Мы тут опять говорили про "потемнение" Фродо в ТТТ, вот интересный кусочек из недавнего интервью Вуда:
How does your character Frodo change in The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers? He realizes that it was his destiny to continue taking the ring to Mordor on his own... In the second film, he's taken the ring, he has taken that responsibility. But at this point, the ring starts to have more of an effect on him; it influences his spirit, his psyche, the relationship he has with Gollum.
How did you prepare for playing this darker side of his character?
It's really just an understanding of what the ring is doing to him. It affects him in ways that he doesn't realize right away — he starts to lose trust and faith in the people around him. So it's not so much getting in touch with a darker side; it's just understanding that wariness of other people around him and that fearfulness. We had a year and a half to film the story, so we essentially got a chance to live out the characters' journeys in real time. The changes were gradual, so you could grow with the character and slowly become manipulated by whatever surrounds him.
