Wood, on the new Lord Of The Rings movies: 'Great art can come from commerce. So those two things are not mutually exclusive.”

“I‘m fascinated and I’m excited,” he said. “I hope it’s good. I’m surprised—I don’t know why I’m surprised because, of course there would be more movies.” But he also has no illusions about the mercenary nature of the decision: “Obviously at the core of that, is a desire to make a lot of money. It’s not that a bunch of executives are like, ‘Let’s make really awesome art.’
And, again, not begrudging anybody because, of course, it is commerce. But great art can come from commerce. So those two things are not mutually exclusive.” Wood finishes up his thoughts with a wider pitch on why he thinks Peter Jackson’s films resonated so well with viewers, quietly drawing a line between those films and these new onesIt came out of a passion for these books and wanting to see them realized. And I hope that that is ultimately what will drive everything forward with whatever these subsequent movies are.
