    • Bernard: (when asked if he was familiar with the book Lord of the rings prior to filming the movies) I've got a copy of it from 1977 for my birthday that I used as my reference. I can't own up to having read it all, it is a bit of a heavy read, but I read the second and third books when I heard that we were going to do this. The first book kind of twists and turns so much, it's much more whimsical than the other two. I thought I'll read the script and get some background from the script for (film) one, but as far as my character was concerned there's not really that much info in one at all.
