With LORD OF THE RINGS fans showing their true mettle by participating in Trilogy Tuesday today (all three RINGS films are playing back-to-back in special one-time engagements in theaters), the official LORD OF THE RINGS website has posted a new interview with Orlando Bloom (Legolas). Bloom discusses how his elvish archer has evolved over the course of the trilogy and of his time spent with the Fellowship actors, but with the release of THE RETURN OF THE KING nigh upon us, it's of course this answer as to which moment from the new film is Bloom's favorite that interests us the most...

"The Paths Of The Dead was a great scene to shoot," explains Bloom. "There was a really eerie quality to it. The fact we were walking into this cave of death to summon the dead to aid us, and the fact Aragorn is capable of that power, is kind of eerie. There was a real kind of energy about it.

If you've been off-planet, know then that THE RETURN OF THE KING opens tomorrow in theaters.
