Lord Of The Rings Series So Massive It S Someone S Job To Inspect Dust

“In many ways, I’m at my happiest and most fulfilled doing more intimate projects like ‘Saint Maud,’” Clark said in a recent interview with NME. “I feel like I’ve got my fix of the massive stuff by doing ‘Lord of the Rings.’ The amount of [people working] on this show is continually mind-blowing. One guy’s job consists just of seeing how dust reacts to footsteps and breath! That would never have even crossed my mind before. Other than something like Marvel, I don’t think things could get much bigger than this.”

Clark is back in production on “The Lord of the Rings’” series in New Zealand after filming was stopped earlier this year because of the coronavirus pandemic. The actress now finds herself quarantining with cast and crew in a bubble-like environment to ensure the set remains safe and healthy. “It’s definitely strange going into lockdown with people that you have just started working with,” Clark said. “But I think we all treat each other like family. Sure, you’ll occasionally get annoyed by people, but you still like them… because you don’t have a choice. I think this time I’ve spent with the cast will be useful on set. But I obviously worry that the audience will be able to see in our eyes that certain sections were filmed pre-lockdown and some afterwards.”
