Daily Dialogue — November 29, 2010

“You shall not pass!”

 — Gandalf (Ian McKellen), The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring (2001), screenplay by Fran Walsh & Philippa Boyens & Peter Jackson, based on the novel by J.R.R. Tolkien

The Daily Dialogue theme this week is five words or less — maximum impact, minimum words — suggested by CWillGoWrite. The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring was suggested by Adam.

Trivia: During the Council of Elrond, leaves are continually falling in the background to suggest that this is a meeting that is taking place outside. This meant about half a dozen crew members were positioned above the set, dropping leaves at various intervals. This also meant that the production department had to collect sacks and sacks of leaves during autumn, and of course dead leaves turn brown fairly quickly. Which also meant that every single one of those leaves had to be individually painted.
