Interview
with Orlando, Viggo & Elijah, Sci-Fi (Brazil), May 9, 2002

Viggo
Mortensen/Aragorn
Did you read any Tolkien's books?
To be honest, no I didn't. But when I started to read the script, I
immediately recognized many of the elements of the history. Due to my
upbringing (he's Danish), I've grown up hearing legends from the Nordic
mythology, which inspired professor Tolkien.
Is it true that you hurt yourself in
one fighting scene?
Yes. I broke a tooth. Making a saga like this needs a lot of heroism.
But it's impossible not to get hurt, with so many trainings and fights
that we had to do. This is the kind of thing that at the end of filming,
someone is always bound to get scratches and bruises but it's worth it.
I was very happy with the magic of some characters and places like Moria
or Rivendell. I'm very happy with the results.
You were called to replace Stuart
Townsend (who was fired) for Aragorn's role. What's it like to arrive in
the middle of filming?
It was strange to replace another actor in the same role, I was
flattered by this invitation, but on the other hand, I was appalled. I
missed the time to get deep into the character. I think that one of the
factors which influenced the replacement was my age. Aragorn had to be
more mature. Maybe, in a few years, Stuart will be ready for this role.
The atmosphere was heavy at that moment, with lots of things happening.
But then everything was alright again.
In the movie, the kiss between
Aragorn and Arwen divided the fanatics of Tolkien's books. Was it
positive to increase, a little bit, the romance of the history?
What was added in the first movie was enough. The romance between Arwen
and Aragorn must be subtle. Any other change would be against the
Tolkien's literary composition.
When the fellowship lost Gandalf,
Aragorn assumed the leadership of the group. What would be the history
without the presence of the character?
I think that Strider brings out part of the courage, action and heroism
that we see in the movie. He always puts the interest of the hobbits
first, he cares about them. He is noble. More of his character will be
revealed in the next movies.
End of Interview--
Viggo's
last sentence makes you look forward to ROTK.
