While talking to reporters after taking home an Oscar for their visual effects work on THE LORD OF THE RINGS: THE FELLOWSHIP OF THE RING, FX leaders Randall William Cook, Jim Rygiel, Richard Taylor and Mark Stetson teased that FELLOWSHIP was "just a warmup" compared to TWO TOWERS.
As Cook told reporters gathered at the Academy Awards backstage news conference, "There's a fully CG character in this one who's a villain, and who plays a pretty major role. Plus there are huge battle scenes."
We assume the character in question is the much discussed and little seen Gollum, but we can't wait nonetheless.
