In a recent conversation on Dax Shepherd’s “Armchair Expert” podcast, Elijah Wood revealed a surprising behind-the-scenes detail from the filming of the Lord of the Rings trilogy. Wood, who portrayed Frodo, recalled that one of the orc masks was designed to resemble Harvey Weinstein as a subtle jab at the disgraced producer.

Weinstein, once a powerful figure in Hollywood, faced numerous allegations of misconduct, abuse, and assault, ultimately leading to his conviction and imprisonment. The Lord of the Rings films were initially meant to be produced by Weinstein’s Miramax, but director Peter Jackson had a different vision, wanting to create three separate films. When Weinstein opposed this idea, Jackson took his project to New Line Cinema, which embraced his vision and went on to achieve significant box office success.

Wood felt it was appropriate to share this story now that Weinstein is incarcerated. He expressed, “I think it’s okay to talk about this now,” and we agree.
