Speech
Philippa Boyens:
Okay. We grew up loving these books. We had no idea that we were
gonna go gray trying to make them into movies. And we have so many
people that we need to thank, but the first person we absolutely
must thank is Professor J.R.R. Tolkien. Without him we wouldn't
be standing here. I want to thank my parents John and Jane Boyens
who gave me those books to read. My wonderful brother David, my
sister Nicki, my beautiful children Calum and Phoebe, and Ken Kamins,
Barrie Osborne, Howard Shore thank you so much for everything that
you've done for us. Most of all, I want to thank these two people
standing behind me.
Peter Jackson:
Thank you. Thank you New Line Cinema, Mark Ordesky especially for
all your script support along the way. We want to say hi to our
kids Billy and Katie for putting up so much with mom and dad working
on this film all their lives. Because they're only 7 and 8 years
old. And I especially just lastly want to thank our wonderful cast
who just got their tongues around this rather awkward text and made
it come to life with such emotion and passion and heart. So thank
you very, very much.
