Elijah Wood says it was a financial “gamble” to star in ‘The Lord Of The Rings’
The Lord Of The Rings trilogy.The actor, who played Frodo Baggins, said in a new interview, that New Line Cinema took a “real gamble” filming all three movies simultaneously without knowing how the first would fare at the box office.To mitigate financial risk, he said the ensemble cast were offered “not massive salaries,” as a result.“Because we weren’t making one movie and then renegotiating a contract for the next, it wasn’t the sort of lucrative scenario that you could sort of rest easy for the rest of your life, he told the Business Insider.“The benefit of that was that we were also signing up for something that was going to be a part of our lives forever,” he added.When asked about rumours that he was paid $250,000 (£190,000) for The Fellowship Of The Ring, Wood disputed the figure, but didn’t share more. “It doesn’t matter,” he said.The trilogy had a budget of $281million (£220million) and made $2.9billion (£2.3billion) worldwide.Wood’s co-star Cate Blanchett, who played Galadriel in the movies, recently claimed that “no one got paid anything’ to film the trilogy, despite it being one of the highest grossing film franchises of all time.In response he said her comment was “hilarious” and but it was made in jest.“Statements like that are not made with any kind of ire.

Katy Perry slammed as ‘unforgivable’ by family of disabled veteran, 85, she’s suing for $6M in California mansion war
legal battle over a lavish Montecito, Calif., mansion — which they bought for $14.2 million in 2021 and was previously owned by disabled veteran, Carl Westcott.The “Roar” hitmaker, 40, sued the 85-year-old bed-bound veteran, who lives with a neurological disorder, for back rent and alleged damages.Now, Westcott’s family has hit out at the “Lifetimes” singer for her “greedy” actions as they accused the Hollywood elite of “treating ordinary people like dirt.”“She has no sense of fair play, no empathy, zero empathy, quite the opposite,” the veteran’s son, Chart Westcott, told The Sun.“The worse the condition my father is in, the harsher they’ve been in trial,” Chart said of the pop star and her legal team.The two parties have been locked in a legal feud since 2020, when Westcott signed a deal to sell his sprawling 8.9-acre property to Perry and Bloom during the pandemic.However, he later claimed that his judgment had been impaired as a result of a slew of health issues he is battling, saying he was not in the right headspace to enter into the contract at the time.As a result, Westcott was slapped with a lawsuit from the singer and her legal team. In December 2023, Perry and Bloom were declared the legal owners of the gated mansion following a four-year legal battle.After getting the keys to the property in March 2024, Perry launched a large-scale lawsuit against Westcott through her team, claiming the disabled veteran owes her $6 million — a claim that his family is disputing.“She can cause damage in other people’s lives,” Chart told the outlet.
