We'd originally planned Lord of the Rings as a type of avant-garde performance art. Our plan was to act out the entire story in meticulous detail with no audience, reinforcing the idea that art is for the artist and not the consumer. However, someone invited Peter along and he was filming, as he is wont to do. Completely ruined the whole piece.

Funny story, in the original script, Frodo was meant to throw the One Ring into Mount Doom. However, when we were rehearsing, Elijah Wood decides he wanted to keep the prop. I tried to remind him of his role by saying "No!", and Andy Serkis attempted to wrestle the ring off of his finger and demonstrate the scene, but accidentally bit Elijah's finger. Tums out, Peter was filming the whole time ! SEAN ASTIN "SAM"

“Me and the lads were just stopping for lunch when we saw a flash and this wild looking, bare footed Kiwi holding a camera appeared. He said he was making a film about World War I and we couldn't help but laugh. No way there'll ever be another war like this one."

Elijah, Martin, and I stole some product from a cartel, and fled to NZ. This guy Peter was following us with a camera, and filmed everything. He said we were being hunted.

Gollum was originally supposed to be a practical effect but this one day some crazy dude in a Mocap suit showed up on the set and started talking to himself. Luckily I had my trusty camera.

The grumpy looking guy munching on a carrot wasn't supposed to be in the film at all. Ian and Viggo were annoyed that Pete is always filming people and decided to get revenge by filming him while he was trying to enjoy a snack betweeen scenes. Everyone else loved it so much that they made him keep it in the final cut.

ORDA RIN LLLER We had a break-in one day during the filming of Weathertop. Five guys with black masks and clothes came into the studio with weapons and was like "I gotta stop them". Luckily I had my sword with that day so I fought them off. Even more luckily, the cameras were still rolling so it ended up in the movie.

It wasn't actually Peter's idea to have me beat up Denethor.I was just having a break and got so tired of John's s---, I took the prop staff and decided to beat the crap out of him. Turns out Peter was filming it the whole time.

The whole tomato thing was never actually in the script. John was on his break and was eating it like a f------ animal, you know? Peter just happened to have a camera on him and was filming.

The whole "second breakfast" thing was never in the script. Billy Boyd just actually eats 2 breakfasts every morning. We were getting ready to shoot our first scene of the day, but Billy didn't want to start before he'd had his 2nd breakfast. Viggo knew we had a lot to film that day and wanted to get started immediately so he said "we do not stop until nightfall". But then he felt bad so he threw Billy the apple he was saving for lunch. Turns out Peter was filming the whole time.

The Ride of the Rohirrim wasn't in the original script. I invited some friends for some early morning horseback riding. Only half of them came but it didn't matter. I thought it would be funny to scream "DEATH" and start galloping and they all followed me. Turns out Peter was filming the whole time.
