franchise received “not too high wages” and that New Line Cinemastudio responsible for the saga, made a risky financial bet.

During interview with Business Insiderthe artist explained that the company spent a lot of money to film the three feature films simultaneously – without even knowing if the first movie would be public and/or critical success. With a total budget of US $ 281 million, the franchise raised $ 2.9 billion at a box office around the world.

Because of this risk, and filming the three projects at the same time, the actors and actresses did not have an astronomical salary of Hollywood. “Since we weren’t making a movie and then renegotiating a contract for the next, it wasn’t the kind of lucrative scenario you could be calm for the rest of your life,” Wood explained.

The benefit of this was that we were also signing something that would be part of our lives forever.

So he was asked about the rumors that he would have received $ 250,000 for The Lord of the Rings: The Society of the Ring (2001). In response, the actor contested the value, but gave no more details about, with the justification that the subject “doesn’t matter”.

Furthermore, Elijah Wood talked about the comments of Cate Blanchettinterpreter of Galadriel In the cinema, which said “nobody received anything” to participate in the first three films.

“Declarations like this are not made with any kind of wrath,” said the actor. “It is an honor to have been part of these movies and they represent some of the best experiences of my life.”
