Liv Tyler doubted Peter Jackson's talent
She recounts an exhausting shoot that tested her confidence.
Liv Tyler admitted she doubted Peter Jackson's talent during the filming of The Lord of the Rings. In an interview for One magazine published in 2004, she recounts a period of discouragement, doubts about the film's success and a desire to quit. She notes that the experience made her more patient and taught her to trust her colleagues more. The shoot, carried out simultaneously for the three installments in New Zealand, lasted 274 days of filming, far beyond the usual sixty days for a feature film. According to AlloCiné, the workload weighed on several actors, including the performer of Arwen.
