Ian McKellen filmed his first LOTR scene when he met Frodo in ‘Fellowship of the Ring' (2001)
On his third day of filming, he shot the last scene of ‘Return of the King' (2003)
The two scenes, meeting & saying goodbye to Gandalf, were shot two days apart

In 'Return of the King' (2003), Peter Jackson originally wanted Frodo to straight-up murder Gollum after he bites his finger off and just push him off the ledge into Mount Doom
In 'The Two Towers' (2002) to create the illusion of de-aging, Bernard Hill was given 4 different stages of makeup, from a cursed old man to a younger fully cured Theoden
Onset, Hill had to act out the same shot 4 times & the VFX team morphed the footage together

J.R.R. Tolkien originally titled The Lord of the Rings 'The Magic Ring'
Pictured is the original title page where he made the decision to change it
