Josh Gad Reunites Lord Of The Rings Cast

From They're Taking the Hobbits to Isengard to All Right Then, Keep Your Secrets, Peter Jackson's Academy Award-winning Lord of the Rings film trilogy gave the internet a whole world of memes. However, when it comes to Lord of the Rings, one meme rules them all: One Does Not Simply Walk Into Mordor.

The clip has survived more than 15 years of meme-ing to become something of a seminal image macro in internet history. However, the line almost didn't end up in the movie.

Appearing on Josh Gad's interview web series "Reunited Apart" this weekend, the whole fellowship joined together for an hour-long talk about working about the trilogy. And what's a reunion without everyone's favorite ring-obsessed turncoat Boromir. Sean Bean, who plays Boromir, joins the cast to give a new reading of "One Does Not Simply Walk Into Mordor."

After giving Bean's glorious recitation, director Peter Jackson tells the tale of "One Does Not Simply Walk Into Mordor," which doesn't appear in J.R.R. Tolkein's book series. He explains that he and screenwriters Philippa Boyens and Fran Walsh wrote the line the night before filming, giving Bean very little time to learn for the Council of Elrond scene. Ever-resourceful, Bean came up with a plan to make sure he nailed the line.

"That entire speech that Sean had to deliver at the council of Elrond was written the night before…we gave it to Sean the morning he arrived," said director Peter Jackson. "What Sean did, which I thought was very clever, is he got a printout of the speech taped to his knee. When he did that scene, you'll see."

Anyone who's ever cheated on test probably recognizes that move.

The whole video is filled with Lord of the Rings treasures, including some props that the cast "borrowed" from set and a recreation of the Gollum and Sam's "Po-Tae-Toes" scene, which is worth its weight in starch.
