I was doing work to return sentences being written in previous though I was not lotr fan.

Can someone integrate that Eljah Wood starred - as far as I know - for the first time in a Hollywood movie in the highly popular Back to the Future 2. (Hint: Look at the two boys in the 80s cafes!).

[edit] Lord of the Rings audition video ?

I heard on one of the LORT DVDs, somewhere in the commentary by Peter Jackson, that Elijah Wood originally got the part because he sent in an audition video he made with some friends - is that video still around anywhere? It'd be funny to see, and if it's online, this article should link to it.

Celebopedia says, "Elijah Wood heard about the Lord of the Rings trilogy while filming The Faculty (1998). Immediately, he sensed that this was the chance of a lifetime. Director George Huang, a personal friend of Wood's, filmed his audition tape for the Lord of the Rings trilogy. He shot the scene from different angles which were cut together for the video. They sent the video off to New Zealand for director Peter Jackson and a few months later, he got the part."

The Wikipedia article George Huang (director) mentions, "George shot Elijah Wood's audition tape that landed him the role of Frodo Baggins in The Lord of the Rings film trilogy."

[edit] About audition video

Hey you,

Elijah don't believe this video can be found in internet. Elijah don't give permission for to divulge this video.

[edit] The Audition Tape

Unfortunately, the audition video tape is the property of New Line and is not available for viewing, although Elijah Wood is quite proud of it. It was the one element that secured his role as Frodo Baggins. However, snippets of the video can be seen on the Fellowship of the Ring (FOTR EE) Extended Edition in the DVD features section about the casting. I do not believe Elijah Wood has control over the rights to this video. edwpat http://www.dancaster.com/ejw

Hey, I heard that Elijah has the control of the rights of the video, and he didn't gave permission to divulge it. But i'm not sure about this bacause many informations from internet aren't true. Liz

No, audition tapes belong to the production company and this one belongs to New Line. But even if it were Elijah's II'm sure he has a copy), he would most likely not have a problem with divulging its content. He was reading Tolkien in the Hollywood Hills wearing a rented custome. He has spoken many times about this video, as has Peter Jackson and other writers and cast members. It is a point of historic pride. edwpat http://www.dancaster.com/ejw

Ok, thank's for info! Liz

[edit] Recent Changes

I've changed some things in Elijah's article, like "Upcoming projects", "Movies in production" or "Previous collaborations".

[edit] About external links

I'd like to know who removed the link in "External links" section and why? I don't have Elijah fansite, but I am just curious. Liz Octorber 16

Liz, the external links were vaporized by several Wikipedians (Langoliers) and when I tried to restore mine (not a fansite either, but I was told it expressed creativity and thus was a no no), I was threatened with Wikipedian expulsion and oblivion. I gave up. This site belongs to the oligarchy and therein lies its chief flaw and downfall. It is what it is. user:edwpat:edwpat http://www.dancaster.com/ejw

This is sad :-( Liz

[edit] Roman Catholic category

Who added Wood to [[Category:Roman Catholic entertainers]]? Is there a citation for this? It's not mentioned anywhere else in the article. --Jrothwell ^(talk) 14:20, 22 October 2006 (UTC)

Elijah has stated he is Roman Catholic, although he is quick to add that he's "Catholic Lite." edwpat

[edit] Latest changes

I really liked the latest changes in Elijah's article. Great job!!! Liz

[edit] Video clips

Elijah has directed a video clip for the band Apples in Stereo. This video should be add in "Video clips" section. I don't the name of the vídeo. Does someone know?
