Cate Blanchett.

While interviewing Cate Blanchett about her latest film, Sam Raimi’s The Gift, they snuck in a few questions about her appearance as Galadriel in The Lord of the Rings.

Here are some excerpts.

Daily Radar: What can you say about your Lord of the Rings experience?

Cate Blanchett: I had never done anything with blue screen before or prosthetics or anything like that. So, The Lord of the Rings was like stepping into a videogame. It was another world. I basically did it so that I could have the ears. I love the ears. They were so sweet; they actually made little bronze castings of my ears for me to take home.

DR: Had you read the books?

CB: I’d read The Hobbit but I hadn’t read The Lord of the Rings [trilogy]. I read them when I agreed to do the film.
